Goodreads review by Karen on October 07, 2023

3.75 / 5 I think reading any James Patterson you’re always going to be in for a ride. I was expecting some courthouse law drama but it wasn’t exactly that. Overall, it’s not a bad read, an entertaining one which leans more on the action end than the ‘dectective/ suspense fiction’ my library classed......more

Typical Patterson format. Good story. Easy read. Lion & Lamb make a great duo. Fun story, especially because I’m an Eagles’ fan (football), love the South Jersey Shore & know Philly. Please check out the other reviews. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.......more

Quotes

“There’s an inherent satisfaction we get from murder mystery stories that feature entirely clever, yet diametrically opposed, but still wildly attracted to each other detective types. It scratches an itch. I should know—I’m somewhat of an expert. (On murder stories, not itches.)  Patterson once again takes us on a wild ride that keeps us turning pages to see if we’re all as smart as the characters in his story.”—Nathan Fillion

“A classic game of cat and mouse.”—BookReporter
