Well I certainly didn’t expect that!!! The killer is a monster. But there is more to him. Read the book to find out what. Great story. Bennett finally marries Mary Catherine. Emily was in this one. Still don’t like her. Ugh. Four stars!!

James Patterson novels are great for listening to while I work - I don't have to concentrate too much, there's no big words or complicated plots, or really anything to think about. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I do enjoy them.

Michael Bennett returns in another installment as a top NYPD cop. In this novel, he is assigned a new partner, and they are chasing a ruthless serial killer that tries to throw off the police by manipulating the crime scene. The killer’s signature act is especially gruesome.
Meanwhile, at home, Mary Catherine is planning their wedding, and both Michael and Mary Catherine are concerned about Brian, recently released from prison, and how he is coping.
Another solid book from James Patterson and James Born.
