23 1/2 Lies by James Patterson
3.0

Wasn't expecting this would be a collection of short stories and was surprised when 23 1/2 lies ended so relatively abruptly. That said, this ended up being good because I'm not sure I'd have picked up the other two titles, and I really enjoyed Fallen Ranger. This should have been just the two as the 3rd was barely more than a short story with neither character nor plot development.

Spoiler23 1/2 lies was just weird. The series has turned into the Lindsay Boxer story and while I love her, Joe and Julie, I miss more about all of them. And do we really gain anything by her formerly dead father dying again?

Fallen Ranger was a really good, traditional Patterson story with character development, logical albeit twisted plot and a couple of plot twists. I liked the dynamic between Rory and Parker and his family.
