It was another nail bitter from James Patterson. I enjoyed the story line and the array of characters.
Another great installment in the Michael Bennett series! As I have been noticing with James Patterson books lately, the plot and pace has been slowed down enough for me to really enjoy the story. I enjoyed the interactions between Michael and Mary Catherine very much and was so glad to see him make the decision that was right for him and his family - and Emily wasn't it. The plot overall had a couple of nice twists all the way to the end. I look forward to seeing where Patterson takes Michael Bennett next!
I always enjoy Patterson. I love the characters in this series, even when I want to punch them because they are doing something stupid. Always a quick good read.
not interesting enough to finish. I enjoy the Michael Bennet series, but feel sort of same o same o with it..decided I had more interesting reads in my pile.

Michael Bennett, NYPD detective extraordinaire, is enjoying a seaside vacation with his family of 10 children, father and nanny. This should have been my first clue to put the book down, but Tick-Tock, I read on. A serial killer is terrorizing New York City by impersonating serial killers from the past. The crimes from the likes of Son of Sam and The Mad Bomber are being re-created and superhero Michael Bennett is called away from vacation to save the day.
Tick-Tock, at least this is a quick read. The plot was decent and kept the pace moving, but the author felt a need to attempt to interject romantic sub-plots, which did nothing for the story nor add any character depth. For some reason ALL the ladies fawn over Mr. Bennett. The nanny, a former partner, a random journalist, The First Lady (okay the last one is a lie) cannot seem to resist Bennett’s charms. Why even bother being a detective! By the end I was actually rooting for the bad guy in hopes that this would end the possibility of another Michael Bennett novel.
Final thoughts: Tic-Tock would be okay for a quick airplane or beach read, but you can find better… and you should.
