The Postcard Killers by James Patterson

The Postcard KillersThe Postcard Killers by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads Synopsis:

Paris is stunning in the summer

NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him--he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter's killer.

The killing is simply marvelous

Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim.

Wish you were here

Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm--and they think they know where the next victims will be. With relentless logic and unstoppable action, The Postcard Killers may be James Patterson's most vivid and compelling thriller yet.

My Review:

Ah, another successfully entertaining and well-written James Patterson book, of course with the help of Liza Marklund.

Sometimes I think I like his books that are not apart of a series. This story had all the right ingredients for a quick, thrilling read. As a reader, I became invested in the lives of Dessi and Jacob, both professionally and romantically. The ending was nice and could have gone either way. A happy ending or a tragic ending, and either would have been just as satisfying.

I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in a quick read with shocking details, and for those who enjoy a JP book.
