Patterson either has really good thrillers, which I re-read or really boring, tedious ones with too much gore, which I don't finish.(less)

As someone asked, what did Jacob's mentor have to say about Lucy, Kimmie's mother? It wasn't mentioned when the mentor asked Jacob if he wanted to find out about her, Jacob said not at the moment, and then the book more or less ended so we didn't find out the answer. I also got confused about who murdered some of the other couples when Sylvia and Macc couldn't have done it as they were in another country at the time.

Sandy Dooley All was explained. There was an online network of people who had committed the other crimes that they traced through IP addresses. And at the end of t…moreAll was explained.

A NYC detective is following the case because his daughter was one of the first victims and he is trying to find her killer(s). It's a stand alone but the characters (detective, news reporter, and others) were interesting. The chapters are very short. Almost like paragraphs in a short story. I gave it 4 stars.(less)

I watch Dateline, 20/20, 48 Hours, etc. all the time and I barely made it through the first three chapters because they were so ugly. But they are serial killers. It's definately not a cozy mystery so if you don't want to read a lot of blood, gore, and violence this is not your book. However, I really got into the characters and wanted to know how they were pulling off the murders so I kept reading. I did finish the book. But it's not my favorite James Patterson. (less)
