But when an innocent man is framed for murder, she knows that she can’t let him pay for the real killer’s crimes.
The perfect lie Nina’s secret life began 18 years ago. She had looks to die for, a handsome police-officer husband, and a carefree life in Key West. When she learned she was pregnant with their first child, her happiness was almost overwhelming. But Nina’s world is shattered when she unearths a terrible secret that causes her to run for her life and change her identity.
The perfect way to die Now, years later, Nina risks everything she’s earned to return to Florida and confront the murderous evil she fled. In a story of wrenching suspense, James Patterson gives us his most head-spinning, action-filled story yet–a Hitchcock-like blend of unquenchable drama and pleasure.❞ (end of description)
MY RATING: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
REVIEW
This is a fast-paced thriller with the recurring elements that characterize James Patterson’s books: plot driven, poor characterization, ghostwritten, and predictable. I expected to dislike it but it found it entertaining. Most likely because a large portion of the story takes place in Key West and the events took place at locations I am familiar with.
I had to read this book for my book club meeting and if any of my book club friends are reading this know that despite my initial reluctance I read it, and read it for you.
Overall it was ok. I know a lot of people that love James Patterson’s books so I recommend it to those who are fans of his work.
