Narration Toward Books The Quickie
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.

3.75A quickie fast read that I enjoyed back in 2007 but never reviewed. I remember I liked it a great deal. It grabs your attention at the onset and held mine throughout. Lauren Stillwell is a NYC cop who thinks her husband is having an affair and may have killed his lover. When the body shows up shes assigned the case but is now wondering if in fact her husband did it and if he did, if she can turn him in. A fast paced read with twists I didnt see coming. I like Pattersons short chapters makingJames Patterson and I have an iffy relationship. Sometimes I love him, sometimes not so much, and sometimes the book was just fine. And this book was fine. I had to stop reading Alex Cross, Michael Bennett and the Womans Murder Club Bc only so many I can take. But once and awhile, I will pick up a random book from him. This one was better than others. The book constantly had twists. The pace was fast. The characters didnt have depth, but that was not needed here. Most Patterson fans would
2/19/08 - I got this in the mail today as part of a bookray from the other online bookclub that I'm a member of. I will be putting the remaining 3 books of The Bridesmaid Chronicles on hold until I read this one!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2/21/08 - WOW...this has been one of the best mystery/thriller book that I've read in a long time! I didn't put the book down much, as I've read this in 3 days! It was a real page-turner that I just kept being shocked about the
Lauren thinks her husband is cheating and so she takes her revenge by having a one-night stand with a workmate cop. But then she watches through a window as her husband beats her lover.... who is later found shot dead.Lauren is assigned as the detective to the case and tries her best to cover everything up. And so starts a fanciful, fast past read which is kind of like a "Days of our Lives" episode so if you like that kind of thing, this is perfect. There were lots of twists and hidden secrets
This was one of my least favorite book by James Patterson. I felt as though he hurried through this book while writing it. Instead of developing the plot, he just added another crisis. Instead of creating suspense and action, it felt choppy and exhausting. The heroine in this book annoyed me too. She was constantly in a state of panic and Patterson's use of italics got old. I was not impressed with the main character's thought patterns as she worked her way through each crisis. The dialog seemed
The Quickie is written in very short chapters so it made it a fast read. I got hooked in the first part of the book but then became a little bored when covering up became a little too effortless for the protagonist. Towards the end of the book a new twist was introduced but was not really developed and left you really struggling to put it all together. It was as if Patterson came up with another plot at the end of the novel and tried to incorporate it into the existing murder mystery. For me
