Wow!!

What a book!! I need to buy the complete set because I read this first book in a very short time and want to know more of the story!!. I love James Patterson anyway so always enjoy what he writes.

Quick thriller shorts.

Great way to dive back into Patterson via these BookShots series.

Fast paced thriller, as always, it’s well written. Needed a little more to bump up a star. An interesting twist as the kidnap suggested in the title is yet to unfurl.

Throw in a crime family boss, an ex police officer, people recognised in the departure lounge, the scene is set for an interesting read.

A short, quick read focussed on plot, as the first part of a novel, though set out to be basically novellas in a series. Although it is left on a cliffhanger, I don't know if I'll get to the next 4.

KIDNAPPED PARTS 1-5 - @jamespattersonbooks

4⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really enjoyed this series, it was a very light hearted and easy series to read.

Suspense and thriller books, that keep you guessing.

What you see and what you believe at first are not always what is happening or going on in front of you.

kidnapped - Part 1

I enjoy book shots even though they are very short. You can get an idea of where a story is heading

My first experience of Book Shot Short Reads ..

I initially read this two years ago, having stumbled across an e-book version .. the 30 min read set out an interesting storyline and a cliff-hanger ending .. I've been keen to see what happened next ever since, now finding the remaining 4 e-books opinion the Series available from my Library ..

Onto Book 2 ..

While I kind of like the idea of book shots they’re just not engaging. I finished these 5 “books” of 50 pages each but no more for me thanks.m, most with a good 5 pages of filler as well.

I can’t in good conscience add the other for parts to my shelves because they will effect my book challenge totals.

Ace of spades

What can I say, read the book in 15 minutes as was a typical Patterson book, a page turner.
Will get the others in the series was want to know how it ends.
Only problem is I read James Patterson so dam quickly .

Good

Very fast paced and to the point as expected! Interesting story with a very likable main character, will definitely be reading the other parts.. I need to know if everything turns out OK.

[Liam · Rating 3 out of 5]

The main character is a bit of a busy body, but it's what you expect from a Patterson story, at least a Book Shot; fast paced and gripping.

[Z.J Parfitt · Rating 5 out of 5]

All though it's only a short story separated into 4 installments. this definitely goes down as one of my all time best reads

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another thrilling read from james patterson. this book doesn't disappointment and gives a great cliff hanger at the end of the first part.

[Lucinda Tolmie · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Jennifer Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A super suspenseful novella, can’t wait to read the continuation. What great little books to read when you have limited time and just have to get your hands on a book.
