I've never read a Patterson book before but I love retellings, pastiches and the like, so the premise interested me. I'm guessing this is more Sitts writing than Patterson since they've done a few books like this that repurpose famous characters.
This book felt like it was more interested in introducing the characters than the several mysteries it set out to solve. It really just kind had a bunch of random stuff happen that were connected in the context of mysteries but it was hard to care that much. Probably won't continue with the series, but might if the mood hits me. We'll see.
