Genre: Police Procedural
Series: NYPD Red #6
I was beginning to think that James Patterson and Marshall Karp had given up on this series. Long gone were the crimes affecting the rich and the sexual chemistry between ex-lovers and current partners Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan. But not so fast, there is yet another crime, or two, that needs the special attention of the NYPD Red team -- a special task force formed to protect Manhattan’s wealthiest and most influential inhabitants.
Erin Easton, a blogging and social media superstar, just married the son of a modeling agency icon when she was abducted through a secret door in her changing room. From there, the NYPD Red team springs into action. Pressure is coming at them from all sides. The ransom demand is too high for her new husband, and his mother would rather take a nap instead of helping her new daughter-in-law. The team has a lead, but higher-ups ok them not releasing any names, that is until the abductor decides to eliminate a problem.
Now the usual Patterson twist comes into play. But I’m not so sure it was a twist. All fingers pointed to the only suspect left. It might have been a leap to go there, but go there I did because no one else made any sense. And it paid off in the usual Patterson neat little bow with a cherry on top confession. There is a secondary plot, but that lost my interest early on only to be resurrected with a good guy/bad guy chase scene and a let’s tie this up quickly explanation.
Overall, the book isn’t bad. A good bit of mind candy to get you through the weekend.
