Unfortunately, this book does not live up to the previous ones in the series. There are several VERY unrealistic scenarios throughout the book.
WARNING - SPOILERS!
First, Lindsay returns to active duty after about a week of maternity leave. Secondly, an intern within the police department is allowed access to a potential crime scene that would never happen in real life. Further, a very senior FBI official allows an imprisoned felon to accompany the police not once, but twice to potential crime scenes after deceiving the police many times. Again, this would absolutely never happen in real life. Finally, after the birth of her first baby, Lindsay has a brief visit with the "Women's Murder Club" (of course at their favorite restaurant), but that is it for the entire book. Really? After something that life-changing, the girls aren't there for her as she goes through a very harrowing time in her life? Give me a break!
I found myself repeatedly questioning how truly unbelievable the story was in many instances, and how it seemed to be a rush to finish writing the book without providing enough character details. Then again, what should I expect at this point from James Patterson - his books seem to all be getting like that as he gets older.

If you're a fan of John Sandford, and the Virgil Flowers series in particular, then this is a good read. Virgil has to deal with a kidnapping of rare tigers at the zoo, and meanwhile an issue much closer at home pops up as well. This is a definite page-turner from start to finish.

Having read all of Lecroart's Dismas Hardy series, this one was a bit different, but still kept me in suspense right to the end. The characters are different, but the setting (San Francisco) is still familiar. Definitely recommend.

This is a very good series so far. I haven't read Candice Fox before these books, and so far I'm impressed, and will probably read some of her other books because of these. She develops her characters, and you definitely connect with them.

One of Connelly's best Bosch novels to date. Both Connelly and Bosch seem to be getting better with age!

This is one of the best books in the Harry Bosch series. Michael Connelly has done it again. Unlike other authors who tend to rehash the same story line from book to book, Connelly has continued to evolve Bosch from one book to the next. This time around, Harry works a case on his own as a PI, but also solves another case for the San Fernando Police Department (SFPD). Connelly expertly weaves both of these story lines together, and gets some significant face time in this book for Harry's half-brother Michael Haller (the Lincoln Lawyer), still doing business out of the back of his car. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and highly recommend it.
