Resumen del Editor

Only minutes after Abbie Elliot and her three best friends step off of a private helicopter, they enter the most luxurious, sumptuous, sensually pampering hotel they have ever been to. Their lavish presidential suite overlooks Monte Carlo, and they surrender: to the sun and pool, to the sashimi and sake, to the Bruno Paillard champagne. For four days they're free to live someone else's life. As the weekend moves into pulsating discos, high-stakes casinos, and beyond, Abbie is transported to the greatest pleasure and release she has ever known. In the morning's harsh light, Abbie awakens on a yacht, surrounded by police.

Something awful has happened - something impossible, unthinkable. Abbie, Winnie, Serena, and Bryah are arrested and accused of the foulest crime imaginable. And now the vacation of a lifetime becomes the fight of a lifetime - for survival.

Guilty Wives is the ultimate indulgence, the kind of non-stop joy-ride of excess, friendship, betrayal, and danger that only James Patterson can create.

"This brilliant story of loyalty, betrayal and excess is utterly thrilling – a sun-lounger must!" (5 stars, Closer)

"Must read" ( Saturday Express magazine)

Guilty Wives

Fantastic! Don't know why it took me so long to get this book. I think this is one of James Patterson's best stand alone stories.
loved the book, the Reader, all just perfect. Thank you

Wow

I could not stop listening to this book, it grips you from the start and leaves you guessing right up to the end, which I never saw coming. The narration is fantastic.

Loved this book - Could Not stop Listening

This book has great continuity, well constructed story and moves along at a cracking pace. I also really enjoyed the narrator's performance would listen to her again.

More entertaining than 50 Shades

I have just finished 50 Shades of Grey and this book beats it hands down.

A feeling of tension building.

Any additional comments?

Great story! Great author! Great reader! Well done!

great storyline with a great end

Even though the author gives you a hint of who committed the crime has an excellent storyline with a great ending. Good main character.

Not one of his better efforts I felt!

I can usually tell now when I am going to really get immersed in an Audiobook. My attention seldom waivers and I become engrossed.
This did NOT happen for me with Guilty Wives. It may have had something to do with the fact that I viewed the four Wives as superficial & lacking substance.
The circumstances of their arrest and the plot generally did not generate the level of intrigue that I would have expected. I have enjoyed a number of Patterson's books but this wasn't one of them! The performance was okay but the South African accent portrayal was rather fragile.

Couldn’t stop listening

I really enjoyed this story. Twists and turns throughout the story. Go Abby. Poor Winnie.
