A stunningly brilliant psychopathic killer who has skillfully eluded police from London to Paris to New York. A beautiful woman journalist suddenly in grave danger. An unorthodox New York detective whose motive for stopping the killer couldn't be more personal or emotional.

This is an older Patterson effort, and is quite gripping. Got a couple of weak spots, but his suspense keeps you turning pages.

This book keeps you interested and turning pages from begining to end. All though it's one of Patterson's shorter books, you won't feel disappointed. There is nothing lackluster about this book. All the characters are written perfect, with believable back stories.

There are so many great things in this book. Everything makes sense, and the book doesn't end with any unanswered questions. The scenes in the book help you to really get a feel for the characters, good and bad. The final showdown in the elevator is absolutely amazing.

Patterson's books are always enjoyable reading
and this one is no exception. I could not put it down.
His characters seem to come to life and you feel like your one of their sidekicks.

I am a huge James Patterson fan and have a nice collection of his books. The Midnight Club did not disappoint once I started it like most it was hard to put down for the night. I like to start his books on the week end only so I have the time to finished them end up reading late into the night until I cannot keep my eyes open. Then I can finish it Sunday and know how it ends before another work week.

In the James Patterson style but slightly different from what I am used to reading by him. Story about the NYC Police Dept and their fight against organized crime. Love the small chapters!!! Enjoyed it but not as much as some of his other books.
