Book Review: Now You See Her by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge


Another in the James Patterson novels to complete his mega-deal and this one shows a bit. The book is nicely written but the suspension of reality is too much really.

The plot centres on a young woman who is deceived by her boyfriend, gets drunk then takes his car. She kills someone while driving drunk and a friendly policeman covers up for her and takes her under his wing.

They get married and everything seems set fair. Then she finds out some things about her husband and he is too good to be true. She escapes from him and a serial killer and starts a new life with her daughter.

Her past catches up with her and she is dragged back to Florida Keys to face up to reality and her own past. Plenty of thrills and spills on the way and I am sure that you would enjoy this as a holiday read, but not one of the better James Patterson novels.

7/10 for me.
