Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in legendary East Hampton. But his job barely keeps him in paper clips. His principal clients make a living serving the rich. The billionaires and megacelebrities swarming the beaches already have lawyers on their payroll.

Then a friend of Tom's is arrested for a triple murder near a movie star's mansion. Tom knows in his gut that Dante Halleyville is innocent. Dante asks him to represent him in what could be the Trial of the Century.

Tom recruits Manhattan superlawyer Kate Costello to help. She's a tough hire, because Kate is his ex-girlfriend-but she agrees. In their search to find who really executed three locals, Tom orchestrates a series of revelations to expose the killer-and what emerges is staggering.

The final scenes of Beach Road unveil a truth that will leave readers gasping in shock.

I am totally shocked by the surprise ending of this book. I literally gasped when it was revealed. Great read and suspense. Thanks.

The way this book was written it was kind of difficult for me to follow along towards the beginning. The book got better and more suspenseful as it went on and the end was very riveting and unexpected. Another good novel by an extraordinary writer.

Interesting twist

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

I remember reading this book when it was first published in 2006, and I remembered that there was a really shocking twist at the end, but I didn't remember all the details. So I decided to read it again. I'm glad I did. I'm of two minds with this book. It had some interesting characters, but I wish that they had been more fully drawn. I enjoyed the premise of the book, the former ball player turned lawyer, never really living up to his potential, but is really charming. The young ball player who has every opportunity in front of him, but whose future hangs in the balance when he is accused of a horrific crime. The lost love, now maybe found again, the grandmother who believes in the innocence of her grandson, the "Loco" drug dealer and of course Macklin from Beach House.

But, and it's a big but, what were they thinking!!! If you're a reader you invest yourself in the characters and the story. You accept characters who are not perfect because it is part of the building of the overall story. When a writer deceives you by using your very love of books against you it is shocking. When a beloved character is killed in a book you hate it, but it is usually offset by the satisfaction of the story, the book delivers even when it wrenches incredible emotion from you. This book fell short because it didn't deliver, it deceived, it tricked, the author gave the readers no respect.

I'm a reader, I love a book that shocks me, makes me think, one where I can't figure out the killer or the ending, but the actions of the characters usually give me some inkling of what to expect. Beach Road gave no warning and did such an incredible 360 that it disrespected the reader. But of course, that's also what makes a good book.

A lot of people will enjoy this book and I understand why. Me, I feel very unsatsfied. I expected something better. Read it and you decide.

A good read but the ends twist is too much

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2006

Verified Purchase

I usually enjoy all of James Patterson's books so much. Though I enjoyed this book the end twists in a very strange way. James Patterson really knocked me over with this book. I guess I am so used to his pattern of writing. After I read this one I have a different perspective of how I may look at future books of his. When I finally got to the end and started reading the last few chapters, I felt I had to go back some pages and try to link it all together. I ended up going back almost to the beginning because I just could not understand why and how it turned like this. I just hope he does not have a strange twist with his future ALEX CROSS books. Though they may be a bit predictable, they are fun to read.

An exceptional book, one of the best I've ever read. It left me speechless and in awe of the plot. I found myself going back to chapters to see if I could figure out anything. I could not, there were no clues but it all fell in place perfectly.
