Mysterious Saturday Review: Private London

* Book 2 in the Private series * 
Dan Carter must protect a young girl with a troubled past. When the first happens and she's kidnapped on his watch, he will do everything in his power to save her. Especially after it becomes personal.

His goddaughter was sent to watch over Hannah, to befriend her unknowingly. When she's hurt in the attack, Dan vows revenge of the worst kind to her attackers.

The case takes a turn when his ex-wife reads him in on a body found missing organs. She believes the young woman was murdered and her organs used for transplants.

They share information about their respected cases, wondering if they could be connected. Kristy doesn't mind using Private resources if it means she can get the answer faster. 

Can they figure out the answers before something more horrible happens?

My Thoughts: I really like this series - it didn't feature the same protagonist as the first book, but I didn't mind that.  I liked Dan and how protective he was of both Chloe and Hannah. My heart went out to him because of his past - that moment in the military was heartbreaking. I'm glad that he was able to move past it, even if it did cost him personally. I liked how he had to work with his ex-wife on the case. It was personal for both of them, bringing up issues from the past. Kristy was tough and independent. I loved the twists and turns of this book and trying to keep ahead of them in guessing what would happen next. As a result, this one was hard to put down.

Cover Thoughts: I like this cover -it's not the one I had, which I hated, but then again, it's not the cover that made me pick up the book

Overall Thoughts: If you like thrillers, you can't go wrong with James Patterson. The Private series has enough action and danger to keep you turning the pages as quickly as you can!

Mysterious Saturday Review: Private

Jack, a former military man, has nightmares about his past. There are things he can't remember, decisions he hoped he made correctly. Horrific phone calls each morning from someone force him to constantly relive the pieces of those moments - except when he's on the job.

Jack owns an investigation company, left to him by his father. His team investigates thoroughly, with the best equipment, and sometimes outside the law. Three cases are now the number one priority: an NFL scandal, a serial killer murdering young girls, and the murder of one of Jack's friends.

While Jack and his team investigate these cases, his personal life is a mess. Can he close these three major cases without causing himself any more pain?

My Thoughts: A good fast paced mystery with the classic short chapters, lots of action, and multiple perspectives that kept me turning the pages. Even though I didn't love him as a characters, I wanted to know Jack's secrets. He's intriguing enough to make me want to read more in this series.


Cover Thoughts: I like the bullet hole, makes me want to undercover more details.
