CHASE- BOOK REVIEW
|
|
Chase is a fast-paced novella released under James Patterson's pocket-friendly "Book Shots."
This is the first Michael Bennett story I have read. Here Michael is investigating the death of a man who has jumped off a tall tower, or so it appears. It looks like a suicide but until the forensics team digs out a mysterious piece of paper from the dead man's tummy. The starting chapter was pretty cool; two mysterious hit-men confronting a man, followed by a small cat and mouse game leading to the death of the latter.
There isn't much backstory here — obviously — because this is a novella. The narrative style is a typical Patterson — fast-paced, crisp dialogues and with not that much of a regard for language. When Michael finally starts to piece out the mysterious death of the victim, I found the climax a wee bit rushed up and absolutely far-fetched. But nevertheless, it's still entertaining. If you are looking for a quick adrenaline rush, this book is for you.
