NYPD Red is a special task force charged with protecting the interests of Manhattan's wealthiest and most powerful citizens. When a world-famous movie producer is poisoned on the first day of a Manhattan film festival called Hollywood on the Hudson, they are the first ones called. Then an actor is killed on the set of a film. And a Molotov cocktail explodes at a movie premiere. Detective First Grade Zach Jordan and his new partner--and ex-girlfriend--Detective Kylie MacDonald are assigned to the case. The killer has every murder, every escape, planned down to the last detail--and he's scripted an explosive finale that will bring New York and Hollywood to its knees. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD RED is a mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (TIME)

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this more than expected. The past few Patterson books I've read have been firmly around three stars, but this one caught my attention and was an entertaining read. Maybe because I read it on the plane
I was trying to figure out what I liked about this series that I didn't with the Cross ones.I think - don't quote me - that this read has a little more filling. Especially to the cases. Zack and Kylie are more hands on, running from site to site and tossing ideas back and forth which draws the reade...
3.5 starsNote to self: The blurb is enough to act as reminder about the whole story.Technicality: 1st person POV for Zach, but 3rd person POV for the others.Thoughts:First, I find it interesting that the main narrator's partner used to be his ex-girlfriend in the academy but she is now happily marri...
