I didn't enjoy the story line that well. It was something I had a hard time relating to. The female characters were unbelievable and the voice of the male characters did not ring true.

This is one of my favorite books. I have given it to several of my family and friends as gifts throughout the years and they all responded how much they loved it! The characters draw you into the story so soon you feel like you know each personally. A great story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

A great read by Demille. The Upper class Gold Coast of Long Island, A wall street Jopurnal man and his new neighbor get involved in the most amazing ways. From crime to humour, this book has it all. Friendship,suduction,love, and betrayal. The author is so witty at times I laughed out loud.

Another good book from DeMille. Quick read and good character development. Coming from the Gold Coast area, it brought back lots of memories.

I loved this book. The characters are fascinating. Interesting historical info about Long Island. Mr. Demille's descriptions are concise but easy to picture in my mind. I would love to see this book made into a movie.

Read all of Nelson DeMille's book (except The Gatehouse). Gold Coast and Plum Island are two of my favorites. He intertwines fact with fiction and moves the story along. Gold Coast takes you into a world of Upper Class WASP's and the dangerous world of the mob.

This book is written from the author's view and sometimes makes you laugh right out loud. Be sure to follow up with THE GATE HOUSE.

Takes place on the fabled Gold Coast, that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Story is of a Wall Street lawyer and a Mafia don who draws him into his violent world. Excellent and fascinating!

Gold Coast: one of DeMille's best. A very tight, fast paced murder mystery that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
