Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:#1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson weaves a suspenseful tale of a powerful mobster who runs up against a very determined cop and his faithful crime fighters.
A stunningly brilliant psychopathic killer who has skillfully eluded the police from London to Paris to New York. A beautiful woman journalist suddenly in grave danger. An unorthodox New York detective whose motive for stopping the killer couldn't be more personal or emotional.
All bound by the chains of secrecy, wealth, and crime formed by the cabal called The Midnight Club.
"The Midnight Club is the novel I wrote just before Along Came A Spider. I'm certain that both Alex Cross and Sampson originated in ideas I had while writing this story. It's one of my favorites." - James Patterson.

For the author’s self-assessment that this was one of his best books by that time, I found it especially lackluster. The characters were solid, but the plot resolved through relatively minor action by the protagonist. It was also overwritten in a few places, as if to fill the target word count. ( )

For years, I have heard of James Patterson's wonderful books and have watched a couple of the movies based on his books - Along Came A Spider and Kiss the Girls were amazing. However I wanted to start off with one of his stand-alone books rather than get involved with yet another series at the moment. (The Alex Cross books are on my TBR list, perhaps after I finish the Bosch Universe).

This manuscript started off with a bang, literally, the main character gets shot by the antagonist.

The protagonist is John Stefanovitch and he is an NYPD Lieutenant, and the opening chapter starts with John being part of a task force tasked with taking down "The Grave Dancer".

This story has twists and turns, some believable if you are one of those who believe it is possible for a Criminal Cabal that has their fingers in the underworld around the globe.

One thing I had a problem with was that after Stefanovitch is shot, he does not take disability, he continues to be a police detective. Suspending belief in this took a little work on my part. But while the Detective is physically impaired he is still able to investigate and use his mind and connections. This plot device was years ahead of its time as it showed the physically disabled are still able to contribute to society.

I did love that while this is not a romance or a subgenre of romance, there is a romantic element to the storyline.

If you like your police procedurals hard, your characters fully fleshed out and your criminals truly evil, this book is for you!

I really enjoy his books and this one was no exception. I found myself immediately into the story and not wanting to put the book down. ( )
