It reads like the Women's Murder Club with different characters. There was too much going on to get deep into any character or story.... ( )

Not bad for a first Jack Morgan book. Took me awhile to get his sidekicks and women straight, but that might be because I feel like I know the Alex Cross characters! Might have rated it higher if I had not just read "Cross My Heart!" ( )

2.5* for the book; 3* for the audiobook edition.

Not bad but not great. ( )

Another easy and quick Patterson book. The first of the Private series. I think I like the new characters enough to finish the series. ( )

This book left me confused. On the one hand it's terrible, badly written, packed with characters that blur together and incident that doesn't grip; on the other I finished it and fully expect to read the next in the series. It's a bit like watching a bad 90s cop show on TV whilst simultaneously playing Candy Crush on your phone - it passes the time in the easiest way possible but leaves you feeling a bit used. ( )
