Review title: Not very impressed
Product review: It was okay but a little too contrived. It gave me the impression that Patterson sat around and wrote a bunch of flash cards and said, "I'll go this direction, add this twist, then this twist" and then he filled in the space in between with filler material. In the process he creates this woman's group that would be preposterous I suspect in the real world. Then when he finished his book he sat back and said... "One more twist! Viola. I created a masterpiece." Only his coup de gras looked like it was written as an afterthought and looked like it was written in 30 minutes. The real coup de gras should have been his published mailing this one back.The question now is do I want to try another Patterson novel. Answer: Yes. But if it's as lame as 1st to Die, I'll go back to Michael Connelly.
