love the NYPD Red team! I might like this series more than the Michael Bennett series which is one of my favorites, I can't believe I didn't see this ending coming when it happened which is refreshing, I am jumping right into the next one!!
Great Read! Wow!! What a ride! I think doing a reread of these series finally and doing the audiobooks on the Libby App, these have been like reading them again for the first time and I realized how much I didn't remember this one if I'm being honest here.
But goodness I seriously loved this one like crazy, The story was good, I loved Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald, but mainly Zach even more and was reminded why I loved these characters way too much and wish they were on screen.
So I'm doing a whole new review since I could actually appreciate this one so much more the second time through, So the only thing I can only say again and will probably say again haha is that one day I'm still going to hope in my own little fantasy world that these books are turned into a crime show series and I just want to see both Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald of the NYPD Red task force come to life! Now I seriously can't WAIT to keep doing my reread for these and then seeing that there's ath book coming in hopefully next yearI'm even more stoked and glad to be rereading and now listening to these again.
It would be fair to say I have been underwhelmed by the latest Patterson Franchise offerings, so I was pleasantly surprised to come across this enjoyable police procedural, Not as fluffy and celebrity driven as the first NYPD book, And overall an easytoread thriller, comprising clever character development, steady plot progression and enough twists and turns to maintain the surprise factor, I can only hope this series continues to develop in this manner,
/Stars I dont know where to start the suspense for the hunt of the hazmat killers was a thrill ride and especially since it turned out it wascops who were the killers and I enjoyed every second of it!! Cant wait for bookof the series!! The crime plot in the second book of the NYPD Red series is even better than the first.
I thought I had it predicted and then boom, I was wrong on the two killers, The beginning starts with a retribution killing in the two killers teen years to them becoming vigilante serial killers as adults, It is an interesting story with amusing characters, Love, love the characters of Zach and Kylie! Ill read the next two book in the series to date this week very enjoyable series,
My quick and simple overall: the prologue was great for readers to see how the killers evolved, which leads to a very complete crime plot for readers to read about.
When NYPD Red arrives at a crime scene, everyone takes notice, Known as the protectors of the rich, famous, and connected, NYPD Red is the elite task force called in only for New York City's most highprofile crimes, And Detective Zach Jordan is the best of the best, a brilliant and relentless pursuer of justice, He puts professionalism above all, ignoring his feelings for his partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald, the woman who broke his heart when they first met in the academy,
But even with their topnotch training, Zach and Kylie aren't prepared for what they see when they're called to a crime scene in the heart of Central Park.
They arrive to find a carousel spinning round and round, its painted horses grinning eerily in the early morning dark, There is only one rider: a brutally slaughtered woman, her body tied up and dressed in a Hazmat suit, on display for the world to see,
The victim, a woman of vast wealth and even greater connections, is the fourth in a string of shocking murders that have hit the city, As the public pressure mounts, and political and personal secrets of the highest order hang in the balance, Zach and Kylie must find out what's really behind the murderer's rampage.
But Kylie has been acting strange recentlyand Zach knows whatever she's hiding could threaten the biggest case of their careers,
NYPD Red is the next outstanding novel in James Patterson's newest series, a thriller that careens through New York City and deep into the psyche of a depraved killer you've never seen before.
Most JP books are page turners, but this may be my favourite yet, NYPD Red take on a case of a vigilante killer and its good, Its hard to say more without giving spoilers, but the reveal blindsided me and I read a lot of crime,
Audiobook version is great, Entertaining story to listen to while doing things around the house, Like with most of James Patterson's books, this one reads easily and quickly but slightly predictable with some unexpected twist, Nonetheless, it was an entertaining and fun read, This is the first book from the combo of James Patterson and Marshall Karp that I've read, It was a fastpaced easy read that's typical of Patterson, With this novel, Karp has moved to the top of my list for authors who write under the man who controls a large percentage of book sales,
I liked the characters and concept of a special policing unit that was put together specifically for the rich and shameless,
If you're sharp you'll catch the plot twist near the end I admit the fake sucked me in before I was hit over the head with who the real bad guys were.
Although I held back a star on this one just because it wasn't sensational, it was a fun read, The NYPD Red unit is back for another highthrills adventure, filled with both action and personal character growth, The 'Red' unit is pulled into capturing a serial murderer, labelled the HAZMAT KILLER when a highprofile political operative is found slain early one morning, With only a week left before a contentious mayoral election, all eyes are on the candidates and how the incumbent has handled the three previous murders attributed to Hazmat, After taping a confession for a past crime, victims are murdered and left in a suit to be found by authorities, With four seemingly unconnected victims, Detectives Zack Jordan and Kylie MacDonald are left to draw parallels if they hope to capture this killer before another body emerges, When a highprofile legal case turns out a verdict no one saw coming, Jordan and MacDonald soon learn of a potential fifth victim, whose been kidnapped hours after her release.
While the killer is on the loose, their motives become clear in a parallel motive, all stemming from a childhood experience, While Jordan and MacDonald fight to bring justice to the streets of NYC, they each battle their own personal demons Jordan, a former girlfriend who creeps into his mind, and MacDonald, who wrestles with a drugaddict husband.
Can it all come together in time to save the next victim, or will this all end in disaster for the team, as well as their two brightest
Another thoroughly detailed Patterson novel sure to hook fans and garner new support for this sometimes wayward author.
This novel defies the Patterson cookiecutter process, with longer chapters and therefore more attention to detail, The story flows well and the mystery is equally as enticing as many of Patterson's former series, Karp injects an interesting spin, keeping the parallel authoritiescriminal narrative, but delves even deeper into the back stories of both sets of characters, This helps raise the quality of Patterson's novels, which have suffered a bland sense over the past
number of years,
Kudos, Messrs. Patterson and Karp for your exciting novel, It will keep me curious for the third instalment of the series, on its way soon,
NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan and partner Detective Kylie MacDonald were hunting for a missing person when they were called to a carousel in the centre of New York City.
Their missing person had been found her brutally murdered body was riding the carousel in the early hours of the morning, With her being a very high profile woman with political connections, Red was swiftly put onto the case, Immediately Zach and Kylie tied the latest murder to three others it seemed the city had a vigilante serial killer who was getting the criminals of the city off the streets.
The Hazmat killer had struck again
The investigation went into panic mode as the mayor was up for reelection in a week the killer had to be found or the mayors job was on the line.
Zach and Kylie couldnt stand the politics of the job find the killer before he struck again was their job, and they were determined to get it done, But it seemed there was a whole lot more to it than originally thought, And with Kylie having problems of a personal nature problems she would not divulge, it felt to Zach that the smooth running of their team was missing, Would NYPD Red be able to find the Hazmat killer before he struck again
I thoroughly enjoyed NYPD Red by James Patterson, As usual with Pattersons thrillers, they were fast paced and filled with tension, I had my mouth dropping open with shock at one stage of the book so not expected! A great action packed novel that I have no hesitation in recommending,
Couldn't put this book down from the minute I started reading it, This is one of the better Patterson books that I have read this year, The story flowed seamlessly and the twist in the plot was brilliant, I didn't see it coming, I enjoyed the first book in this series but this one hooked me, Think this is going to turn out to be a great series, Can't wait for the next one to come out, Loved the second installment of the NYPD Red series! On to therd book, I love listening to the audible book and loved it! Its amazing how Mr, Patterson pulls you into the story, The narrator is doing a wonderful job!,
