A stunning stand-alone thriller following a Detroit cop's hunt for a serial killer like no other, from the bestselling authors of The Noise.
__________________________

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

You never forget your first case.

Officer Walter O'Brien is called to a murder scene on his first night with Detroit PD. A terrified young woman has bludgeoned her attacker with shocking skill.

She is also a brilliant escape artist. Her flight from police custody makes the case impossible to solve - and, for Walter, impossible to forget.

His fascination with the missing, grey-eyed woman approaches obsession. And when Walter discovers that he's not alone in his search, only one thing is certain . . .

The string of murders didn't begin in his home city - but he's going to make sure it ends there.

Stellar Read.

Reviewed in Australia on 23 April 2022

Yet another fantastic collaboration between two amazing authors, James Patterson and JD Barker.
I couldn't wait to read this book and was definitely not left disappointed.
Death of the Black Widow will keep you turning pages long into the night, trying to imagine where these authors are going. I certainly couldn't put it down.
Well worth a read and definitely highly recommended.
The only downside, for me, it had to come to an end.

The beginning seemed to indicate another good tale from JP. Then it just went downhill after investigating a kidnapper/killer.
I continued to read hoping the story improved to reality, but sadly it didn’t.
Not one of Mr Patterson’s finest!

Clever storytelling which keeps you turning page after page to get to the end and solve the mystery. I love J.D. Barker's writing style and once again, I was not disappointed.

A bit forward and backwards

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2022

Verified Purchase

I am not that keen on a story that keeps going backwards and forwards in time and this is one of those. Although meant to prolong the suspense, I did keep cursing when I had to keep remembering what had happened before and after. Otherwise quite a good read. Not up to Patterson's best though.
N.B. I posted the previous paragraph before I had read the book completely. It turned into a weird horror type story halfway though which has made me change my mind about it. It's not a believable story, in fact it reminds me of one of Patterson's I read years ago about babies being stolen and changed to fairies. Give me a much more believable crime story please or have another partner when writing a story. Sorry, I did stay until the end but No, No, No.

Strange book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2022

This book has a very strange tale to tell. Murder many times over and over many years but its a compelling book to read and you get to the point where you have to keep reading to find an answer to it all. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat

Bizarre!

Didn’t like the way the storyline kept jumping from present to past! At first I was rather enjoying it, then it turned into a weird, bizarre & totally unbelievable story! Sorry James, I am a huge fan of yours, but this was very disappointing!

A monster of a read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2022

A truly incredible novel, gripping and mysterious with a great central character obsessively tracking down a female suspect, but something is very very different and deadly about this woman.......
