I am happy that James Patterson has found another interesting detective to form a series around. The plot was fast-paced and interesting. ( )

The second Michael Bennett book has a lot of buzz going around about the new Patterson series and detective. This time around Bennett’s whole family becomes ill with a flu and he is forced by the city to investigate a series of strange killings at high profile businesses. Just when Michael thinks he knows what is going on, the killer throws a curve ball and changes the course of Michael’s life forever.

I really enjoyed this second in series book. I think Patterson has created another great character and family life that will continue to grow much as the Alex Cross series has. This story left a lot of intrigue and confusion as much mystery novels do, drawing the reader in to the life of Michael Bennett. It was suspenseful and a very good read. Can’t wait to find out what Patterson has up his sleeve for the next one.

A calculating killer who calls himself The Teacher is taking on New York City, killing the powerful and the arrogant. His message is clear: remember your manners or suffer the consequences! For some, it seems that the rich are finally getting what they deserve. For New York's elite, it is a call to terror.

Only one man can tackle such a high-profile case: Detective Mike Bennett. The pressure is enough for anyone, but Mike also has to care for his 10 children-all of whom have come down with virulent flu at once! ( )

Come on....a widower detective with ten adopted children under 15! Most of them vomitting with 'flu, but hey, there's a killer on the loose and Mike is the only manly man enough to deal with it. Entertaining suspenseful read, but reality is totally suspended. ( )

This was a fast-paced story, but required such a leap of faith to gloss over the gaping plot holes and implausibility, that it really detracted from the book for me. If you liked the last several James Patterson novels, you'll enjoy this book more than I did; on the other hand, if his writing seems to sacrifice common sense for thrills and overblown language and poorly-developed characters, you'll wish he'd spent more time crafting this one instead of spewing it out.

A calculating killer who calls himself The Teacher is taking on New York City, killing the powerful and the arrogant. His message is clear: remember your manners or suffer the consequences! For some, it seems that the rich are finally getting what they deserve. For New York's elite, it is a call to terror.

Only one man can tackle such a high-profile case: Detective Mike Bennett. The pressure is enough for anyone, but Mike also has to care for his 10 children-all of whom have come down with virulent flu at once!

Discovering a secret pattern in The Teacher's lessons, Detective Bennett realizes he has just hours to save New York from the greatest disaster in its history. From the #1 bestselling author comes BE AFRAID, the continuation of his newest, electrifying series.
