I don't think I have yet read a stand alone book by Patterson that was worth my while reading. This is another one of those I wish I could have gotten my time back and read something worth reading.
Fun, quick read. Nothing heartpounding but enjoyed the characters.
I've not yet read comments on this book, simply a synopsis prior to reading it for myself. It might have been a best-seller of 2005, but I never liked the book as I was reading it. It was too slick, Nora was too unexplained, and the narrator has too many irons in the fire. Call it what you will, this is not the Patterson I always enjoyed. But it's one very fast read!
When FBI agent John O'Hara first sees her, she seems perfect. She has the looks. The career. The clothes. The wit. The sophistication. The tantalizing sex appeal. The whole extraordinary package - and men fall in line to court her. She doesn't just attract men - she entralls them.
So why is the FBI so interested in Nora Sinclair? Mysterious things keep happening to people around her, especially the men. And there is something dangerous about Nora when Agent O'Hara looks more closely - something that lures him at the same time that it fills him with fear. Is there something dark hidden amoung the unexplained gap in her past? And as he spends more and more time getting to know her, is she pursuing justice? Or his own fatal obsession?
With the irresistible attraction of the greatest Hitchcock thrillers, Honeymoon is a sizzling, twisting tale of a woman with a deadly appetite and the men who dare to fall for her. In his sexiest, scariest novel yet, James Patterson deftly confirms that he always "takes thrills to the next level."
I was dissapointed in the ending - but overall a good read.
Easy read and a good story.
