Publisher's summary

After a lavish night of guilty pleasures in Monte Carlo, four best friends face an awful morning of arrests - and a fight for survival.

Only minutes after Abbie Elliot and her three best friends step off of a private helicopter, they enter the most luxurious, sumptuous, sensually pampering hotel they have ever been to. Their lavish presidential suite overlooks Monte Carlo, and they surrender: to the sun and pool, to the sashimi and sake, to the Bruno Paillard champagne. As the weekend moves into pulsating discos, high-stakes casinos, and beyond, Abbie is transported to the greatest pleasure and release she has ever known.

In the morning's harsh light, Abbie awakens on a yacht, surrounded by police. Something awful has happened: something impossible, unthinkable. Abbie, Winnie, Serena, and Bryah are arrested and accused of the foulest crime imaginable. And now the vacation of a lifetime becomes the fight of a lifetime - a fight for survival.

Guilty Wives is the ultimate indulgence, the kind of nonstop joy-ride of excess, friendship, betrayal, and danger that only James Patterson can create.

Solid Attempt

The story had a great premise. The readers overwrought attempt at ascents was mildly annoying but you get used to it. The overly done girly girl method of narrating the Monte Carlo section was almost enough to get a refund for a poor product. stuck it out and James Patterson finally came out of his own way.

Fabulous - Patterson's (along with Ellis) best!!

This was THE best Patterson novel I have read - so many twists and turns - really pulls you into the story. I would sit in my garage because I didn't want to turn my car engine off to listen to the story - AMAZING - I want more!!!

Loved it!

Made my time in traffic go by so fast. I didn't want to stop listening. I couldn't wait to hear the next chapter

This book really keeps your interest.

What did you love best about Guilty Wives?

Kept me engaged and in suspense.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes

What does January LaVoy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She was a great narrator. Accents were wonderful.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really, the book just kept in in suspense.

Interesting but predictable

Abby is in jail and Winnie is murdered in the opening. There are no more surprises in the plot. We pretty much know "who done it" in the first few chapters. The characters and the way the story unfolds is good though. It is well worth a listen.

Interesting but Still Just Okay

Would you try another book from James Patterson and David Ellis and/or January LaVoy?

Definitely James Patterson and any other co writer

Who was your favorite character and why?

All the crazy husbands. They were full of jealousy.

What does January LaVoy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Not sure.

Could you see Guilty Wives being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes. I would see the movie but not watch a tv series.
