A very quick read, but a little too neatly wrapped up. Mitchum has to find out who killed a drug dealer, and determine if his brother did it.

This is the sequel in the Mitchum books. I am trying to read more books by James Patterson and his Bookshots are the best way to do it, because they are so short and are fast reads.
Mitchum's brother has been charged with murder. Nathaniel swears he didn't kill anyone. However, he admits that he is involved with the victim's wife. It is up to Mitchum to become a un-official private investigator again and figure out the truth.
This book was fun and fast paced! A great quick read :)

This book filled the time but was lacking in engagement. The character development was built strongly on stereotypes and the "twist" at the end highly predictable but not due to any foreshadowing.
The first-person narrative seems contrived. At times, Mitchum seems to have to much metacognition within a situation to appear realistic. People rarely analyze their motives or actions while still doing them.
The plot itself had holes and felt just generally unfinished. Where were the clues for the reader to follow and be the P.I. as well? Who had Mitchem brought to the station to "talk"? Did Billy just intervene to save him? How did Tharpe find out about Pete and Alton's deal? At what point did Pete's wife become involved? Did she or Lise use Natty as a scapegoat?
This is the fourth Bookshot that I've read and the second Mitchem book. Im thinking that Patterson's writing style just may not be for me.

It’s such a quick read that you don’t get to see much characters development which lets the book down. Some of the characters were annoying and I didn’t like the plot that much as it’s seemed so rushed xx

Mitchum is back so says the blurb and nobody really asked him, but he just decided to re-appear.
Follow up to the first book feels like a completely different character and is a pretty rubbish story.
Not much to see here.
