When seven murder victims are found in a small town, the homicide investigation shakes a small-town sheriff to her core in James Patterson's tense thriller.

Once a luxurious southern getaway on a rustic lake, then reduced to a dilapidated crash pad, the Summer House is now the grisly scene of a nighttime mass murder. Eyewitnesses point to four Army Rangers—known as the Night Ninjas—recently returned from Afghanistan.

To ensure that justice is done, the Army sends Major Jeremiah Cook, a veteran and former NYPD cop, to investigate. But the major and his elite team arrive in sweltering Georgia with no idea their grim jobs will be made exponentially more challenging by local law enforcement, who resists the Army's intrusion and stonewall them at every turn. 

As Cook and his squad struggle to uncover the truth behind the condemning evidence, the pieces just won't fit—and forces are rallying to make certain damning secrets die alongside the victims in the murder house. With his own people in the cross-hairs, Cook takes a desperate gamble to find answers—even if it means returning to a hell of his own worst nightmares . . .

Title: Picked randomly but assuredly
Review: One cannot go wrong with a Patterson novel. Even though he grinds them out regularly they are readable and entertaining. This one held some mystery too.

Title: A simple read, a simple story
Review: The Summer House by James PattersonThis book was what I would consider a generic version of James Patterson story telling. The story line moved quickly, the characters all held their own and I enjoyed the chapters being broken up into small clips which helped the book flow.There were characters that were strong enough that they could be used in a followup novel. It was an enjoyable and simple book that held me to the finish, wanting to know how it would all conclude.The one thing I found unnecessary was the repeated use of God's name in vain. It wasn't needed in order to carry the bad guy image storyline. I am uncertain why writers use this to emphasize subject matter, you would think they could come up with hundreds of alternative words aside from his and damn togetherIt is an okay novel that I would probably read again. Patterson is a great writer and it is hard to go wrong, this is just not one of his five star award winners

Title: Great read
Review: A real page turner. I enjoyed all the twists and turns. Also, a good conclusion which wrapped up all the loose ends. The characters are described like you have known them from somewhere. Looking forward to "A Hard kill".

Title: Great plot
Review: I really enjoyed the mixture of the south and the military. It made the story different from too many others. Also lots of action which is always good and interesting characters. I would have enjoyed a few more details about the main characters to fill them out more. Fun read.

Review: I purchased this book in Kindle format. I never got to read it because it locked up the Kindle for PC app when I (repeatedly) tried to open it. Sadly I had to request a refund.

Review: Aside from the sometimes "corny" dialog, a good story and read. At one point I was thinking, "How's this gonna be 600+ pages" (on my tablet's Kindle app); there's got to be some "twists and turns" ahead?! There was and I wasn't disappointed!
