Alex is in love again. This Time Bree Stone is the object of his affection. This guy has had more deep loves than Jacque Cousteau. A wedding is planned and surprisingly Nana is on board. The kids are also in favor of Bree. Sounds like a love story but then add Kyle Craig, the monomaniac ex-FBI serial killer. That provides a heady mix and an intoxicating brew. Typically fast paced with the characteristic 2 and three page chapters the book moves really fast.
An ethical dilemma that plays well in today’s distrustful environment complicates an already involved plot. High profile sleazoids are being killed. Mortgage brokers defrauding home owners, oil speculators, people who are widely hated for their self serving behavior are being killed and the killer is seen as a dispenser of justice. This adds difficulty to Cross and Sampson when they investigate. Who wants a “patriot” to be caught?
This Patterson was a bit more thought provoking than many. Don’t get me wrong, I most often enjoy them but they seldom cause me to ponder. The ethical issues in one case, in this book, let me to ponder my own feelings on the situation. It was an extra added bonus on top of the light speed, cotton candy read that I usually expect from Patterson.
I highly recommend it.
