3 out of 5 stars United States James Patterson Marshall Karp Serial Killer
My Review James Patterson acts more of an editor in these joint books that he does so much is written by Marshall Karp. It certainly has the feel of a New York style novel, it is written in that way although it is quite hard to describe just what that way is. It does come with Patterson's trademark short chapters though but in this instance they feel particularly out of place.
_______________________
It also felt something of a difficult read owing to the constant interruptions into the flow of the novel because of occasional uses of the film script layout of the book, as it is told from the killer's perspective. In the end these became more of a source of annoyance than anything.
Plot Summary My Review In The Series Recommendations
For what is was a standard serial killer type novel it actually got caught between being three types of novel really including being a bit of a police procedural novel and an action novel. There are some good action scenes in it particularly towards the end.
_____________________
I also didn't particularly warm to the two main detectives in the novel either. They didn't really come across all that well. Nor am I particularly sure about having a police taskforce dedicated to protecting the rich and famous.
