Not necessarily a bad book, but I probably would not read it again. Lots of slow parts and the ending was a bit rushed.

The followup to the last Bennett book, and I hate to say I'm not impressed. It took a full 3rd of the book to even get Michael into the case and away from his family. Even then, the kick back and forth wasn't constructive. A budding relationship between MC and a guard, only to kill him and never make Michael aware of it? No jealousy, and no point. Again, Perinne is baddy #1, so there's only the chase to find him - no who-dun-it like in the earlier books. A FBI death and video of a raid on Michael's family are enough to cause a military raid invading another country? Obviously there's more to it, but this is the road we're lead down.

I, Michael Bennett was not impressive, and unfortunately Gone didn't turn it around with this story arc. I had already listened to Alert, which inspired me to go through all the books. I'm glad to say we do get back to the full death chase. I just hope Burn takes the same direction that Alert does.

I was engrossed in this from start to finish. Being a huge Bennett fan I was not disappointed by this!! My only critique would be the ending,I found it somewhat "I could see this coming!!".

I am really enjoying this series - love the characters, enjoyed the settings of this one. Nice to get out of NYC!

This was a good book. I was worried that it would turn into one of those bizarre rogue cop books because of all the threats on his family. It was really suspenseful and well done

This is a really fast read. I could hardly put it down. I love books like this that scoop you up and take you away. The books like so many other series books are predictable but yet enjoyable because of the few twists and tweaks. I look forward to the new installments of the various series that Patterson puts out. Looking forward to the Bennett s getting back to Manhattan and moving along with their lives.
