Suspense

Enjoyed this awesome story.
Good read. ( )

This it the 10th Private book and was not one of my favourites. It started strong but fizzled near the end. Once again Private is involved in a couple of situations simultaneously. Craig Gisto leads the way again while dealing with his cousin Mark who is with the police. The main case involves the disappearance of Eric Moss. His daughter Eliza is convinced something has happened to him and Private is hired to find him. At the same time, Private does an extensive background check on a surrogate who turns up dead just after the information is passed on. The baby she is watching disappears from her home and Private is right in the middle of the investigation with the assumption that the people they gave the information to are the kidnappers. Suddenly there appears to be a cover up in the disappearance of Eric Moss as well as a fraud investigation into his company. It is revealed that the company was involved in top secret government work and questions fly about who Eric Moss really is. Suspenseful, but the ending seems rather abrupt and not what I expect from James Paterson. ( )

Not as exciting as the other Private novels, and also a bit confusing. I was a little disappointed. ( )

3.5 stars. Not the best from Patterson but its still a good read. I'm used to an action packed book and this has less than normal but still a good thriller. I do like the different branches of Private and have now read quite a few from the series. Its nice to get away from Jack Morgan and get to know different characters.
Still a good read, even though not my favourite. ( )
