This book was only OK. I felt that the book was churned out by the Patterson Machine. Everything happened too fast, not the action but the book itself. Very limited character or story development. Just trying to get the book out. I felt hard pressed to care about the characters and felt the relationship between Jacob and Dessie was too predictable and forced. This book could have been so much better if the authors took some time to actually write a book rather than ride their reputations and write a "best seller". The story premise was great, just not executed.

It was an easy fast read and good for the beach. I finished it in 2 days. ( )

Good book, it kept me hooked until the end.


*my copy meets all the descriptions, and ISBN, but has 420 pages* ( )

Another great read by James Patterson and.......someone else. It still marvels me as to how this duo writing process happens. Anyway, I like this one better than a lot of the other co-authored books. It was interesting and refreshing (if you can call a murder book refreshing) having the novel set in another country. ( )

Book description
Europe is shocked by a series of gruesome murders in Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and Berlin. The bodies of young couples are being found in poses that refer to well known works of art. Everything indicates that the killings are the work of a group of cold-blooded, ruthless killers. The only clue the police have is a postcard sent by the perpetrators. The daughter of the American policeman Jacob Kanon is one of the victims and Kanon is determined to find the serial killers. He works with a Swedish journalist Dessie Larsson. But then she is the one who receives a new postcard ...

The Postcard Killers is a fast moving thriller in which the super-sharp narrative style of James Patterson is combined with the great social insight of Liza Marklund. A unique project, a masterful crime novel.

Alles wijst erop dat de moorden het werk zijn van een groep koelbloedige, nietsontziende moordenaars.

Hij werkt daarbij samen met een Zweedse journaliste, Dessie Larsson. Maar dan is zij degene die een nieuwe ansichtkaart ontvangt…
Partnerruil is een voortrazende thriller waarin de razendscherpe vertelstijl van James Patterson wordt gecombineerd met het grote sociale inzicht van Liza Marklund. Een uniek project, een meesterlijke misdaadroman.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316089516, Hardcover)

Paris is stunning in the summer

NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him--he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter's killer.

The killing is simply marvelous

Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim.

Wish you were here

Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm--and they think they know where the next victims will be. With relentless logic and unstoppable action, The Postcard Killers may be James Patterson's most vivid and compelling thriller yet.
