This book was good, but not as good as a lot of James Patterson's. Way too much lead up and unnecessary details. At times it seemed like all the detail was thrown in just to make the book longer. Once the story finally got moving it was not too bad. Although the 'who done it' part was no surprise, some of the details of the crime were.
Overall I like Patterson when he is by himself. This co-writing or writing by another and his name applied as a coauthor is not top notch, some is still not too bad.
