As it unfolds that his brother was involved with some of the richest women and men in America – in ways Jack never imagined – his dream of justice fades. As it unfolds that his brother was involved with some of the richest women and men in America-in ways Jack never imagined-his dream of justice fades. Motivated by a hundred forms of grief, Jack rallies his hometown friends to help him find the truth of Peter’s death – no matter how rich or corrupt the people who stand in their way. I know it left me cheering along as Jack stuck it to those who had caused him and his family (among others) so much harm.

He could have well given another climax or feature for the antagonist’s characterization instead of saying he spreads HIV virus though it is required for the successful ending of the story.

With *The Beach House*, I found it to be interesting how fast you can read through a book with small chapters.

In the words of that old Irishman Benjamin Franklin, 'We must all hang together, or most assuredly, we will hang separately.There was nothing earth shattering in the story, but it was a crime thriller that had an unusual resolution to the crime. He has numerous arguments for this belief - Peter was an excellent swimmer, his corpse was covered in bruises, which were unlikely caused by the ocean waves and a competent coroner who did the autopsy confirmed that Peter didn’t drown. Anyway I was going to the beach so I thought it appropriate to take this book Beach House with me and I absolutely love James P and murder mystery books. Jack’s relentless crusade puts him into a head-on collision with one of the most powerful and ruthless men in New York, a man who wipes out resistance with a snap of his fingers. I can't believe it took me so long to read this book, I started loving to read late in life only about 2 years ago so I am very behind!
