"This was my first Patterson but I wrote my review of the The Quickie first so that's where all my Patterson comments are. I picked this book because it was the 2005 International Thriller of the Year and also a best seller for Patterson. I liked The Quickie better. Again, really hard to explain but I just don't like any of his characters, even the good guys. The story is great. Totally got the thriller part of this but to me it's just not rounded out or something. I can't quite put my finger on it. But hey, who am I to say. It was a best seller and he's had several of his books turned into movies (both of which I've seen and love) so who knows!
In this story we have a female serial killer, a undercover FBI agent and some other odds and ends going on. Just like The Quickie it seems pretty open and close and then it just goes crazy with twists so I loved that part. I just couldn't like any of the characters so that's a hard sale for me."
"Picked this up from the library and read it in 1 day. Typical Patterson with short chapters that keep the story moving fast, characters you really enjoy. This one is good and leaves a few items in the book unresolved so even after your done you're thinking about some things - like what was in the letter that Nora's mother put in her purse? Did the nurse take it? Did Nora ever read it? Very interesting!"
"Is there any wonder this received the 2005 International Thriller of the Year Award? Suffice it to say, that alone is reason enough to read, and, if nothing else, check out to see if it's worthy of the award. Is it? You bet your bookshelves it is!!!
One of the best fiction books I've EVER read!! Don't you just love it when you don't see the ending coming? You won't in this one either, at least, I didn't ;o )"
