Mike is fighting the drug war in NYC and then the family goes on a vacation in Maine where his former partner currently lives. He gets drawn into a case there before returning to NYC. ( ) Looked forward to this Patterson book as usually Michael Bennett stories are some of James Patterson's better writings. Unfortunately it was pretty mundane. That is not to say I did not enjoy it but it simply was lacking. There were two stories (plus a Alex Cross and a Michael Bennett previews and a short Michael Bennett novella) and while both were interesting both felt incomplete; something was just lacking. In the first story Bennett's son Brian was heading to trail on a drug charge. It was pretty good writing to Patterson but the story itself just not feel finished, no cliff hanger just an unfulfilling end. In the second part again the story about a drug dealer and the damage he had sown in a rural Maine town just kind of ceased. I guess the ending surprised me as felt a lost lonely teen deeply entwined with the drug dealer and his criminal pursuits would bring more to the Bennett family and make for a future intriguing story. The again, the ending just resolved the story and did not bring the kind of satisfaction I felt it should. Anyone who enjoys the Michael Bennett series will find this acceptable but it is not one of the better ones of the series. Haunted is pretty decent, although I found the start a bit abrupt, Brian being in the process of being charged for dealing drugs had be wondering if I'd missed a book somewhere in the series as I didn't recall the son getting tangled up in that in the earlier books, but maybe I've just forgotten. After Brian is sentenced the Bennett family decide it's time for a holiday and pack up the now 9 children and head off to Maine, to a town where one of Michael's ex-partners from New York now works. Soon enough, he's dragged into circumstances involving missing kids and a local drug dealer; it's a reasonable story although I felt like it took longer than usual to get into the action in this, perhaps that's due to the change from co-writing with Ledwidge to co-writing with James O. Born. At any rate it wasn't terrible, just wasn't up to the level of Worst Case, Tick Tock and Alert which I felt were far more enthralling. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Detective Michael Bennett is ready for a vacation after a series of crises push him, and his family, to the brink. He settles on an idyllic, small town in the beautiful Maine woods, a recommendation from a former colleague. But just when Bennett thinks he can relax, he gets pulled into a case that has shocked the tight-knit community. Kids are disappearing left and right with no explanation -- until several bodies turn up in the woods. As Bennett investigates, he discovers that the seemingly perfect town is reeling from a deadly addiction, and the violence is about to reach a fever pitch. Far from the city streets he knows so well, Bennett faces off against a horrific evil next door that threatens a town, the law, and the family that Bennett loves above all else." -- From Amazon.com.
