Wonderful book hard to take a break from; the wonderful world of Holmes, Marple & Poe. This is an easy read. The characters are interesting yet familiar. I pray that there will be more adventures to come.
Interesting characters. Fascinating plot line. Bought right away. And I enjoyed reading it. That’s the good news. To me, written to appeal to a reader used to TV plots and not the mystery novel genre. Not enough principal character development and a lot of fluff. A lot of familiar tropes and no character depth. There was something about the writing style that was a bit off to me. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just felt dumbed down. Still worth a read and maybe in follow up books.
The book was good….not one of my favorite Patterson reads but it was fun and kept my interest. Slow start but keep reading it picks up. If you are a big fan of Patterson I would recommend. However, if you are new to his writing, this should not be the first one you read.
The first James Patterson book I have read. An intriguing tale with interesting character’s. Im still not sure how the Edgar Allen Poe detective fits in.
I took a flier just based on the title. Great writing, good plot. I really enjoyed this book. Mr. Holmes, Ms. Marpls, and Mr. Poe were very entertaining. I hope this was the first of a long series.
The characters are so real, keeps the reader enthralled with their adventures. Makes the reader almost feel as throw he/she is along for the ride.
The characters are mysterious but becoming more known as the book progresses. Lots of action maybe too many different cases going on simultaneously but well written and mostly believable. Interesting romantic tension and realistic friendships
I’m SO looking forward to this series. It has everything that merits a 5+++ star rating. Fascinating characters, insanely creative plot, and just darn perfect writing. As with other Patterson works, you’ll be quickly captured into the characters’s lives and world … and you won’t want to leave. Looking forward to more of this Patterson-Sitts partnership!
