The book cover promises that “you”ll never forget the ending”�

So, did this collaboration between James Patterson and J. D. Barker deliver on that promise?
YES! IT DID!


Best Selling True Crime novelist Denise Morrow is writing a book called “The Taking of Maggie Marshall� which will expose NYPD Detective, Declan Shaw as a fraud.

So, WHY, when she called 911, to report a break-in, and the murder of her husband, would she demand that NOBODY but Detective Shaw enter the apartment when Police respond?

Well, now I KNOW, and TRUST ME-you will want to find out!

The book opens with Declan Shaw contemplating SUICIDE, as a train comes barreling down the tracks. The phone call demanding his presence at 211 Central Park West, Apartment 18A has him detouring to that location instead.

And, as this entertaining, fast paced story unfolds you will be wondering WHO is the most clever character of them all!

I’m not telling! 😉

I had not read a James Patterson book in years, but rave reviews had me adding this one. I will be paying closer attention to new releases from here on out!

AVAILABLE NOW!

Thank You to the Chandler Public Library for the loan of both the Audible and written copies! I enjoyed toggling between both formats!
