Confessions of the Dead
By James Patterson & J. D. BarkerPublisher Description
Don't rent a summer house in Hollow's Bend this year! Patterson's scariest thrills since Death of the Black Widow.
Hollows Bend, New Hampshire, is a picture-perfect New England town where weekend tourists flock to see fall leaves and eat breakfast at the Stairway Diner. The crime rate—zero--is a point of pride for Sheriff Ellie Pritchett.
The day the stranger shows up is when the trouble starts. The sheriff and her deputy investigate the mysterious teenage girl. None of the locals can place her. She can’t—or won’t¾answer any questions. She won’t even tell them her name.
While the girl is in protective custody, the officers are called to multiple crime scenes leading them closer and closer to a lake outside of town that doesn’t appear on any map…

“I really enjoyed this story. I liked the references to Dante’s Inferno and thought the story was interesting. It was fast paced and twisty and full of action. Overall, a good story.”

“Okay, the first 3/4 of this book was really good, the first 1/2 was great, loved it! Then the last 1/4 happened.....what happened...why? I'm so glad that this was a digital download listen for free from the library. I think I would have been pretty mad if I actually purchased this book. The audiobook and readers were fantastic...the story...the end? I still don't know what happened... it seems like a King type book in a Patterson's body. Better luck next time.”
