Summary
A classic summer thriller from the most popular storyteller of our time. 

When New York law student Jack Mullen learns that his brother has drowned, he knows it can't be an accident . . . 

Jack Mullen is in New York City when the shocking news comes that his brother Peter has drowned in the ocean off East Hampton. Jack knows his brother and knows this couldn't be an accident — someone must have wanted his brother dead. But the powers that be say otherwise. 

As Jack tries to uncover the details of his brother’s final night, he confronts a barricade of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the multibillionaire summer residents from local workers like Peter. 

Soon, he discovers that Peter wasn't just parking cars at the summer parties of the rich. He was making serious money satisfying the sexual needs of the richest women and men in town. 

The Beach House reveals the secret lives of celebrities in a breathtaking drama of revenge with a finale so shocking that only James Patterson could have written it.

The plot kept my interest. But I feel that is mostly due to the superb narration. I didn't find the writing grating. But it also was not clever. This book does move along quickly and has enough twists and turns to keep you interested. Characters are believable and one doesn't roll their eyes at the dialog. But this does not pertain to the ending. It was as disappointing as Bobby Ewing stepping out of the shower--with the "it was all a dream" ending. This is definitely light reading. I am glad I listened to it instead of reading it. It did help the miles pass quickly. Had I read it, I would've felt guilty to give any of my reading hours to this goofy book. I just wanted to try Patterson and see what all the fuss is about. I still don't see what all the fuss is about.

wow took more than have the short book to pick up. I thought it's was never going to have some point and it did end well. I have been reading Patterson for a long time wish the Narrator had some concern in his voice like he finally did in the end.
