    Most of the books these days, with Patterson's name on them, were NOT written by Patterson...
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2015*

I agree with another reviewer: One star is being generous. The characters are insipid; bland; boring and not original. The dialogue is so stupid as to induce cringes. There are a couple of scenes in the book where I wanted to scream when I read them. One was a description of the hero's car accident, wherein he climbs out of the wrecked car and is given the forensic report on the other driver. Really? How fascinating. I know things happen slowly here in the states with regard to crime scene investigation, but to find out that the Aussies can gin up a forensic report AT THE SCENE is positively embarrassing.Another scene which doesn't pass muster: one of Private's richie-rich clients (are there any other types?) is being threatened with a very sharp object, and is being held down by the assailant. The Private detectives burst in, and then just STAND THERE. Doing nothing. Watching. In fact, the narrative goes like this "...and Johnny and Darlene realized the best thing they could do was nothing." Holy carp! If I am paying these dolts tons of money, and I am being threatened with being filleted like, well, a carp, I would hope my 'protectors' would do SOMETHING, except watch. A final scene that begs credulity... the perpetrator of the main crimes is holding a VIP at knife point. The cops are behind her, about 10 feet, guns drawn. She doesn't know they are they there. Do they shoot? Do they act like cops in any way? NO! They simply stand there, too!This was an ignorant story written by a lame-brain. Do NOT waste your money or time on this dreck. BAD, BAD, HORRIBLE!

    FOR ME, MEDIOCRE
  

*by G***G on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2014*

Eversince James Patterson started putting his name on the writing of one if his apparently slew of writing people, you really never know what you are going to get.. I wish he would either write as he used to, or retire.. but I guess when you have a name, you can market it..So this book for me was mediocre at best.. The first 50-60 pages were so discombobulated that I almost stopped reading.. Decided to finish because I had nothing better to read..Sad really, since Patterson was one of my absolute favorite murder mystery writers.. For me he is following a path of Daniel Steel, once they start popping a book avery two monte it seems, its time to just stop buying and reading..

While having an office is Australia may be good for Private, it isn't all that good for the reader.  I have no objections to swearing, cussing, if you prefer, but there was too much in the early chapters in the book.  Much of it was unnecessary and forced.  This usually indicates that the author cannot get its blankey-blank together and write.  It isn't any different than authors who include a paragraph or two of over-described sex.The story could be good, but there was too much bouncing between scenes.  Some parts were really stretched.  Some of the writing sounded like the author found a beginner's book on writing descriptive sentences.  Too much!What happened to the Thorogood kids after the run in with Julie's playing around with makeup?  The whole Julie/Greta thing just jerked the reader around.  The whole book did.Maybe 3 stars is more appropriate.
