James Patterson and Adam Hamdy deliver a fast-paced, globe-trotting thriller in Private Moscow. The story follows Jack Morgan as he uncovers a web of corruption and betrayal after a former colleague is brutally murdered. The narrative is packed with action, unexpected twists, and the signature short chapters that Patterson fans have come to expect.
While the book excels in maintaining suspense and delivering high-stakes moments, the plot occasionally feels predictable, and some characters lack depth. The Moscow setting is vividly described, adding a sense of intrigue and danger, but the story doesn't fully capitalize on its potential for exploring deeper geopolitical themes.
Overall, Private Moscow is an entertaining read for fans of Patterson's Private series, though it may not stand out as a top-tier entry. Perfect for readers seeking a quick, adrenaline-filled escape.
