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.

- Amazing twists!!!!
This is a great book. its intense at first, then its slows down but it picks right up.
but it is awesome, there are so many unexpected ( i didnt expect them at least)twists and when you think you got it figured out, you dont.
i really recommend it to anyone who likes mystery or has ever thought about a quickie. lol

- Implausible Plot
Once again, James Patterson and his cohorts disappoints. Why do I keep returning for more torture? Because, I remember the great Patterson books Alex Cross series, and The Women's Murder Club books.

In THE QUICKIE, the plot sounded like a fun read......

Lauren, a Homicide Detective decides to surprise her hubby for lunch, and discovers he's fooling around with someone else. Lauren gets even by having an affair herself.

Once the story got going the plot was so far-fetched, it was laughable. The only saving grace was that the reader of this audio book, Mary Stuart Masterson, did a great job reading the ridiculous story, and I hung on until the end. Why? I'm not sure.

BORROW this one.

- Love James Patterson!
I always look forward to reading the next James Patterson book, and this one certainly did not dissapoint me...it was wonderful, suspense filled, and kept me turning pages! I finished it in less than a day...and it left me now to wait for his next one...Keep em coming!

- Not a "quickie" to read, first half of book a chore to get through
Disappointed, only stuck with first half of story because author usually is so good, in my opinion. Had to push to read until second half or so, then pace, interest and prose picked up to what I expect from this author.

Almost seemed like two different authors wrote two separate sections of book!!!
