Publisher's summary

When NYPD Red arrives at a crime scene, everyone takes notice. Known as the protectors of the rich, famous, and connected, NYPD Red is the elite task force called in only for New York City's most high-profile crimes. And Detective Zach Jordan is the best of the best, a brilliant and relentless pursuer of justice. He puts professionalism above all, ignoring his feelings for his partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald, the woman who broke his heart when they first met in the academy.

But even with their top-notch training, Zach and Kylie aren't prepared for what they see when they're called to a crime scene in the heart of Central Park. They arrive to find a carousel spinning round and round, its painted horses grinning eerily in the early morning dark. There is only one rider: A brutally slaughtered woman, her body tied up and dressed in a Hazmat suit, on display for the world to see.

The victim, a woman of vast wealth and even greater connections, is the fourth in a string of shocking murders that have hit the city. As the public pressure mounts, and political and personal secrets of the highest order hang in the balance, Zach and Kylie must find out what's really behind the murderer's rampage. But Kylie has been acting strange recently—and Zach knows whatever she's hiding could threaten the biggest case of their careers.

NYPD Red 2 is the next outstanding novel in James Patterson's newest series, a thriller that careens through New York City and deep into the psyche of a depraved killer you've never seen before.

Not P's Best Work, but Definitely Worth Listening

I have been a fan of Patterson for many years and I buy nearly every one of his audiobooks. I think the collaborations over the past few year fall short of Patterson's early work with a plot that is not as intricate as the original Patterson books that were solo. However, I did enjoy this book and would recommend it to everyone, even if they have not listened to Patterson before. It is a little slow in spots and fairly predictable, but the reader breathes life into the characters and that enhances the listener's enjoyment. It falls a little short of the original NYPDRED, but that's not uncommon. The first is always the best. I just bought NYPDRED3 yesterday, so hopefully it will be enjoyable too.

Best of the NYPD RED

Any additional comments?

Patterson is usually good, but of these 4 novels, #2 is by far the best.

Stand alone story or continuation, both work

There is enough of a description of the background from the first story to give you an understanding of the history of the two main characters. Yet it doesn't bog you down with too much detail.
I liked the first NYPD RED well enough to buy this second book. The story line is very good. It has suspense and mystery.
There is some relationship issues that I personally don't think add much to the story, as it makes the male kind of "woman whipped" and the female lead is sometimes a pushy jerk. There is a lot of "he said" and"she said" through out the book. I would prefer the reader would use a slightly different voice to differentiate the characters.
All in all, I liked the stories enough, I will be buying the 3rd in this series.
