Publisher's summary

After a lavish night of guilty pleasures in Monte Carlo, four best friends face an awful morning of arrests - and a fight for survival.

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. 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 - a fight for survival.

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

Really liked!

I like the fast paced nature of this book! Was great, very suspenseful, enjoyed the narrator!

Interesting

What made the experience of listening to Guilty Wives the most enjoyable?

the story line was good, loved the narration

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I had an idea whom I thought was involved, but never really sure.

Which character – as performed by January LaVoy – was your favorite?

Abby

Outstanding!!!

Loved the story! Twisted and exciting. Took me back to France in a new, terrifying way.

I'm going to pair up with Abbie if I go to Paris!

Probably one of the best books I've listened to in a long time. James Patterson can't be missed most of the time, but I missed this one.

How would you respond to being accused of a murder while overseas on a girls trip? Abbie refuses to believe that any of them are guilty and she's not letting anything get in her way. The emotions that Abbie, and most likely the rest of the gals, are so extreme! From enjoying their time at the pool with drinks and their time in prison. The trials that Abbie goes through in a French prison are highly detailed, and the authors don't skip a beat on any of it.

The narrator of this story is so good with the changing of accents, she goes from english, to french, to spanish, and back again almost seamlessly. I almost felt like I learned a bit of French in the telling too!

Another GREAT James Patterson book!

Awesome book! I LOVE January Lavoy as a narrator. Awesome storyline that really takes the listener on a thrilling ride! I highly recommend!

Great Book

I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I highly recommend it if you are a James Patterson follower.

LOVE THIS BOOK

Loved this book. Kept me guessing and spellbound the whole book. It's one of my favorites in my library.

Couldn't Pull Myself Away!

While putting on my make up, folding laundry or cooking, I just had to keep listening to find out what happened in the next chapter. LOVED IT!

Enjoyable

Overall I enjoyed this book. The character of Abby was well written, a woman who never gave up hope. Her determination and courage throughout is what held my interest. I wish there was more in the story about the other women. They just popped in and out here and there. A few loose ends were left dangling. I would’ve liked to have learned if the sadistic prison guards had faced retribution. Also, the whole motivation of the perpetrator was both understandable and over the top.
