Title: 2 Sisters Detective Agency
Author: James Patterson, Candice Fox
Published: October 5th 2021 by Grand Central Publishing
Format: Paperback, 416 pages
Genre: Fiction
First Sentence: Prologue. She was a killer. Jacob Kanular knew it, as soon as the girl put the gun to his head.
Synopsis: Attorney Rhonda Bird returns home after a long estrangement when she learns her father has died. There she makes two important discoveries: her father stopped being an accountant and had opened up a private detective agency, and she has a teenage half sister named Baby. Baby brings in a client to the detective agency, a young man who claims he was abducted. During the course of the investigation, Rhonda and Baby become entangled in a dangerous case involving a group of overprivileged young adults who break laws for fun, their psychopath ringleader, and an ex-assassin victim who decides to hunt them down for revenge. (Goodreads)
My Opinion: James Patterson and Candice Fox team together again to bring us the Bird sisters and how the bad choices of their father have created a never-ending week of adventure, revenge, humor, family challenges, fights for dominance, insight from the strangest places, and wacky characters.
There are three or four storylines going on in this book, and as they say, if you do not like one, hold on we will get back to you in a moment. The assassin narrative had me flashing on Ben Affleck in the Accountant, and I could not shake the comparison. Granted, Jacob is not on the spectrum, and Ben was not a family man, but the planning and precisely measured movements of both could not be denied.
For me, Patterson's books are a hit-or-miss reading journey, but this, what I hope is a new series, will have me looking forward to what Rhonda and Baby will be up to next.
