Typical recent Patterson thriller, This review is from: Private (Hardcover)
This novel provides exactly what fans of James Patterson have come to expect from his recent (co-authored) novels. It's a quick and easy read -- nothing deep or thought-provoking here. It provides enough intrigue to be called a thriller and though short on suspense, the narrative moves along smoothly juggling a couple of different plot lines: the unsolved murders of at least thirteen school girls and two other concurrent investigations -- a football gambling scandal and the killing of his best friend's wife. Jack Morgan runs a private investigative firm with several associates; they operate a bit outside of the law and have unlimited resources and contacts to help the team achieve the necessary results by whatever means necessary.
If you're looking for a mindless thriller, this might just fit your requirements and if you're a Patterson fan, you won't want to miss this one and you won't have any lingering effects or nightmares after you've turned the last page.
I broke my addiction to getting his books, although I still tend to read the women's murder club. I was surprised to see that he got a 3 from you...can't be that bad.
ReplyDeleteI am getting more lenient in my old age -- it was OK but nothing remarkable. I read it cause I had it!! I totally know what you mean though I still read him. I have the Postcard Killer coming soon too.
