Description

Detective Jenna Murphy comes to the Hamptons to solve a murder -- but what she finds is more deadly than she could ever imagine.
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.

    One of Patterson's best. Lots of twists and turns! Leaving you guessing (usually wrong) until the very end 😳
  • Thrilling read!

    Fast paced and suspenseful. Great character development and typical James Patterson page-turning writing style. It'll keep you guessing who did it until the very end! The only thing I can complain about is the stereotypical, off into the sunset ending. Otherwise, it was worth every dollar.

    Characters are superficial, you absolutely do not sympathize with anyone. Seems like the writers couldn't decide what kind of story it would be. Total waste of money

    It's fairly thin reading and somewhat cheesy. I'm surprised it was at the top of the New York Times list.
  • Murder House was AMAZING!!!! B

    I haven't read a novel in years and this was my random pick to get back into reading. I genuinely couldn't put it down, reading it on my iPad and iPhone any chance I had. Plenty of twists that kept me guessing to the end. Nicky done.
  • Great read!

    Book started slow, then the characters started to form. It was easy to see who the murderer was pretty early - but you were still interested in the outcome.
