the usual suspense from Patterson kept it moving! Didn't feel the robust characters as much ( )

It isn't possible for a book to be bad if James Patterson is the author, or one of the authors. ( )

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. 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.

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.

James Patterson draws the reader immediately into each book. Of course, Patterson's style of writing follows an example format that compels the reader deeper into the story. The action and language gather momentum that forces the reader to gobble up the pages. Patterson's book center on action, not on analysis. I enjoy a break from description and commentary, and Patterson provides a pleasant reprieve. Gory killings and crazy killers litter the pages, but glimpses of world-famous cities populate the mad race to find the killers. Patterson's language remains simplistic and his characters confirm to various stereotypes, but Patterson's books make you wonder if the person you just met might be a killer. ( )

Would have liked more background - what happened to Sylvia and Mac to make them so sick? ( )
