James hits the nail on the head with new novel.
Plot: When Sydney police department sex crimes detective Harriet Blue is called into her boss’s office, she never imagined it would be to tell her that her brother is the prime suspect in the brutal murders of three women. Shocked and in denial, Harry is transferred to Perth to avoid the media exposure this case will attract. Harry is sent into the outback – the never never – to investigate the disappearance of mine worker Danny Carter. The mining town is a seedy place, full of money and immoral ways to spend it. As Harry delves deeper into the murky lives of these miners, she finds that Danny isn’t the first to go missing.
Remarks: I don’t know if my standards have risen or if I’m being too harsh, but the recent books I’ve read by James Patterson have been rather disappointing. However, I’m happy to say that the author is back to his former glory as he teams up with Candice Fox for his new book ‘Never Never’. This is the first novel in his new ‘Harriet Blue’ franchise alongside Candice – and it’s a breath of fresh air. This time around, the stories had so many twists and turns which kept me hooked on every word written. The character development was one I enjoyed more than any book I’ve read recently. I really felt like I grew with Harriet and the rest of the characters. Their journey was unbelievable and I really felt myself going through it with them – something any writer hopes for when writing a book. I did, however, find the ending a bit bizarre and almost incomplete but, after reading the book, it’s almost expected. James is back in the game – and he did an awesome job on this new book.
Rating: 4/5
