Worst Case by James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
5.0
Yet another brainless but fast-paced action thriller about NY's supercop Michael Bennett. After foiling a hostage situation in St. Patrick's Cathedral and a spree killer's broad daylight attack, it seems that Bennett has becoming the go-to for the city's wildest cases, and this novel covers his wildest yet. A terminally ill madman is kidnapping the children of New York's wealthy and testing them to make sure that they are well-aware of their world. For the kids too vain to care about their world, the madman kills them. But as Bennett - partnered with an attractive FBI agent (cue the sexual tension) - tracks down this madman with few leads, he discovers a madman's far more sinister plan of attack. Like the previous Bennett novels, the exposition is easy to read and the chapters are brief. And like previous novels, it's your brainless eye candy novel with a fantastical and over-the-top climax.
