A review by steph01924
11th Hour by James Patterson
2.0
Despite Lindsay repeating over and over again that these Heads in the Garden were some of the creepiest/weirdest stuff she's seen, I didn't get that from this book at all. It felt very ho-hum. This series has been losing steam. I was eagerly awaiting the book to be over, just so I would be finished and have my mild curiosity satisfied about the killers.
One big thing that annoyed me was the whole sub-plot about Lindsay and Joe. It was a cheap ploy by the authors to drag out a lame, sensational sub-plot, and it fell completely flat on its face with me. Ugh.
Not sure if I'll be reading the next one. I haven't read too much Patterson (with there being just so much of it), and I've had some of his older 'popular' series in my to-read list for awhile...but I don't know now if I ever will read them. Maybe he once made a decent effort at writing...but this certainly wasn't it.

I cannot STAND it when a character just jumps to such HUGE, LIFE-altering conclusions and won't even allow the other person to explain before cutting off all contact. I felt zero sympathy for her, because she made all that shit up in her head and wallowed willingly when she could've just listened to Joe's explanation. Yes, Jane lying didn't help and maybe Joe's explanation would've been, "Yeah, I cheated, sorry" but then she could at least know for sure and stated to move on.Not sure if I'll be reading the next one.
