The Instant #1 New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

Three bodies in a beautiful and luxurious bedroom.

Billy Harney was born to be a cop. The son of Chicago's chief of detectives, whose twin sister is also on the force, Billy plays it by the book. Alongside Detective Kate Fenton, Billy's tempestuous, adrenaline-junkie partner, there's nothing he wouldn't sacrifice for his job. Enter Amy Lentini, a hard-charging assistant state's attorney hell-bent on making a name for herself-who suspects Billy isn't the cop he claims to be. They're about to be linked by more than their careers.

One missing black book.

A horrifying murder leads investigators to an unexpected address-an exclusive brothel that caters to Chicago's most powerful citizens. There's plenty of incriminating evidence on the scene-but what matters most is what's missing: the madam's black book. Now with shock waves rippling through the city's elite, everyone's desperate to find it.

Chicago has never been more dangerous.

As everyone who's anyone in Chicago scrambles to get their hands on the elusive black book, no one's motives can be trusted. An ingenious, inventive thriller about power, corruption, and the power of secrets to scandalize a city-and possibly destroy a family-The Black Book is James Patterson at his page-turning best.

The actual author seemed to suffer from memory loss

Reviewed in Australia on 2 August 2021

Verified Purchase

as he/she repeated the same phrases several times in succeeding chapters. This made the writing seem particularly amateurish and certainly not like a book by James Patterson. If it wasn't for the brilliant ending, I would have awarded it no stars. But is it worth reading just for the ending, I suggest not?

A good mystery surprises you and a great one confounds you. Consider me confounded. Patterson kept me tripping over red herrings until the end.

I bought this book 9mths ago and forgot about it because i was suffering from James Patterson fatigue, figured it will take an amazing book to bring me back. Wow what a book!!!! I just could not put it down. The surprises just kept coming and an ending i did not see coming.

The writing was epic and the dialogue was amazing. Such an amazing read.

This book has so many twists and turns and just when you think you have it figured it throws for a loop - it was an amazing and a riveting book I sincerely hope that there will be more in the lives of Billy Harney and his sister Pattie

I love your books

I read this book with no expectations but in the end I couldn't put it down. I really loved it. Great read.

Excellent story line. Spellbinding writing with shock twists. Had me on the end of my chair. Hard to put down.

Reviewed in Australia on 29 May 2017

Plot is quite good, not sure I am a fan of the past and present aspects of the book, not James usual style and I think tends to slow the action in the book.
Others may disagree but for me not one of James best.

I usually always enjoy James Patterson's books and this one didn't disappoint. I thought I had it figured out but was surprised by the twist at the end..

Patterson at his best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Having been a great fan of Patterson for many years I have been disappointed in his recent ones written in collaboration with A N Other authors and had begun to believe that his role in producing a novel nowadays was merely allowing his name to appear on the cover to ensure sales and in collecting the royalties.

Thankfully, The Black Book has reinstated him as one of my favourite authors. It's an absolute page turner, its many nail biting twists and turns defeating my efforts to guess the conclusion, which is only revealed in the last few pages. I cannot wait to read its successor, The Red Book, which wil have a hard time to match the pace of its predecessor..

The Black Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2020

Verified Purchase

I really rate James Patterson as an amazing crime and law author of thrilling books but I prefer when he writes on his own and not as a co-author. I enjoyed this story very much but it just lacked something and I cannot say what exactly! It just seemed to miss a beat! I read all of the Alex Cross books solely written by Mr Patterson which were utterly amazing, enthralling and every other expletive I can think of, along with all the other James Patterson series I've read. I just couldn't bring myself to give this story 5 stars even though the plot was brilliant as are the characters, but it just lacked the brilliance of a singularly written James Patterson book.

I really enjoyed this book which has completely new characters. The story has twists and turns that keep you guessing right until you read who the criminals are. Every time I thought I'd worked it out another twist in the story. The 2nd book in the series is due to follow soon.

The black book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2020

A complex story with many characters to keep track of. There are several possibilities for the whereabouts of the black book but until near the end the end the reader does not have enough information to realise that the plot is deeper than at first thought.

Great writing by James Patterson and his one-off stories are usually very good. Really enjoyed this book as the twist (which you know is coming) is not who you suspect!! Read within 2 days. Highly recommend.
