o all the James Patterson stans, I have one question: This is your king? Seriously!? I really disliked how Patterson wrote most of the characters in this book. The one character who was supposed to be the focal point—the most interesting one—was completely underwhelming. I was left wanting so much more. 

 

It’s a shame because the Gary Soneji/Murphy storyline had so much potential. Hopefully, the screen adaptation (the real reason I pushed through this book) can redeem it. 

 

2 stars.
