Murder Beyond the Grave by James PattersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
this is actually 2 true crime stories.
the first story begins with a kidnapping and someone about to be buried alive.... I was hooked right there...lol
a drug dealer is busted and catches a break and gets to start life over on the straight and narrow. he quickly finds out that working a regular 9-5 is not cutting it and barley making ends met. he wants to know why do some people have to work so hard and making nothing and some people have the silver spoon.
he hatches a plan to make some money but doesn't tell his long time girlfriend what's going on.
he kidnaps a wealthy man and buries him alive for money with no intentions of harming him.
does his family pay? does the wealthy guy make it?.
the only thing I hated about this book was the girlfriend.... without spoiling it I just want to say "stupid, stupid sutupid" and I felt bad her for.....
the second story was even better.
a woman wants to renovate a camp she visited as a child. her wealthy husband and business partner is not very interested yet ends up giving into her wishes.
he stays back home with the kids to finish out the school year while she stays at the camp setting things up and running the place.
she soon starts receiving death threats . the locals want the rich bitch out.... but she is standing her ground.
after some scary run ins with local bikers her husband is convinced she needs to leave and its not safe.
the wife ends up dead and her lover boy as well....but little did they know the lover boy made it and now the search is on for the killer.
and of course plot twist.
but I can happily report I did guess the ending but was not unimpressed.
a very quick fun read
again mr. Patterson does not disappoint.
