I was disappointed with this one-too much going on and hard to keep track of all the characters and which story they are involved with--3 story lines

1. sex addict
2. bombing
3. poker game robbery

I think the bombing was maybe the main storyline but they all were so intertwined and overlapping that is was kind of a confusing mess, so many characters in each one that you have to stop and think 'now which storyline am I reading?'

The bombing story took a turn that made it more ridiculous in each chapter and I started skimming over that one it just got tiresome

I got tired of the relationship between the detectives being repeated over and over and over, it's okay to give background in the beginning to throughout the entire book? give us a break and move on!

I'm not the Patterson fan I used to be I think he has too many irons in the fire and maybe doesn't read what his co-authors are writing and try to edit some of it into a more interesting tighter story
