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.

Too many readers

The story, although slow starting was well worth the listen, however, there were so many readers and voice changes that it was sometimes hard to follow. One good reader beats multiple average readers in my book

Shocker ending

Multiple readers didn't bother me, although I prefer just one.
I'm not a huge James Patterson fan but this book was a good time passer on a 6 hour ride and the initial shock ending did leave my mouth hanging open for about 2 minutes.
Not a great book but an okay read.

The Summer's Hottest Thriller!!!

When I first started reading this book, I realized right away it would be unlike any other I'd read. I've been a long-time fan of James Pattersons books and have become acustomed to a particular standard for the quality of work he puts out. Well this latest masterpiece is truly one to exceed all expectations! Without a doubt, James Patterson has managed to release achillingly superb thriller that has more twists and turns in it than any rollercoaster cold ever hope to have! You'll never see the ending coming; there's no way on earth unless you've already been informed by someone else! The characters are stunning and perform nothing short of an all-out miracle, each and every one of them!!!

Beach Road

I agree with other reviewers that multiple readers didn't help this book. It was a little hard to follow. It was short so kept my interest and I liked the twist at the end.

Loved it

Those who have read James Patterson also know that he is a writer that keeps you guessing until the very end. This book does not disappoint. The narration really takes you into the story

The plot knocked my socks off!

I was left thinking about this book long after I finished it. How clever. Patterson does it again.

WHAT A TWIST!

I liked this book a lot but the twist at the end has me not liking it as much. Not what I expected, not typical Patterson. If I had know (not that you would know) how it ended I would never have listened to it. Although the rest of the book was enjoyable.
