About this ebook
Detective Jenna Murphy comes to the Hamptons to solve a murder—but what she finds is more deadly than she could ever imagine in this thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author.
Trying to escape her troubled past and rehabilitate a career on the rocks, former New York City cop Jenna Murphy hardly expects her lush and wealthy surroundings to be a hotbed of grisly depravity. But when a Hollywood power broker and his mistress are found dead in the abandoned Murder House, the gruesome crime scene rivals anything Jenna experienced in Manhattan. And what at first seems like an open and shut case turns out to have as many shocking secrets as the Murder House itself, as Jenna quickly realizes that the mansion's history is much darker than even the town's most salacious gossips could have imagined.
As more bodies surface, and the secret that Jenna has tried desperately to escape closes in on her, she must risk her own life to expose the truth-before the Murder House claims another victim.
Full of the twists and turns that have made James Patterson the world's #1 bestselling writer, The Murder House is a chilling, page-turning story of murder, money, and revenge.

I was so excited to read this because I heard such great things about it. Now I'm wondering why. It was just okay, could've put it down and not finished it and been perfectly content but I paid for it so I finished it.

I've read all of the Women's Murder Club and Alex Cross books and LOVE them. Since this wasn't a series book, I wasn't sure I'd like it as much but wow, it kept me wondering right up until the end. I love this author and cannot wait to read even more of his work!

It's not as suspenseful as some of the other books by this author. It didn't hold my attention to read the book all the way through at one sitting.
