Riveting and gruesome.
Riveting and gruesome, just the kind of murder story I enjoy and couldn't put it down. Stayed up far too late into the night just reading one more chapter - one of the things I also like about James Patterson's writing is that he has short chapters and you don't feel like you have to read another 40 pages to get to a good stopping place.

Private
Love the "Private" series, but for some reason this did not seem as good as others. Probably me, but I could not really get into the location. However, it is well written and will probably appeal to many other readers

i understand why Paterson is promoting other writers in his short books. however i do think he is taking the mick by using his name first. he should make it clear that he is not the main author. private dellhi is what he does. good solid fiction. Mr Paterson, stick to it. great stuff.

Foreign names galore
I found it difficult keeping up with the names, something I have a problem with, far too many for me , so I didn't really relax while reading it, something I usually read for. Very disappointing for a JP.nook

Great story.
Great storyline. Only thing that I found slightly off putting was the narration. Took a long time to get used to it and although I know it is how people in those positions would speak it was difficult to listen to to start with.

enjoyed it, but not as much as characters in ...
Yes, enjoyed it, but not as much as characters in previous private books. Not so keen on political biased, but still, as usual, well written & good story.
