Critic reviews
"Not many writers can smash out blockbuster books back-to-back, but one name is leaps and bounds ahead in the juggernaut literature stakes: James Patterson. Known for his lightning-fast plots, cliff-hanger chapters and encyclopaedic crime scene knowledge, James has created the foundations for an unforgettable new drama series." (Mail Online)

Enjoyable thriller with rich characters
First Patterson book I've read and I can already see why his thrillers have gained popularity. The story here is simple enough - a serial killer leaves clues about his next victims with a playing card, so a professor and detective team up to catch him. The strength of the book lies in the characters - the protagonist is well developed with an intriguing background and touching relationship with his partner.
Occasional clichés are my only criticism - why is it that professors in these type of novels always seem to be good friends with the worlds greatest computer hacker? It felt a bit too convenient and didn't really add much to the plot.
The narration was spot on and the book is easy to get in to. I wish it had been a bit longer, I look forward to the follow up.
