Product Description
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.

 At least it's a short read August 17, 2008
As I love Law and Order the TV Show I somewhat liked this books because the concept goes very much the same as an episode. However, I got tired of all the "and then" moments where you find something else about the plot or the characters. Utterly unbelievable. On the plus side it does give you two stories for the price of one. It's a rapid paced book, otherwise I don't think I'd have finished it.
 Implausibly implausible August 16, 2008
Look, nearly every novel presents an implausible plot point or few. But enjoying this one requires you not just to suspend disbelief--you must bludgeon it to death.
 James Patterson at his Best/The Quickie August 12, 2008
James Patterson has done it again.. Can this man write ANYTHING bad? I think not. The Quickie is a very fast read as well as it should be, because when you start a Patterson novel, you do not want to put it down.
Bare bones is what I call it and the plot could have been ripped from today's newspaper headlines. Totally engrossing and extremely well written, as are most of his books. The only bad part of the book is that it ends!
Good Read August 8, 2008
I was sceptic about this book since it was yet another joint venture of Pattersons w/ Ledwidge. I prefer James Patterson alone, however, the title just caught my eye and I thought it might be a fun read. OMG, I could not put this book down. It has just about every twist and turn that is thinkable and then some. You will not be dissappointed w/this book. I was actually sorry I got to the end so quickly.
Great read August 8, 2008
There are so many twists and turns in this story that it literally keeps you on the edge of your seat!
