Another enjoyable episode in the Michael Bennett series. I think I am starting to like him even more than Alex Cross! As usual in a Patterson book the action is continuous and frequently way over the top but it makes for a great read. There is the usual high body count, a crazy serial killer and a bo Leggi tutto

I seriously love this Michael Bennett series. I dare even say more than I did the Woman’s Murder Club series. Bennett is a completely likable character and is easily endearing to readers. His love life is very odd right now but that just adds to the ongoing story. The plot was so engrossing that I c Leggi tutto

I am slightly embarrassed to admit every time I read a James Patterson novel. I don't have any delusions that he's that great of a writer... or, for that matter, that he's even writing this stuff anymore. In fact, when I say I'm a fan of Patterson's Michael Bennett series, I should just edit that to Leggi tutto

Mind turning and full of religion. This story pulls Ash Wednesday into the plot and it’s an adventurous ride from start to finish. Detective Bennett never quits and uses all his skills to resolve the case. Francis Mooney is determined to alert the public about how the world is going to the garbage b Leggi tutto

James Patterson is one of my favorite authors, particularly when it comes to mystery & crime books. I am somewhat opposed to the whole "co-writing with other authors". I decided to research the reason for "co-writing" - I found this: "In September 2009, Patterson signed a book deal to write or co-wri Leggi tutto

Patterson's and Ledwidge's Worst Case tells a tale of Michael Bennett, a veteran cop, as he pursues a serial kidnapper/murderer who targets the children of the super-rich.
