I usually only like women authors but a friend recommended The Women's Murder Club and I listened to all 12 in record time.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? The feeling of being there with the characters What does John Slattery bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book? What was one of the most memorable moments of Step on a Crack? If you could sum up Step on a Crack in three words, what would they be? If you want an easy listen then I recommend this book. The characters a little exciting but I had wished that there was a good dose of some thriller scenes.
STEP ON A CRACK by James Patterson is good read, but not a super read. Still I couldn't connect to this super father and hero. There was Michael dealing with the chaos at home, while at the same time dealing with the hostage situation. As I read on I found that Patterson was able to weave Michael's love for his wife, Maeve, and their children into many sensitive, believable scenes. Ten Children? Yes that's correct 10 children! At this point I thought Patterson was strettttching the Brady Bunch a bit too much to enhance the devotion of this character, but I read on. His beloved wife is terminally ill with cancer and he is left caring for their ten children. Meanwhile, his personal life is in turmoil. Enter Michael Bennett, a detective for NY Police Department, and he is forced into the role of negotiator. He had a knack for dropping little traits about these characters until after awhile I found myself really caring about what will happen to these people. Patterson developed the hostage characters very well. Unfortunately, a group of men take them hostage and will do anything to meet their private objectives. In general the story starts off with the death of Caroline Hopkins, a former First Lady and her funeral is attended by the cream of the crust, consisting of the most influential and wealthiest individuals at the Saint Patrick's Cathedral.
