NYPD Red 4 by James Patterson
2.0
A few years ago, I gave up reading most of James Patterson's books. When all his books added co-authors, I found that I didn't like the writing much anymore and I quit reading him. When I saw the Red series, I thought I'd give it a try. But I think I'm ready to quit again.
If this is the NYPD's "elite task force" looks like, I'd hate to see the scrubs! Both mysteries get solved, but the work couldn't have been any sloppier. Then Kylie goes completely off the reservation to find her drug-addicted husband repeatedly throughout the book, waving her badge around and bullying her way to the information she wants. And Zach, the idiot, helps her, leaving Cheryl at home waiting for him. I was just shaking my head, annoyed for most of the book. The only positive is that the story moves at a fast pace.
James, I think we need to break-up again. I'm sorry.
