Second book in the Private series was as good as the first. We listened to the audio book on a trip and it kept our interest the entire time. Jack Morgan not only has to solve the crime, but finds himself the suspect in his ex-girlfriends murder.

Why do I keep picking up Patterson's books? I think it is because I like the short-chapter, fast-paced style that Patterson is known for. As for content, well.....

Very interesting, as usual , from the beginning. Kept my interest and it was not the usual type you figure out half way in.
Good writing.
