Negative Positive
Title: First and last Patterson I'll read.
Review: Wow--two serial killers for the price of one! But this "doubling" technique diminishes both stories. I was surprised to learn Patterson has several books to his credit. For much of the first half it seemed the author was saying "Golly gee! I'm a writer!" The characters have no real distinguishing features--none stand out. I felt uninvolved, distanced from all of them. It read like a movie script--one quick scene after another. Lost interest several times. Skipped many of the "sensitive" (boring) scenes. The ending of both killers were anti-climactic cop-outs. This should have been stronger considering the subject matter. I'm disappointed.
