The Beach House is a novel by James Patterson and Peter de Jonge. The novel is about a man's quest to find the truth about what happened to his brother. The main character, Jack, is a promising law student whose brother, Peter, dies in a supposed accident or suicide. Jack and his family don't believe Peter's death was either an accident or suicide. Jack begins to investigate exactly what happened to his brother and gets himself, his family and friends tangled into a massive web of cover ups, and people who will do anything to keep the truth from coming out.
James Patterson's books tend to have excellent plots, but are typically a little unrealistic and brought around to conclusion way too easily. This book was no exception. That doesn't mean that it wasn't entertaining or interesting. Quite the contrary. In this book, the Every Day Guy goes after the Untouchables. It is a story that every one of us loves to get into. A story where we root for the characters to defeat the undefeated. The mystery in this book is a compelling one, and Patterson and de Jonge bring us around to a conclusion that leaves the reader satisfied.
This was a fast, entertaining, easy read. If you are a James Patterson fan, I would recommend it.
Happy Reading!
