This novel I read in three days and I really enjoyed the first half of it very much. I liked the setting out on the Hamptons and the summer holiday feel. I liked finding out about the Memory Motel and its links to the Rolling Stones (I looked this up later on Wikipedia). I also enjoyed the Irish family of men and their male way of life. And the large dose of tragedy entering their lives and the way that it affected them and they became victims, and how much more they lost.
I liked the way that the family (grandfather and grandson) licked their wounds and took on the bad guys and eventually got their revenge. The writing as ever had James Patterson's light touch and moved along nicely.
The second courtroom scene was well played out but the fact that it took place at all suspended my imagination a bit too far. However, I still enjoyed this novel a lot and if the second half had been as good as the first I would have given this a higher mark.
For me 8/10.
