Patterson, James, and Peter De Jonge. Beach Road. London: Headline Book Publishing, 2002.
Dee Brizzolara inspired me to read "Beach Road", and it was as good as he said. He told me that it was going to be a suspenseful, but easy read, and I definitely thought the same thing. I really liked the basketball part of the novel, because I am a big sports fan, so that helped me focus on the reading. Dee did a great job with his blog about the novel, because his assessment was 100% accurate.
I enjoyed most of the book, but the one thing that I did not enjoy was the ending. The outcome of the case was so unpredictable and outrageous that it really let me down. The book was totally believable until the outcome of the courtcase, where NBA prospect Dante Halleyville is acquited of murdering 4 other players. I enjoyed every aspect of the book until the very end, which was very dissapointing
