SECOND HONEYMOON By James Patterson w/Howard Roughan (Little, Brown $28)

br

A honeymooning couple decides on a sauna in their elegant suite in the Caribbean, till it gets too hot and they find themselves locked in. Suspended FBI agent, John O’Hara, is offered an exorbitant fee to fly to the Caribbean and investigate their deaths and find the killer. Soon, another couple on their honeymoon is killed and, as they say, “the plot thickens.” That’s not O’Hara’s only problem as some serial killer is bumping off men named John O’Hara and he is on the list. As usual, Patterson’s intriguing plots in short chapters keeps the pages turning.
