A pair of serial killers is on the loose in Europe killing newlyweds. A father of one of the victims is on their tale from the USA. He befriends a reporter and together they try and track down the killers together.
The murderers send postcards of their killings and bizarrely they pose their victims as great works of art.
We are slowly dripfed information about the killers and it is apparent that there are precedents in their lives to these killings. Once this becomes known it is all a bit predictable. At one point the killers are arrested and the pretty unbelievably realeased.
Cannot say I enjoyed this too much, the middle (the release of the killers) is not explained very well, their backgrounds would also lead an idiot to arrest them (although half of Europe and the USA's cops missed this angle!) and it is all a bit silly. I get the impression that with this novel James Patterson is just filling his book deal.
Not good for me and 5/10
