Publisher's summary

Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in America's wealthiest resort town: legendary East Hampton. But his job barely keeps him in paper clips. His clients make a living serving the rich. The billionaires and celebrities swarming the beaches already have lawyers on their payroll.

Very Expensive
Then a friend of Tom's is arrested for a triple murder near a movie star's mansion. Tom knows in his gut that Dante Halleyville is innocent. Dante asks him to represent him in what could be the Trial of the Century.

Very Exclusive
Tom recruits Manhattan superlawyer Kate Costello to help. She's a tough hire, because Kate is his ex-girlfriend, but she agrees. In their search to find who really executed three locals, Tom orchestrates a series of revelations to expose the killer, and what emerges is staggering.

Very Explosive
The final scenes of this audiobook unveil a truth that will leave readers gasping in shock. Written with the precision that has made James Patterson "a master of his genre" (USA Today), Beach Road is his wildest, most thrilling novel ever.

James Patterson once again had my mouth wide open after reading his books. Beach Road had alittle bit of everything in it. The ending blew my mind.

One of Patterson's Best

Although this book started just a little slowly, in typical James Patterson, the pace picked up rapidly. One of the best writers of our times, Patterson keeps you on the edge of your seat right until the very end. What a finish. Outstanding.

Well worth your time

James Patterson is at the top of his game with this one. The violence was not as graphic as in some of his Alex Cross novels but maybe that is a good thing. This was an excellent story and true to the mystery genre its not over till it is over.

I hate this ending

I wished A different ending. But the story is a very good one. It kept me up late at night wanting to hear the next tidbit. It definitely not put you to sleep. It will keep you up all night.

Very Miami vice

I was looking for a book with a surprise ending which lead me to Beach Road. Though I already guessed the end before it was over I still enjoyed the book. This book has a very "Miami Vice" feel. It's written almost like a movie script in my opinion. Enjoy!

Beach Road

My first Patterson book. It was the best audio book I've listened to. I can't understand why some of the other reviews were so negative. I liked the straight foward approach to the plot, and was glad I didn't have to put up with the Author's attempt at humor. It was a five star for me.
