I finished one of the oldest books on my TBR. It's a good start to a new-to-me detective-type series. I always like James Patterson--he includes a variety of cases that are worked on at the same time, and his short chapters keep the story moving forward quickly. The narration was just OK, but adequate. I'll continue with this series.
