"No. 7 Ocean Drive is a gorgeous, multimillion-dollar beachfront estate in the Hamptons, where money and privilege know no bounds. But its beautiful gothic exterior hides a horrific past: it was the scene of a series of depraved killings that have never been solved. Neglected, empty, and rumored to be cursed, it's known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance. Detective Jenna Murphy used to consider herself a local, but she hasn't been back since she was a girl. Trying to escape her troubled past and rehabilitate a career on the rocks, the former New York City cop 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"--… (more)

good patterson action. My only issue was that the description of the house looks nothing like the cover. If they are going to use cover art that shows a house up on the bluff...then the description in the book should match!!! ( )

A fast read, a somewhat creepy standalone story. Had a bit of trouble understanding the twisty story but I got through okay. ( )

Listened to audio book which was very well produced. Had to fast forward at times because the main character's nightmares went on for a while, but the rest of the story was engagine. ( )

I don't even know if I've ever read a James Patterson book. I am a fan of cozies. But every so often a more hard boiled book is fun. This one was a page turner, and I did look forward to picking it up each time. BUT I knew who the killer was quite early on--and I solved another more "quiet" mystery in the book, as well, far too soon. I'm not necessarily clairvoyant, but I am in that 50% of people who solved The Girl on the Train way too early. I'd prefer a surprise that is created without a gimmick, but as I said, I still did look forward to reading this one. ( )
