The thrilling #1 New York Times and USA Today bestseller (Karin Slaughter): when three bodies are found in a Chicago bedroom, a black book goes missing . . . and the city has never been more dangerous.
Billy Harney was born to be a cop. As the son of Chicago's chief of detectives with a twin sister on the force, Billy plays it by the book. Teaming up with his adrenaline-junkie partner, Detective Kate Fenton, there's nothing he wouldn't sacrifice for his job. Enter Amy Lentini, a hard-charging assistant 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.
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.
As Chicago's elite scramble 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 secrets that can destroy a city, The Black Book is James Patterson at his page-turning best.

Review

Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent--which is what James Patterson has, in spades.--Lee Child, #1 bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

Brilliantly twisty...many readers will agree with Patterson that this is the 'best book [he's] written in 25 years.'
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Full of startling revelations...pitch-perfect pacing, plotting, and characterization.
--BookReporter.com

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page. Simply put: Nobody does it better.---Jeffrey Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Collector

James Patterson is The Boss. End of.--Ian Rankin, bestselling author of Rather Be the Devil

The mystery is authentic, the lead-up genuinely suspenseful.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The plot twists will give you whiplash.
--Washington Post

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?

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

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.

Disappointed

I have always liked James pattersons books, but honestly I was bored and couldn't wait to finish it. I am a prolific reader and ploughed on until the end hoping it would redeem itself... But no. Read his early stuff it's far better.

The Black Book by James Patterson

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2021

Verified Purchase

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.

This is one of my favourite reads! I loved all the time changes and kept thinking I had worked it out only to find I was wrong again! Loved it! Loaned it to my sister and she loved it too!
