Reading is a strange force in my life. I can go a long time in between books, but once I start I just want to read, read, read. I am currently on a reading kick, so last night I finished Private by James Patterson.
Private is similar to other Patterson novels. It has short chapters, a myriad of cast members in the book, twists and turns, and just when you think you might have a clue it all changes.
Private is a private investigating firm, apparently one of the best in the business. They have all the technology they could possibly think of, employees with fantastic skill sets, and money to burn. Private seems to be the beginning of a series for Patterson (much like the Women's Murder Club and Alex Cross series). The firm picks up three involved and complicated cases: a football fixing scheme, a serial killer hunt, and exonerating an old friend of murder.
It wasn't the best written novel of our time and it was predictable in that you knew a certain way the Patterson and his crew tend to write, but it was a fun read and it kept me hooked. If you like the suspenseful writings of Patterson, this book will not disappoint.
While this book won't count toward my 2013 reading challenges, I figure there is no reason not to post it here.
