Negative Positive
Title: After all of his other great reads, a major letdown.
Review: If you are a fan or Richard North Patterson, as am I, save yourself the money and more importantly the time. He attempts, and fails, at writing a darker tail of deceipt. His fictional town of Steeltown is contrived and not at all believable. His plot is disjointed and his characters belong in Greek tragety. Go back to San Francisco Mr. Patterson and leave the dark Rust Belt for more accomplished writers like John Updike. Stick to your knitting. We would all be much happier.
