James Patterson's & Maxine Paetro's Private

James Patterson’s & Maxine Paetro’s Private

Plot: Former Marine Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned global investigation company. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multi-million-dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of eighteen schoolgirls when a horrific case hits close to home: His best friend’s wife, Jack’s former lover, has been slain.

My Review and Thoughts:

I tell you I don’t know how Patterson does what he does and what he does is often to much. I think every time I go to a book store there is another book of Patterson on the shelf to buy. There is like another new book every month so it seems. So here is another debut of a series with a new character that only Patterson can dream up of. 

Unlike his Alex Cross saga’s and his Women’s Murder Club saga this is a new and different approach. A private investigator with many cases on his mind and his files are piling up. I feel this is a series that will be like all his others and become a true hit with the fans of this type of writing.

I really like how this is such a short read because it needed to be, I finished this book in a day, quick and easy. Patterson and Paetro displays their basic detail. If you’re a Patterson fan your going to love this book.

It truly is a simple story, a story that the reader who is a fan of his style expects and makes. You relate to the characters and they are down to earth. The writing is easy and simple to understand. The book is childish at times in the writing department in that anyone could write this story even a seven year old.

I like the added drama to the story that makes the reader feel and understand the story. It’s jam packed with basic Patterson and really is a boring books at many times.

I think what stands out the most is Jack Morgan and Justine the main star’s of the story. Very interesting and unique and built different from all of Patterson’s other characters. They are very complex. I mean what is there to say about Patterson that already has not been said he is a gifted master of his style and type of books, the basic Five and Dime Books. 

His books are very different and easy to read and builds the dynamic of cheesy suspense and soap opera stories so that the reader can feel entertained and excited by, you don’t have to rack your brain or have to use a text book to understand his stories, they are down to earth simple writes with somewhat simple fantastic mystery and suspense plots that make the fan of his books want more.

I call his work or at least his later work his five and dime novels, meaning they are nothing great and they are worth a dime a dozen. Simple dimple reads of  forgettable plots and forgettable books. I have to say this is one of his worst books on the storytelling reality.
