You and your production editor may think that this adds 'mystique' or 'character' or a 'third voice' to the production. Let's get this over right away - STOP the stupid music in your audiobooks. I was, truly, captivated from the beginning all the way through to the final pages. Patterson and Ellis for this wonderful tale. If only Patterson would step away from his need to bask in subpar literary glory and focus on collaborating with some superior authors like Ellis, fans and new readers alike would find pleasure rather than a continued sense of despair when opening a Patterson novel.

As a team, Patterson and Ellis create an eerie sense of doom and action that cannot be replicated in a simple Alex Cross or Lindsay Boxer novel. The ideas are fresh and the characters have depth, leaving the reader to yearn for more as each short chapter comes to a close. In both recent novels bearing his name as co-author, the contribution Ellis makes to the stories infuse much into Patterson's work, helping it surpass even the popular Patterson series.

Patterson has found the secret ingredient to boost his dwindling success at producing worthwhile novels David Ellis. Patterson's excellent piece of thriller fiction is not to be missed, as it rises above much of the literary attempts labelled with the author's moniker. Emmy and Books rush across the country to stop the spree, while the murderer remains one step ahead, with an audio diary of his own, hinting at his motive and rationale behind the killings. After Emmy secures one strong clue, the case falls into place and the FBI is finally interested rushing to keep the body count from getting any higher. When it falls flat, Emmy must come to terms that this murderer, as sly as he is cunning, may get away with over fifty murders while the authorities are none the wiser. While she tries to convince Harrison "Books" Bookman of the theory, her past beau, he helps her pitch the idea to the Assistant Director. She as been anything but idle during that time, concocting a theory that a number of house fires across the US, deemed accidental, are actually elaborate murder scenes, whose victims are slain in such a way that it appears the killer must be 'invisible'. Emmy Dockery is an FBI analyst with a past one that has her on suspension as she deals with the death of her twin sister in a house fire. In another stellar Patterson novel (more on his secret ingredient below), readers are treated to some wonderful narrative and a powerful plot to keep the story fast-paced and thrilling to the end.
