Fifty Fifty by James Patterson and Candice Fox



This is a double novel with no connection between the stories.  No clue as to why it was published this way.   Story one, a detective with anger issues finds herself defending her brother when all the evidence proves to the contrary.   Story two is about a debonair detective with a very intuitive nature who suffers multiple tragedies.

Both stories are adequate.   Harriet Blue is depicted as a diminutive, overcompensating detective with a very bad attitude and a drive to save the unsavable.  She isn’t likable but she is good at what she does.  The setting is the far outback of Australia which was interesting.

Moncrief, a very French detective, is totally out of his element in NYC.   After suffering two personal tragedies, he goes to Paris to search his roots for the cause.

Still not sure why double, unconnected novels.

They were both entertaining.
