. Michael, a widower with double digit kids of practically every ethnicity, storms through the streets of NYC hunting a killer as he struggles with.......well, I'm not going to spoil it for you. Pick up Tick Tock and watch time fly by! If you're unfamiliar with James Patterson, here's a few highly recommended reads - Along Came a Spider
, the first Alex Cross novel, 1st to Die
- the first Ladies Murder Club, with the next one called, 10th Anniversary
due out in May and The Quickie
- a stand alone thriller that will knock your socks off and puts Fatal Attraction to shame. Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
, - is semi autobiographical and teaches us about life's juggling - too many balls in the air and you may drop one. For a bit of fantasy, try When the Wind Blows
, about several little kids who can fly. It's one of his all time best sellers and has spawned several other books, for teen readers too. Considering the yarn, it's a pretty good woven tale!I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Patterson back in 2005 at a book signing for Suzanne's Diary....Several questions were asked, including one from yours truly. "Any advice for a struggling writer?" I called out. "Don't quit your day job" he said. " But seriously, just tell a story. Tell a story like you would tell someone about this book signing..."
Patterson's books are fast, thrill a minute, roller coaster rides. Tick Tock being my 66th, I'm anxiously waiting his next book like a child at Christmas waiting for Santa to arrive.
