The honeymoon is over--now the murders can begin. America's #1 thriller writer returns with his sexiest, scariest novel ever. Hotter than The Beach House and scarier than Kiss the Girls, James Patterson's explosive new thriller introduces a bride who is beautiful, talented, devoted--and deadly. When a young investment banker dies of baffling causes, FBI agent John O'Hara immediately suspects the only witness, the banker's alluring and mysterious fianc'e. Nora Sinclair is a beautiful decorator who expects the best, and will do anything to get it. Agent O'Hara keeps closing in, but the stronger his case, the less he knows whether he's pursuing justice or his own fatal obsession. In a novel so compelling it reads like a collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock, James Patterson unveils surprise after surprise that will keep readers guessing until the last deadly kiss.
Another good one by JP (and Roughan). I really enjoyed it! It reads quickly. Great readers. I like the black widow approach and the ending for sure! Unabridged - 5 tapes

This is an Unabridged Edition. I've been a fan of James Patterson from the get-go, I have 20+ of his audios to get through on my TBR shelf. This is one of them. I got hooked on Patterson's main character "Alex Cross" early on, and that was the driving factor for me to get more of his books. Now comes along, a "NEW" character FBI agent John O'Hara, who goes head-to-head with "Nora Sinclair", an attractive, seductive but very deadly character who traps wealthy young men in her web of seduction, only to end up killing them for their money. Think "Black Widow". Let the games begin! Like all of Patterson's books, this one remains simplistic (you don't get a brain blowout trying to follow everything), and yet the plot twists are never anticipated, and they just keep coming. One word of "Note", Howard Roughan co-wrote this book with Patterson, and his influence is evident! This is probably one of Patterson's most sensual books, that's not like him at all, I see Mr. Roughan having a hand in this! On a final note, this audio is read by Campbell Scott AND Hope Davis, with each of them bringing professional skills and energy to the book. This "Dual-reader" format works well for me - it's a lot better than having one reader trying to voice everbody's lines. Enjoy! Wiley
