Patterson's latest is only out 1 week and it is #1 on the NY times bestseller list.He holds the record of 63 best selling titles. He has sold more novels than Stephen King,John Grisham & Dan Brown combined.He says "I am not a prose stylist and thousands of critics don't like what I write.I am a storeyteller first and foremost, and thankfully there are millions who do like what I write".With that said I am one of his millions of fans.I have read every adult novel he has written and I always look forward to his next book.This book is his 4th in the New York detective "Michael Bennett" series. The widower with 10 adopted children,their Irish nanny Mary Catherine and his priest father Seamus are starting to grow on me.He is getting good at juggling his many family problems while searching for the latest diabolical criminal.This book is his typical fast paced thriller with lots of twists and turns and chapter ending cliff hangers which make you want to keep turning pages and continue reading.I thoroughly enjoyed this latest novel.
