This was an audiobook, typical Patterson type material. True crime buffs will enjoy. There are three stories, somewhat interesting. However the third one ended abruptly not really getting the point of it.
This is actually 2 murder stories in one book, with a preview of Red Alert at the end.
Murder Beyond the Grave begins with a kidnapping and a burial alive.
Murder in Paradise is the story of a woman who wants to renovate a camp that she visited as a child, but her husband isn't interested, yet gives into her wishes. She ends up dead.
Both of these stories based on real-life events are quick reads of a crime that happened, and the quest to find and prosecute the killer. As James Patterson says, "The bad guy always gets caught."

Excelłenr! Not sure you can go too terribly wrong with a story based on facts without totally changing the facts. Well done
Great true crime. Stories move fast!
