I finished this book in two days. Yes a little predictable, but it was super easy to read, the story hooked you right away and kept a fast paced. Definitely would recommend!

This book is the second in the Michael Bennett detective series. This is an enjoyable read with a slight twist. The main character continues to develop in later books in the series. This was one that I was missing.
I wish that there had been a resolution to the situation at the beginning and the end of the book. This was not the main part of the storyline, but I felt like I was left hanging in mid-air.

The second Michael Bennett book has a lot of buzz going around about the new Patterson series and detective. This time around Bennett’s whole family becomes ill with a flu and he is forced by the city to investigate a series of strange killings at high profile businesses. Just when Michael thinks he knows what is going on, the killer throws a curve ball and changes the course of Michael’s life forever.
I really enjoyed this second in series book. I think Patterson has created another great character and family life that will continue to grow much as the Alex Cross series has. This story left a lot of intrigue and confusion as much mystery novels do, drawing the reader in to the life of Michael Bennett. It was suspenseful and a very good read. Can’t wait to find out what Patterson has up his sleeve for the next one.

This is the second book I read by James Patterson that features Michael Bennett. I really like his character - he has 10 kids and lost his wife to cancer so he's trying to be a good father while at the same time, he is a police detective and in this one he is dealing with a serial killer called The Teacher.
It was a quick read, just like all of his books and my only complaint is that it would be nice if he developed the characters a little bit more.
