I'm a HUGE James Patterson fan, so as soon as I saw this in the box from Hachette Books I freaked out! Anyway, I was pretty skeptical of this book at first. James Patterson is known for his murder mystery books, so that is what I was expecting. When I read the back of the book, I really thought that Patterson had stepped out of his element, and I just couldn't see this working. Was I ever wrong! This book has the same fluid and wonderful writing style you will see in all of Patterson's other books, and the characters are just as well developed and easy to love.

I had been hesitant when I picked up Sam's Letters to Jennifer and Sunday's at Tiffany's as well, because those were more romantic type books. Patterson didn't disappoint in those two books, and certainly didn't in this one either! I was hooked from the first sentence, and it just got better from there.

I love Patterson's Alex Cross novels, and Michael Bennett novels, and I'm hoping that this can be another series staring Hays Baker. I'm not really sure how that would be possible...but I would love it!

I love when you are reading a book and halfway through you think you've completely figured everything out, and then BAM, you've been wrong the whole time! This is a DEFINITE must read for Patterson fans!
