Title: Oh Mr. Patterson! WHAT HAPPENED?!
Review: ABYSMAL! "Beach House" was a slow-moving, transparent book with precious little character development. The men of the Mullen family are unlikeable. Apparently one of them's been up to no good because he gets murdered. His brother and grandfather attempt to prove he wasn't a victim of accidental drowning.Of course, Brother Jack Mullen has been sleeping with Dana, scion of only THE wealthiest and most powerful family in East Hampton (the Mullens are lower-middle-class townies). See where this is going? Boredomville. Dana is a phony. Her parents are behind the murder. Bad rich people. Virtuous poor folk. Sickeningly predictable.Mr. Patterson, you write far better fiction when left to your own devices. I anxiously await your next Alex Cross novel.
