Publisher's summary

Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in America's wealthiest resort town: legendary East Hampton. But his job barely keeps him in paper clips. His clients make a living serving the rich. The billionaires and celebrities swarming the beaches already have lawyers on their payroll.

Very Expensive
Then a friend of Tom's is arrested for a triple murder near a movie star's mansion. Tom knows in his gut that Dante Halleyville is innocent. Dante asks him to represent him in what could be the Trial of the Century.

Very Exclusive
Tom recruits Manhattan superlawyer Kate Costello to help. She's a tough hire, because Kate is his ex-girlfriend, but she agrees. In their search to find who really executed three locals, Tom orchestrates a series of revelations to expose the killer, and what emerges is staggering.

Very Explosive
The final scenes of this audiobook unveil a truth that will leave readers gasping in shock. Written with the precision that has made James Patterson "a master of his genre" (USA Today), Beach Road is his wildest, most thrilling novel ever.

Enjoyed BEACH ROAD

The twist ending of Beach Road was so excellent that it made this bood very memorable. The narrartors also did an excellent job. One thing to mention is there are a couple of adult scenes in the book - so listener be informed.

Hard to put down

A great "who dunnit." The plot twists are impossible to anticipate and the story has a gripping ending. At times I felt that I was listening to an abridged story; but the end result is a fascinating story that will make you glad you chose this Patterson thriller.

Beach Road

I liked this book. It was easy to listen to and too enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. Good mystery.

Keeps your attention

While this story kept my attention, wouldn’t say it was riveting. However, did have quite a surprise ending so am happy I stayed with it. Listened to story on Audible. Narration quite good and probably was another reason I stayed with story. With over 100 very short chapters it sometimes feels like you are just reading a sequence of scenes in a made-for-tv movie.

Pretty Good

The book is well written and the character development is very good.

The only knock on the story is that it's premise is a story of a young kid falsely accused. But the case against him is so weak that it totally blows the idea that ANYONE would EVER believe he committed the crime - yet everyone outside his ring of believers thinks he did it.

The readers were great - very enjoyable! Great ending and wrap up!

Overall, worth it!!

good but not great

I'm not a huge J.P. fan but this was not bad. Great in the start then a little slow but the end made up for it. Not a must buy but ok if you can find it on sale.
