I've seen Patterson's name on the best seller list for as long as I can remember and this was the first book of his that I have read, and perhaps I experienced a case of "higher than deserved expectations" or perhaps this is not the author's best work, but I thought the book was just ok.

On of the reviews on the back cover claim to make Patricia Cornwall books look like a fairy tale: I've had nightmares from reading Cornwall's books and in my opinion, they make "1st to Die" look like a fairytale in comparison.

Overall, it was entertaining enough, but not the page turner the reviews promised. The story was fairly predictable and the characters were ordinary and in sometimes quite boring. I don't think I'll be picking up the next book of the series...
