About this ebook

An affair spirals out of control, a detective investigates four mysterious disappearances, and a mysterious message from space leads to a manhunt in these three electrifying thrillers from the world's #1 bestselling writer.
The House Next Door (with Susan DiLallo): Married mother of three Laura Sherman was thrilled when her new neighbor invited her on some errands. But a few quick tasks became a long lunch -- and now things could go too far with a man who isn't what he seems . . .
The Killer's Wife (with Max DiLallo): Four girls have gone missing. Detective McGrath knows the only way to find them is to get close to the suspect's wife . . . maybe too close.
We. Are. Not. Alone. (with Tim Arnold): The first message from space will change the world. It's first contact: undeniable proof of alien life. Disgraced Air Force scientist Robert Barnett found it. Now he's the target of a desperate nationwide manhunt -- and Earth's future hangs in the balance.

Ratings and reviews

idiotic.why any one spends money on his garbage booksthese days boggles the mind.horrible writing as bad as those yenta wanna be femake writers .as a female,I got to say the mystery genre has been sukinh from them.and him.laura is an idiot too bad she didn't end up in jail nd kids tskin awayblaming everyone for her stupidity.The 2nd story is just as idiotic and hideously written a 9 year old can write better and more interestingly .I read a pompous article by Patterson in his no d he tho is he's stikl.such a creative talent both him andhis publisher are greedy no talent .I say focus on your foundation and quit trying to get people to buy your garbage

The first two stories were awful. The 3rd was the only entertaining one. I have to wonder why Mr. Patterson needs help writing such simplistic, boring literature. Don't get me wrong. I have read everything he writes I just find there are more duds than not.
