Now with the entire city plunged into fear. Lindsay must frantically work with her new partner to connect these horrific crimes.

My Review

Just finished this book and I can't wait to dive into the next! I feel like I repeat myself when I review James Patterson's novels because I love them all so much and think he's a wonderful writer. His stories always suck me and I can't stop reading until I find out what happened! I think I may have read this one faster than I have any of his others. There was so much going on in this book: shooting spree at a ferry dock and abducted children. One minute is seems like things will settle down in the story, but then something else happens and we're off on a chase again.

What I really loved about this book was learning more about Lindsay's personal life and her relationship with Joe. They have a long distance relationship, which can be incredibly difficult. I was in one for a while (until he moved in with me), but thankfully we were only 2 hours apart, not across the country! I felt so sorry for her having to struggle through tough cases and then not having anyone to go home to because Joe was never around. But hopefully it will work out with them, because I like their characters together (:
