Book Review: Worst Case by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge

This is another in the Michael Bennett series (number 3) that I really like. The genial Irish American detective with the ten adopted children. Having read the other novels, it is great to catch up on Bennett's home life as well as the unfolding crime story.

The crime story is centred around someone kidnapping children with rich parents. His goal appears to be to find out if the parents know the price others pay for their lifestyle of privilege? If they get the answer wrong then he kills the child.

Bennett chases this criminal down in the full spotlight of the media. The heat is on and he is assisted by FBI agent Emily Parker. She links up in his romantic life too, as well as his housekeeper vying for his affections too, his home life is often as complicated as his working one.

Great stuff and 8/10 for me. Hopefully a new Michael Bennett novel will be out soon!
