Book Review By Sharon Maupin
Honeymoon by James Patterson & Howard Roughan

“All is not what it seems to be.” Nora is the beautiful girlfriend of a wealthy businessman, the widow of a top cardiologist and the secret wife of a famous writer.

She is also one of the top Interior decorators in the northeast, United States and she hates men. They wind up dead. Her secret hatred comes from the murder of her father, which she had witnessed at the tender age of 6 years old, committed by her mother.

John O'Harah aka Craig Reynold “The Insurance Man”, is not whom he seems to be and the plot gets sticky when he becomes involved with Nora Sinclair and her transfer of large sums of money from those men who got in her way. Involved in the scheme of things is the FBI and the lack of an arrest.
