The Summer House by Brendan DuBois, James Patterson
4.0
This is fine, it's a good mystery and I liked the way the team worked together.
It's a thriller about a legal team that works with the Armed Forces to investigate crimes with more than just JAG lawyers and the usual Military Police. Also on the team are a Doctor and a Lawyer and it adds a bit of depth to the standard "Military Legal Thriller" genre.
I don't like the James Patterson Trademarked 1,000 Chapters Syndrome, where information that could be easily provided in a single chapter is split into 5 Chapters to create artificial suspense, but it didn't work against this book enough to diminish my enjoyment.
This also has the rare instance of giving the villains narration chapters so you have an understanding of what they're doing before it's all revealed in a Drawing Room Scene, which wouldn't really work in this particular novel, so it was a welcome variation.
