Another solid Bennett mystery. I did really enjoy the multiple story lines through the story and there all were woven together nicely. Definitely recommend this one.

That ending was majorly disappointing like why would you choose to end your book that way. There was so many loose ends and NONE OF THEM LED TO A CLIMAX. So anyway I don't care to write a review because it was a bit of a crap book and I did not enjoy it ahaha. Sorry xx

Always enjoy this series of Patterson's, this one did not disappoint.

Something about this series, I love listening to the audiobooks

Michael Bennett has brought down Perrine for good and his family is finally safe.

Now back, Bennett is reassigned to “Outreach Squad” in Harlem. When a police report is made about a party of people in an unusual spot, but without any evidence of crime, Bennett is forced to pass it by, that is until a body is found in the exact same spot. With a group of misfits as his new team, Michael dives into the case. At the same time, Michael also gets a chance to catch a team of robbers who hit only the very high-end jewelry stores. Instead of giving up on the first case, Michael decides to work on both cases. To top it all, Michael has to fight his growing emotions for the nanny of his children and a threat from the biological father of one of his children. With so much going on around in and around his life, Michael has to step up his game is he wants to keep things under control.

The concept of Outreach Squad and its assorted team members really got me interested in the story and quite frankly I would have been happy reading about Michael getting the squad in form. The added mystery just crowded the story and to top it off was Michael’s personal life issues. Somehow everything got into a bit of a tangle. However, as usual, Patterson has done an excellent job of dealing out action and drama through the pages. With so much happening, the storyline kept flowing smoothly and the narration was good too. The anti-heroes of the story were probably the only letdown in the book, especially when compared to the other villains that Bennett has encountered previously. Hopefully Bennett and Mary Catherine will get together soon.

Overall, this is a typical James Patterson novel that will keep you glued to the pages until the very end.

The latest Detective Michael Bennett thriller in which he is "promoted" to be the chief of a new squad, gets said new squad working better, chases diamond thieves, and deals with rich cannibals. There are also a few health scares that don't bode well for the future.

I liked the other reviewer that said that a James a Patterson books were like junk food. Tastes great, easy to read, not much to it and the taste disappears in a hurry. I like this book overall but like junk food not a lot to it. It's a good time waster

Disappointing.
Disjointed.
Waited a long time for Michael Bennett to return... boo.
