just ok

I believe this book was a basic interesting story plot but not up to the level of other James Paterson books.


A true page-turner.

This was one of my favorite books. It was full of suspense and intrigue. It's a quick read and hard to put down. If you loved his book, "Honeymoon", you should definitely order "The Quickie".

Gift for daughter in law

My daughter in law enjoys reading James Patterson...She said this was another great book by him






Fast page turner

This book moves at a fast pace and is an enjoyable read. Not for the deep thinker but a fun and fast read.


Just a Little on the Side

Fresh from reading The 6th Target I dove right into another James Patterson Thriller, this one co-authored by Michael Ledwidge, who is a thriller writer in his own right, and I have to say, despite all the criticism I've heard of these shotgun delivery James Patterson novels, I've really liked the last two I've read and I really liked this one, so much so that I'm going to have to go out and get Step on a Crack next and see if Messers Patterson and Ledwidge have the same tense suspense there as they've dripped all through this one.

NYPD Homicide Detective Lauren Stillwell plans to surprise her husband broker Paul Stillwell but when she shows up for her planned surprise lunch, she's the one who is surprised. She sees hubby dear entering a hotel with a hottie blonde. This won't do, it just won't do, so Lauren decides on getting a little revenge and has a little quickie of her own with undercover cop Scott Thayer. Just a little sex on the side, nothing more.

But it turns into more, because hubby Paul kills lover Scott and detective Lauren sees it live. What to do, what to do? She can't come forward, she'd lose her job, so she decides to cover for Paul and if you don't think that setup isn't enough to keep you burning the midnight oil, then you gotta close the book and turn on PBS, because you're not a thriller reader. There are twists I didn't see coming, turns I missed completely in this story that reminds me of Patterson of old. You won't be disappointed with this one.

Ken Douglas, author of Dead Ringer, Desperation Moon & Running Scared.
