The Book:

Jenna Murphy is a detective in the Hamptons, having left Manhattan under less than ideal circumstances. Now she has returned to the place where she used to spend her summers with her family, until one year when they never returned.

Number 7 Ocean Drive is a mansion with a murderous past. Now the murders have begun again, conceding with an onset of terrible nightmares that shock Jenna awake every time she falls asleep. Could her repressed memories have some connection to the murders at Ocean Drive?

What I Liked:

This is a suspenseful read! Something is always happening, and twists and turns are always appearing to surprise the reader. This is something that Patterson is truly a master at.

The Murder House is a book that is never boring. I couldn't put it down because I had to know what happened next.

Anything I Didn't Like?

The romance felt forced, and like it came out of nowhere. It also always tends to bug me a little when the main character has what seems like everyone they come into contact with wanting them and falling in love with them.

So...?

I would definitely say to pick this one up. It has its flaws, but this is a book full of suspense that will keep you guessing.
