Summary

No. 7 Ocean Drive is a multimillion-dollar beachfront house in the Hamptons, but its beautiful exterior hides a horrific past. This house was the setting for a series of depraved killings that have never been solved.

Neglected, empty and rumoured to be cursed, it's known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance.

Detective Jenna Murphy has moved to the area to escape her troubled past and rehabilitate a career on the rocks. But when a Hollywood power broker and his mistress are found dead in the abandoned Murder House, Jenna becomes involved in a case that at first seems open and shut, but reveals more secrets than she could possibly imagine.

As more bodies surface and Jenna is drawn deeper into the dark history of No. 7, she must risk her own life to expose the truth - before the Murder House claims another victim.

Brilliant

What made the experience of listening to Murder House the most enjoyable?

Brilliant book, James Patterson kept me guessing right to the end, I kept swapping around to who I thought did it and what the ending would be! I almost burnt the dinner because I wanted to listen to the end. I have to be honest I do fast forward the really gruesome bits but don't feel I miss out on the plot.

Any additional comments?

I used to read JP booked all time until Swimsuit which I found too gruesome it put me off reading any other of JP's books but now I have found the audio versions it is great you just ff any bits you don't want to listen to. Murder House exceeded my expectations.

A Good Story, But ...

I really was excited to download this story from Audible. I’m a huge fan of several of James Patterson’s books and I find his stories absorbing.
I enjoyed the story very much but there is one minor detail that I know is fussy but I just can’t get over, the female character repeats the phrase “I say” after almost every sentence she speaks. I know it’s a small issue but after investing over eight hours into listening to this story, by the end I was half mad with hearing it. To the point where it irritated me so much that it lessened the impact of the finale.

The story itself was absolutely brilliant and I loved the twists and turns but it just goes to prove that if one little thing (in this case so small it’s embarrassing) annoys you and distracts your attention then all the enjoyment gets sucked out of it. I’ll return to my standard favourites of Patterson’s, First To Die, Violets Are Blue and Honeymoon.

Sadly, this book will be returned to audible as I know I can’t bare to listen to it again.

Don't be put off by the initial male narrative

The initial male voice along with over the top dramatic music almost made me ditch this one. Glad I stayed with it though, the music is only for a couple of moments during the introduction and while I still really couldn't take to the male narrator he doesn't play a massive part and the female one is excellent. The story itself is good, although I guessed the twist it didn't ruin it for me. Overall I would recommend.

Excellent!

Would you listen to Murder House again? Why?

Yes I would, and I probably will one day. Excellent story, wonderful narration.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Murder House?

It is hard to point out just one.

Have you listened to any of Jay Snyder and Therese Plummer ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I never listened to any of Jay Snyder and Therese Plummer performance before, but I would really love to in the future. My favorite is Jay Snyder now. I love him so much I will listen to books I have never heard of just because he is reading them to me. Therese Plummer - I really like her narration as well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes! I finished it in two days.

Slow at first but then had me gripped

Little slow and jumpy at start but once characters are set and founded it becomes quite a gripping book. Another success from my favourite author and his co-writers.
