I have read the book The Quickie by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge and find it a fast- paced novel and one hard to put down. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book. His novels are usually full of short chapters and interesting characters. Many of his novels are quite brutal in description of murder and mayhem, I didn't find this to be so in Quickie. I did manage to read the entire book in one evening, so there wasn't a lot of back tracking on my part to clarify something. For the main character everything goes wrong, nothing is as it seems. You, the reader, are fearful of her losing everything that means something to her. It is not a book filled with torture and slashing like some of his other novels, although there is one scene that is brutal, I can't think of any other. I think you will enjoy this slight change of pace from his Cross series or the Womens Murder series, and I think you will enjoy it, I did and I liked the other series as well.

Patterson does it again. As a reader this was a great story with tons of action and suspense. As a cop it was a little unbelievable. But that's OK. still a good read.
I am an avid audio book fan and this writer my favorite. This was my first purchase thru ebay and the price was far less then the bookstore. I bid on it won it received it in amazing time. The condition was like I picked it up at the store at half the price. My experiences have me shopping for gifts and more of these items every day now.
Did not care for this book. It was not very interesting and the plot overly simple. Not a typical James Patterson effort and his being the author was the reason I purchased the DVD.
I just finished this novel and have to say I enjoyed it. I have found that James Patterson's books recently (when co-authored as most are now) just don't seem to have that "edge" that they used to. This one does. I can usually figure out plots and twists in mysteries but this one kept me guessing. Pick it up, you'll enjoy it.
This is an intense book. I loved the way it kept me hanging at every turn. The ending is very unexpected. I have listened to it about 3 times if not more. This is one of my favorate books!
One of Pattersons best to date. Moves along with plenty of plot twists and turns. Exciting and hard to turn off. Hope Patterson does more of this type of mystery. Reader did an excellent job with clear and concise interpatation of the script.
I've read alot of James Patterson and this has been the very best. The action is constant, more twists and turns then the best roller coaster and just when you think you've arrived at the end it sends you for another loop. I only wish it were alot longer, I would have loved for it to go on and on. Mary Stuart Masterson is a supreme narrator, and as you know that can make or break an audiobook. Two thumbs up...all the way!
