I can't read now, I had a stoke

getting to know the character

they make the character come live

three

Little did I know that this is the book where Maive dies and Mary Catherine show up on the doorstep to help out with the 10 kids, 11 counting Mike, 12 counting Shamus. the storyline was very good so I would definitely suggest reading it for people who need reviews to help them

any other Michael Bennet and his 10 kids are in

they were excellent (and I'm picky)

I wasn't sure about the 'dual author' thing, but this was a great story. It kept me intrigued until the very end, and I didn't figure it out early, as sometimes happens. I /really/ liked the use of two different narrators. It helped differentiate the point-of-view right away, which in an audio book can sometimes be a little difficult. The use of two very disparate voices definitely helped me, as a listener, switch gears between the villain and Bennett. Looking forward to reading more of this series!

Yes, if you like Patterson books. His books are hit or miss with me, and this was a solid hit. Not as good as "Kiss the Girls" or "Jack & Jill", but pretty close.

Yes. It was hard to tell where the story was going, or guess what is going to happen next. Classic James Patterson plot. You didn't realize why something was happening until after a plot line was revealed. I also thought the "bad guys" in this story were some of his best since his earlier works.

The bad guy escape from the church. I didn't see how they were going to escape until it happened. The entire time I was trying to guess how, but I didn't get it right.

No.

Like most of Patterson series the first book is almost always the best, and I would say that about this book. I wouldn't call it a classic but it was a solid book. I haven't read any other books in this series but I might down the road.

Didn't expect that

Mike! He is am amazing cop who has such an amazing family. She family really makes him who he is

Hostage situation during Christmas, 10 kids.... And u think u had problems

Whoever heard of a detective mystery and suspense book in which the protagonist's life evokes so much empathy and compassion from the reader. This is a really great book for both suspense and the reality of a cop's daily life. It makes one want to meet the detective! As always Patterson's books call out of usthe ability to feel both suspense and human compassion.

I really enjoyed having the two voices narrating the novel. Made it all the more enjoyable. I love James Patterson and this is a good one.

Another James Patterson classic well worth the listening. Highly recommended as with many of his books.

Yes I would it was wonderful I just couldn't turn it off.

Yes I couldn't figure it out and I love it when that happens since a lot of times I can.

I can't pick a favorite I loved them all.

Yes I both laughed and cried.

Having read many of James Patterson's novels with solid **** ratings and more than a few ***, I was surprised to find a novel of exceptional quality. The characterization was fantastic and the story enthralling. I don't reread may books; I could't count the number of times I have returned to this title.

Excellent presentation!
