Editorial Review:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille delivers the long-awaited follow-up to his classic novel The Gold Coast. When John Sutter's aristocratic wife killed her mafia don lover, John left America and set out in his sailboat on a three-year journey around the world, eventually settling in London. Now, ten years later, he has come home to the Gold Coast, that stretch of land on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America, to attend the imminent funeral of an old family servant. Taking up temporary residence in the gatehouse of Stanhope Hall, John finds himself living only a quarter of a mile from Susan who has also returned to Long Island. But Susan isn't the only person from John's past who has reemerged: Though Frank Bellarosa, infamous Mafia don and Susan's ex-lover, is long dead, his son, Anthony, is alive and well, and intent on two missions: Drawing John back into the violent world of the Bellarosa family, and exacting revenge on his father's murderer--Susan Sutter. At the same time, John and Susan's mutual attraction resurfaces and old passions begin to reignite, and John finds himself pulled deeper into a familiar web of seduction and betrayal. In THE GATE HOUSE, acclaimed author Nelson Demille brings us back to that fabled spot on the North Shore -- a place where past, present, and future collides with often unexpected results.

Gatehouse by Nelson Demille All I needed to know before buying his book was that Nelson Demille wrote it. No one will be disaappointed. I haven't finished the novel, but the typically brilliant wit of Demille is certainly needed during the difficult times our country is experiencing.
Sorely Disappointing First, Nelson DeMille is my favorite author. I cannot believe I am writing a one-star review, but "The Gate House" was not even close to his other work. I agree with most of what other one-star reviewers had to say, but I'd like to add this: Susan Sutter was completely unsympathetic, and I did not like her at all. I found it hard to believe that John was suddenly madly in love with her again. I thought he was pretending. The only time I was reminded he loved her was when he was telling us that he was.... more info
rehash of a rehash of a rehash... The first half of this book rehashes a previous book, and the second half of this book rehashes the first half of this book. I REALLY hate that. Not a lot happens, and the whole story is bland. I gave it an extra star, because some of the humor was clever.
Where is Scott Brick ? Nelson, what happened to Scott Brick reading your works?
Shame on you! This new guy is very disapointing!
