Having read most of James Pattersons books and enjoyed them all including the previous six in this series, I was not disappointed. This book moves along at a cracking pace and the characters are well scripted and thought out. The way their lives intertwine is interesting and only serves to make the plot more believable. I felt that Lindsay Boxer took a bit of a back seat in this one, but this did not detract from the story which was brilliant. The basic presmise is a series of Arson attacks where rich couples are being burned to death in their own homes. I can't say too much more without giving away the plot, but needless to say it is a fast and furious ride to get to the whodunnit. If you have read the other books then read this one and enjoy. If you haven't read the others, then I suggest you do this in order starting with 1st to Die.
