The Beach House by: James Patterson

Review:  This James Patterson novel takes a different approach to the traditional crime story.  The victim's family and friends team up to deal out justice to the people responsible for more cruel acts than just murder. In this novel there are only minor twists as the main character researches what really happened to his brother. The scheme launched near the end makes this story mild compared to Patterson's other work but still unique.  The characters you can relate to and really appreciate overall make this book a quick exciting read.  

Synopsis: When Jack Mullen hears that his brother drowned while working valet service for a rich beach party he realizes something isn't right.  He teams up with his old friends from high school and charismatic grandfather to find out the truth.  When Jack and his friends start to get close is when the threats begin and Jack knows that his brother didn't simply drown.  Jack soon realizes that money can cover up just about anything.  However the Mullen's and their friends won't be silenced; they take matters into their own hands and decide to deal out justice regardless of the consequences.

Rating: 7
