Politimannen Mike Bennet er enkemann og tibarns far (detektivhelter pleier jo å ha personlige problemer, og dette er en fin avveksling fra den sedvanlige alkoholismen/PTSD). En morder med forkjærlighet for å drepe folk i poshe miljøer, herjer i byen. Vår helt settes på saken, noe som viser seg å bli livsfarlig. God underholdning fra en forfatter som behersker håndverket.
Totally generic and uninteresting. If you have ever read a mystery novel in your life, it was probably better than this one. The protagonist isn't a d-bag, so it gets two stars instead of one.
Entertaining to listen to. Moved quickly, lots of action. The detective and his family are really fun and well-developed. The military aspect of this book really bugged me - it's not at all accurate and pretty derogatory to Marines. Not cool.

Well, I guess you could call me the upside-down girl. Or the backwards girl. Why? Because I read Worst Case before Run for Your Life... Never mind Step on a Crack, I didn't even realize there was one before this...
Michael Bennett is an NYPD detective who is tracking down a killer--or is it more than one? When a series of murders take place, it's difficult to say for sure whether it's the work of a serial killer, or just random occurances. But lucky Michael is put in charge of finding out, and catching the perp(s). Run for Your Life is a fun read, even with Michael's sick brood, cranky grandfather, weary nanny, and one (or more?) very very sick person(s).
It's got plot, characters, and a satisfying ending. Pick it up for a quick read, or to throw into your take-on-vacation pile.

The first thing that hit me about this book is the cover. One look at it and ‘Bruce Willis’ is all I could think of. Needless to say, after that I kept getting mental images of Bruce Willis as Michael Bennett throughout the book which only made it more fun to read.
In this instalment, we realise that a criminal, who calls himself ‘Teacher’ is kidnapping the rich & influential kids to teach them manners. Well, he is not just kidnapping but is also murdering his victims in order to send a message through to the society. When the police department is thwarted by the Teacher, they bring in Michael Bennett into the case. A widower with bunch of adopted kids, Michael Bennett is a typical James Patterson protagonist. Tough and intuitive, Michael Bennett steps in and takes things under his control. Trying to figure out the Teacher’s MO, Michael Bennett soon finds himself in a spot where someone near to him is under threat.
The novel is typically a James Patterson Novel that has small but action packed chapters. It is a page turner, giving glimpses of Michael Bennett’s personal & professional life, as well as a peek into the psych of the antagonist. Of course the protagonist is a kind of person you would love to cheer for and so while Michael is on the chase and closes down on the antagonist, I found myself biting my nails into oblivion.
In recent times, James Patterson has often fallen short of living upto my expectations from him. But this book was one of those that reminded me why I am such a James Patterson Fan. Good One!
