Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Anyone who has missed good suspense novels should put Honeymoon on their list straight away. James Patterson has always been fascinated by serial killers, yet he has tended in the past to stick with the boys; in Nora Sinclair, he and Howard Roughan create a classic Black Widow, who kills her suitors and husbands for their wealth. John O'Hara knows most of the truth about Nora, but until his investigations get close to her, he has no idea of just how much charisma and appeal she brings to the job of murder. And Nora, thinking him just an insurance agent, is surprised by how much she thinks about him, and not necessarily as a future victim. There is a quirky romance here, full of lies and deceit and also genuine feeling and a sense of menacing jeopardy for both viewpoint characters. The story-telling is Patterson's usual fast-paced staccato narration, but it has time for some interesting side-bar issues--there are things in both Nora and John's pasts and presents which only gradually come to our attention. --Roz Kaveney.

Format:Paperback
Maybe at times the plot is not 100% credible, but one thing is sure: this book is full of unexpected twists and a degree of mystery and suspense that will make you not want to put it down until you finished it. If you love detective stories, this is one you must read.
One thing I find annoying in some novels is the overwhelming amount of characters and the confusing way they are introduced into the story.
Often I had to slide a sheet of paper in the book and write down who is who, in order to keep track of the characters as the story evolved.
Not with this one here…with a limited amount of characters, the author manages to keep it exciting, surprising and accessible to all. A must!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
HONEYMOON is wonderful, it is great, it is griping. Having read James Patterson's earlier books before reading his recent titles such as London Bridges, I was beginning to get the impression that he was slipping. But Honeymoon dispelled that encroaching feeling. And now, I can look forward to his other titles with my earlier anticipation. This amazing thriller about a woman who murders her husband, then gets married and murders the other husband and later a fiancé, meets the standard James Patterson had created through his earlier works. The novel's characters are poignant but entertaining. And with the shortness of the chapters, the novel maintains the fast pace that makes all good stories page turners and books that are hard to set aside even for a short while. The details are plentiful.
With the rising number of black widows in our society, this book pierces the mindset of this growing phenomenon. Through Nora Sinclair, James Patterson successfully created one of the most intriguing characters ever. The plot is outstanding and leaves you guessing and wanting to know more from the opening pages of the novel until the very end. With its twists and turns, Honeymoon deserves all the credits as one of the most outstanding thrillers of the decade. Enjoy the ride with this book.Also recommended:USURPER AND OTHERS, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, THE BIG BAD WOLF, UNION MOUJIK because of the depth of the stories.

I am a huge fan of JP and love almost all of his books.
This one is no exception, there were good and bad points to it as with all books however overall i enjoyed this book from the start.
It begins with the death of a man whom we know nothing about except that he knows his killer.
The story then follows Nora Sinclair - the main character and detective 'Craig Reynolds'.
Its a story of intrigue that keeps niggleing at you to pick it up again until it is finished!
Character developement is excellent, the characters are vivid and real in your mind as you read the book.
An excellent story of a Black Widow with a thirst she cannot cure!
My only critisism of this book is the shortness of it!
Excellent must read for all thriller fans!

Have read a lot of Pattersons, but this one I was unable to put down. Read it in 3 evenings, and with a twist in the end. What more could you wish for.
