Synopsis

After a lavish night of guilty pleasures in Monte Carlo, four best friends face an awful morning of arrests -- and a fight for survival.
Guilty Wives: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
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.
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

This book made me laugh. Probably not in the way JP intended, either. I was laughing at how ridiculous the beginning of this book was...but then it got okay.

Goodreads review by Nur on April 10, 2012

Have always love James Patterson's works! I know I have to get this book after I read the preview. I WISH THEY MADE THIS INTO A MOVIE, SERIOUSLY! I mean, it was really an awesome page turner as I finished it within a night, mind you! That's the thing about crime/thriller books. You just can't put it......more

Goodreads review by Racheal on April 07, 2012

Not at all like any James Patterson book I have read before. A girls weekend away goes terribly wrong and these ladies end up in a horrific French prison...two of them for life. Abbie is intelligent, and despite her incarceration and constant abuse, she figures out how her night of fun and passion g......more

Always a fan of James Patterson, I found this stand-alone to be a notch above what I've come to adore and expect from Mr. Patterson. Excellent twists and turns with a phenomenally badass heroine. Spectacular!......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on March 17, 2014

I have read most or all of James Patterson's books. Compared to the others, this one was so-so. The plot was about as absurd as it gets. Four women go off on a girl's vacation, which is really a thinly disguised vacation to let loose and swing with the best. Of course, most are fabulously wealthy, s......more
