Publisher's summary

A walk down the aisle, a resort hotel, a drink on the beach...for these unlucky couples, the honeymoon's over.

A newlywed couple steps into the sauna in their deluxe honeymoon suite - and never steps out again. When another couple is killed while boarding their honeymoon flight to Rome, it becomes clear that someone is targeting honeymooners, and it's anyone's guess which happy couple is next on the list.

FBI Agent John O'Hara is deep into solving the case, while Special Agent Sarah Brubaker is hunting another ingenious serial killer, whose victims all have one chilling thing in common.

As wedding hysteria rises to a frightening new level, John and Sarah work ever more closely together in a frantic attempt to decipher the logic behind two rampages. Second Honeymoon is James Patterson's most mesmerizing, most exciting, and most surprising thriller ever.

More! When is the next installment of O'Hara?

If you could sum up Second Honeymoon in three words, what would they be?

Exciting, interesting,suspenseful thriller. I know that I used four words, but this story is among the best of Patterson. Could not identify the formula in this one. Spectacular! oops, that is now five words.

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

I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The plot kept me interested.

Have you listened to any of Jay Snyder and Ellen Archer ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to Jay Snyder or Ellen Archer's performances before this story. I will seek out more of their narrations though. Jay Snyder is O'Hara though. I would not want to listen to another narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did want to listen to it all at once, but Snyder's voice put me to sleep. Not because the plot was boring, but because his voice is so relaxing! I found that I had to rewind and play again.

Any additional comments?

Good beginning for a Patterson series about a FBI partnership-hint, hint

awesome

the flow of the storyline was great I enjoyed the two narrators they kept you on your toes great book

Entertaining

What did you love best about Second Honeymoon?

This story has some interesting twists, but some parts were predicable. I loved the dual narrators. Really made the story come to life having a male and female voice.

Sick and twisted and full of fun

Loved both books and the twists and turns throughout. The readers amplified an already great story. I want a book 3!!

Boring

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I found this book a boring disappointment.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Happy it was finely over.

What does Jay Snyder and Ellen Archer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I kept listening because they are good readers/performers, I would never have read the entire book.

Do you think Second Honeymoon needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, just let this book die in peace.

Any additional comments?

I was very disappointed, as I expected to enjoy another good Patterson mystery. There was no mystery in this book, it felt like a formula with little thought.

Fun Book to Listen to

If you could sum up Second Honeymoon in three words, what would they be?

Entertaining, exciting and suspenseful

What other book might you compare Second Honeymoon to and why?

Oh gosh... it's more of a murder mystery with FBI agents. It's kind of like a CSI tv show.

Have you listened to any of Jay Snyder and Ellen Archer ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

They are great. I really enjoyed their voices.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it keeps you hanging. Unfortunately I listened to it on my way work so I listened to it broken up.

Any additional comments?

Good book, kind of confusing when they switch back and forth to different people. It take a while before you realize they are all tied together. But it's interesting and the two main characters are relate-able. It's a good book... but not the best ever!

Not the best; not the worse

Would you try another book from James Patterson and Howard Roughan and/or Jay Snyder and Ellen Archer ?

My favorite James Patterson writing partner is Maxine Paetro. I'm not totally sure that I would try another book by this team, but I won't rule it out. It will depend on the story.

If you’ve listened to books by James Patterson and Howard Roughan before, how does this one compare?

Second Honeymoon is my first audio book by this writing team.

Did Jay Snyder and Ellen Archer do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

The readers were fine, I just didn't find the characters to be very deep or very complex.

Could you see Second Honeymoon being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No. It's too light weight to be a good TV show or movie.

Any additional comments?

The story definitely improved when the two major characters connected.

Perfect For The Beach

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would recommend it to a friend going to the beach for a week.

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

Yes! There are parts of the book that are so sinister but believable.

Which scene was your favorite?

I would spoil it for someone if I was to describe it.

Any additional comments?

I would highly recommend this book. Loved it!

Great story

If you would do without the cheesy music and sound effects it would be great.

Worst audio book I have ever heard!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I cannot think of anyone who would enjoy it. It is badly written, there are two plots that do not really develop into anything and do not really connect properly. As for the narration, so terrible I have no words to describe it!

Has Second Honeymoon turned you off from other books in this genre?

What genre is it???

What didn’t you like about Jay Snyder and Ellen Archer ’s performance?

Just about everything! The worst thing was the ridiculous sound effects. It was as if they knew they were so terrible that they had to try and increase the suspense. Made the story and their narration even worse than it already was.

Any additional comments?

This book was just awful!!!
I don't even have the words to describe how terrible it was. I am highly disappointed with audible for their recommendation of this book!
