Second Honeymoon

By: James Patterson, Howard Roughan

Narrated by: Jay Snyder, Ellen Archer

In this dazzling thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author, two secret agents hunt down a serial killer targeting honeymoon couples in Rome.

A newlywed couple steps into the sauna in their deluxe honeymoon suite-and never steps out again. When another couple is killed while boarding their honeymoon flight to Rome, it becomes clear that someone is targeting honeymooners, and it's anyone's guess which happy couple is next on the list. FBI Agent John O'Hara is deep into solving the case, while Special Agent Sarah Brubaker is hunting another ingenious serial killer, whose victims all have one chilling thing in common.

As wedding hysteria rises to a frightening new level, John and Sarah work ever more closely together in a frantic attempt to decipher the logic behind two rampages. From "The Man Who Can't Miss," Second Honeymoon is the most mesmerizing, most exciting, and most surprising thriller ever (Time).

Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR HONEYMOON:

Fun ride, good twists

How many different crime fighter stories can there be where multiple factors collide in a believable way? Well, now there is one more and it's a good one. As soon as the story began I was invested and interested to see how the different stories were going to collide. The story did not disappoint. It was creative, with some great twists.

The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the male narrator, Jay Snyder. The female wasn't great either, but it felt like she got better as the story went on and she became nicely invisible. Snyder though was overly dramatic to the point of making the listen less enjoyable. There were several moments when I thought, "oh, that was lame" and at first thought it was badly written, then I realized that if those moments hadn't been read by someone who was massively overacting, they might have been funny and endearing, instead, they came across as just bad.

There is also quite a bit of dramatic music and some sound effects like footsteps which were really jarring at first. I have never listened to a book on Audible that included those. I got used to them, and while I don't think they added to the story, for me, they weren't a negative.

This is a light summer listen. There are a lot of those out there, but this one is smart, fun, and worthy of investing the time. I recommend.

Not my cup of tea

Didn’t care for the dueling plots . No twists, very little build up if there was one . very two dimensional .

Great Story!

Another great story from James Patterson. I loved the two stories and how he wove them together. My only complaint is the different voices of narrators. I prefer to just stick with 1 story teller. A little distracting, but certainly doesn't ruin the book.
