1) Paperback Book The Quickie by Grand Central Publishing. Boring, no "who dunnit", too neat and put together. A problem arises, and quickly and easily fixed. I had to finish this book hoping there would be something at the end to put it all together proving I was wrong, that there really was a bigger story, but no, just a dumb book. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Waste of time.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Quickie by Grand Central Publishing. Lauren is a character that you can´t help but identify with. Through the scituations she is faced with we can only imagine how we would react. Although as usual nothing goes as expected, Patterson delivers his usual quick & quite enjoyable read. The twists and turns will keep you reading his bite size chapters late into the night.¤ 3) Paperback Book The Quickie by Grand Central Publishing. As I love Law and Order the TV Show I somewhat liked this books because the concept goes very much the same as an episode. However, I got tired of all the "and then" moments where you find something else about the plot or the characters. Utterly unbelievable. On the plus side it does give you two stories for the price of one. It´s a rapid paced book, otherwise I don´t think I´d have finished it.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Quickie by Grand Central Publishing. Look, nearly every novel presents an implausible plot point or few. But enjoying this one requires you not just to suspend disbelief--you must bludgeon it to death.¤ 5) Paperback Book The Quickie by Grand Central Publishing. James Patterson has done it again.. Can this man write ANYTHING bad? I think not. The Quickie is a very fast read as well as it should be, because when you start a Patterson novel, you do not want to put it down.
Bare bones is what I call it and the plot could have been ripped from today´s newspaper headlines. Totally engrossing and extremely well written, as are most of his books. The only bad part of the book is that it ends!¤ 6) Paperback Book The Quickie by Grand Central Publishing. When Lauren Stillwell discovers her husband leaving a hotel room with another woman, she decides to beat him at his own game. But while she´s sneaking around, her husband is hatching a plan of his own. After a torrid quickie with a co-worker, Lauren hears a struggle outside her window and looks out just in time to see her husband loading her lover´s limp body into the trunk of a car. When the body shows up in a pool of shallow water, she races to the scene of the crime. But Lauren Stillwell is no regular wronged woman. She´s a NYC cop--and she´s just been assigned to this case. Unable to tell anyone what she saw and unwilling to turn her husband in, Lauren is paralyzed by a secret that will tear her life apart. But as she attempts to point fingers away from her husband, she uncovers something shocking: her husband didn´t have an affair--what he did was far worse than she could have ever imagined. A gripping story of secrets and infidelities that begins where Adrian Lyne´s movie Unfaithful leaves off, THE QUICKIE will have readers´ hearts pounding to the very last page.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
