Another great James Patterson mystery. Could not put it down.
Helpful Score: 1
Typical James Patterson. "The Quickie" is "quick" (pun intended)in that the story moves very quickly through Patterson's use of very short chapters. This is a good story for a long drive since it doesn't require a whole lot of active listening.
According to http://www.jamespatterson.com/ one of every sixteen hardcover novels sold in 2007 was a James Patterson title. Among his 2007 releases was The Quickie, co-written with Michael Ledwidge.
Stephen King called Patterson a "terrible writer" earlier this year and I never imagined I'd be a fan. But now I'm curious about his other novels after experiencing this exciting and exhilarating romp.
Ledwidge did the screenplay for the film "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead", one of my favorites and he too deserves a lot of credit for putting together this top notch suspense/mystery. The ending is a little convoluted but overall this is a must-read (or must-listen for those who get the Audiobook) for fans of the genre.

Really good book. Enjoyed all the twists & turns!
Patterson at his best....full of twists and turns.....heart pounding, non stop thriller...
If you grind through the extremely improbable beginning, it's gets interesting with great twists.
It held my interest, but I wouldn't say "you've GOT to read/listen to it."
This was a great book. As always, held my interest to the very end...
