Just might be the best Patterson ever! I've been reading James Patterson's books for years but somehow missed this one. I may have skipped the best one ever. Patterson is clearly at his best.

You'll stay up until you finish as the suspense just keeps on building and the plot twists keep on coming. I love it!
