Synopsis

It's the start of Hollywood on Hudson, and New York City is swept up in the glamour. Every night, the red carpet rolls out for movie stars arriving at premieres in limos; the most exclusive restaurants close for private parties for wealthy producers and preeminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and beautiful faces in the world. With this many celebrities in town, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert-and they can't afford to make a single mistake./br/br Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald-who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend-to discover who the murderer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal, public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes./br/br Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to the last explosive detail. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD Red is the next mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (TIME)/br/br

What can I say about James Patterson that already hasn't been said? People either love him or hate him or love OT hate him. I admit to being a fan. I love the Alex Cross novels and the Women's Murder Club. I am OK with Michael Bennett. I have even enjoyed some of his stand alone books. It doesn't bother me that he has co-authors on a lot of his books now because a good story is a good story no matter who wrote it and at least he gives credit o the authors. He has a writing syndicate which was the case with all the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys etc mysteries that one guy owned and had aa bunch of people whit made up names writing the books for him. I have never read any of the NYPD books until I read NYPD RED his month. When I first started reading it, I wasn't that crazy about the book but as I went along I started to get caught up in the story and would read for a couple hours without stopping. I really liked Zach and Kylie as a team. I liked how the authors let Kylie have an active role in the relationship so she was more than just a bit of fluff or the comic relief in the suspense. Gabriel was a totally insane creepy villain who got his just desserts in the end, or did he? I mean, the conclusion made you thunk he did but he is the Chameleon so who knows? I like to play around with ideas like that and i think Patterson has done that in the past so it wouldn't surprise me. Poor Lexi though...she should have stuck to selling popcorn at the vintage movie house. I liked her despite the fact she was as dumb as toast and didn't seem to get that Gabriel was completely crazy and not in a good way. When you read a Patterson novel you learn he is an equal opportunity killer and not even the good characters are spared violent death. I am glad Spence, Kylie's husband made it out alive but what happened to him made me scream, it was so awful! This book is not for the over-sensitive reader! Patterson loves the shock value and the expansive killing scenes and you get that here too. So I ended up really enjoying it more than I expected considering I wasn't all that excited about it in the beginning. Will I like it as much as Alex Cross or The Women's Murder Club? Probably not but only time will tell and I plan on reading the rest in the series. f
