5.0 out of 5 starsA really good read
Reviewed in Australia on 6 April 2021
A fast paced book, leads you in one direction then moves in another. Who can you trust ? Looking forward to the next book in this series.

LAYLA
2.0 out of 5 starsUnbelievable, uncomfortable, laughable.
Reviewed in Australia on 1 March 2022
There were many times I doubted this was a Patterson creation. .
Whilst accepting there is a lot of corruption in many police forces throughout the world, the reader’s task here was to figure out, who wasn’t corrupt.
I think it is becoming more and more his co-writers creations. Which is fine if that is expected but not if one expects the style and standard of the master.
Back to Connelly or even Grisham, whose books can also bea disappointment of late.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on 25 April 2021

I was disappointed. I have read both authors before. However, I could not finish this book. I found it disjointed and not well written. I know this book was rated highly by readers. However, I gave up around page 190.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time

Sorry to say that this book was a huge disappointment. James Patterson is one of my favorite authors and Alex Cross is one of my favorite characters. None of these characters are a favorite, and I wouldn’t be interested in knowing them even in a book. The plot was okay but delivery was shallow.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disgusting violence against women.

I was sickened by the three descriptions of violence to women. I could not (would not) finish it. This was a huge disappointment to me as I was ready to ready this sequel following The Black Book. Boo, David Ellis, and Boo to James Patterson to allow this to be published under his name.

So excited to receive this book. Settled in and opened to read and it just didn’t look right. Closer examination showed the book started on page 43 with the next chapter up being 13. So now I have to return the book in order to get one that I can read. So very frustrating.

The first James Patterson book I couldn’t read. Not in his usual style. I think I’ve read all of his books and totally love his writing.
