Review title: Not 1st Rate
Product review: Definitely not one of Patterson's best and not a good way to start off a new series. I agree with many others that the characters are not well developed. Also Patterson continues as he does with Alex; "angsting" the life of his main protagonist in this case, Lindsay Boxer. I guess he just doesn't want his main characters to enjoy any personal happiness. Interesting. Also pretty unbelievable that someone that ill could work the hours that Boxer does. Aside from that, I felt the story was weak and I agree with another reviewer that the ending left you wondering who was the character in Chapter 17. So many chapters, maybe this one was suppose to be edited out and it wasn't. Makes no sense. I think Mr. Patterson needs to slow down and return to his original crafy, page turning ways and not become a novel mill.
