Reseñas de la Crítica

“In this breezy thriller … Patterson and Sitts have fun playing with reader expectations.”—Publishers Weekly

too long and too many plots

rambling plots that eventually come together but had re read earlier chapters to get it. did not do justice to the namesake drecrives

loved the characters

I got so into this book that I listened to the whole thing in 1 day.

Loved it!

I'm a huge fan of James Patterson, and this book was right up there with the best of them! Loved the characters, and can't wait to read more about them in the future!

Wonderful, Engaging Story

I loved every little thing about this audiobook. The plot was gripping, the characters were spot on, and the audio performance was perfect. I was listening to this story at 3 am because I so caught up in the plot. Finished it this morning. Thank you Mr. Patterson.

The narrator was excellent.

The story moves along. The problem is they stereotyped Holmes. He was mostly a sad functioning junky. If they had dropped that part it would've been a much better story. Him thinking he could trust his dealer was foolish. Having him get stoned just prior to a raid was stupid. Them trusting him to not go into withdrawal while they chased a potential killer was also stupid. Having him accidentally shoot himself was crazy. No way Poe and Marple would have trusted him to assist them before he got help. The time the book on the sexcapades of the three was also dumb. The mayor and the police commissioner would not have capitulated so easily once they had kidnapped the three. With such great characters there were a lot better stories to tell. This is a very disappointing story. I expected a lot better.

New Series?

I hope that this is the beginning of a new series.
It has well developed characters and a story line that held my interest.

Two truths and a lie…

Always enjoy a James Patterson novel and this one is no exception. Intriguing enough to keep me interested, yet, lighthearted enough to listen to while driving. Love the whimsy of the protagonists as modern day versions of their namesakes. I hope there will be more in this series.

Interesting continuation of mystery trio

Unique take and beloved mystery characters. Kept my interest throughout the various cases with some shocking conclusions. Need a follow-up to learn what becomes of Holmes and his work to get off heroin.

well written

too many cases, feels like there wasn't enough detail. although all the cases were interesting, the book felt rushed
