NYPD Red 3

I read this book out of sequence and loved it! I did not feel as if I didn't know the dynamic between the main characters who are both detective partners and former lovers. Kylie and Zach are part of NYPD Red who handle the rich and famous cases and are expected to be as cooperative and complacent as possible whilst still doing their job.

This book has a decapitated body of a driver and a missing teenager who comes from a wealthy family. We soon learn this was murder and a kidnapping that has many layers to it. I don't want to spoil the twist but man James Patterson never disappoints, definitely worth reading and highly recommended!

I've come to judge James Pattersons' books (as far as the NYPD Red series goes) before reading them. I knew the writing would be...different from other authors'. How should I describe it? I guess I would call it really cut-and-dry. The characters seem to keep talking in clipped sentences, though maybe that was a point since the main characters are cops. However, the civilians spoke in clipped sentences too. I guess it was just too...clinical. I didn't get many feels from this book. :/
And then...there's Zach. I'm trying not to spoil anything, but I guess I've got to say that he's pretty much a dick. His indecision between Cheryl and Kylie is frustrating and gives a bad name to men. Kylie wasn't completely innocent either, the way she put the vibes out. All around annoying. GET OVER EACH OTHER. GET BETTER PERSONALITIES-maybe then you'll get better and more dating options.
