Review by Library Journal Review
Mega-best-selling author Patterson returns with another fast-paced thriller set against the backdrop of New York City. Co-author Karp (with Patterson, Kill Me If You Can) helps serve up typical Patterson drama with a serial killer on the loose and a cop at the top of his game determined to take the killer down. Detective Zach Jordan and his ex-girlfriend and fellow detective Kylie MacDonald are part of NYPD Red, a special task force assigned to cover the Hollywood on the Hudson festival. Unfortunately, an unknown and unstable actor decides to use the event to steal the spotlight from the rich and famous by committing horrific high-profile crimes. VERDICT Actor Edoardo Ballerini, a 2013 Audie Award nominee, reads, adding tension and suspense. Patterson does not depart from what has made him the top-selling author he is today. NYPD Red has a hero to root for, a devious villain, and lots of action. Patterson fans will enjoy. [The Little, Brown hc was a New York Times best seller.-Ed.]-Theresa Horn, St. Joseph Cty.
