APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The game is afoot when three mysterious private eyes with famous names get involved with high-profile crimes in NYC. Brendan Holmes, Margaret Marple, and Auguste Poe join forces to investigate the kidnapping of a rich teen and her stepfather; the purloining of a priceless pair of books; a gruesome cellar full of skeletons; and corruption at the city’s highest levels—all much to the annoyance of the NYPD and the FBI. James Patterson and Brian Sitts have created a fun new team of PIs with superior powers of deduction who live up to the reputations of their namesakes, whether they’re matching wits with a professional art thief, tracking down serial killers, or unraveling fraud in the mayor’s office. Holmes, Marple & Poe is a delight for James Patterson fans and the old-school mystery crowd alike.
Customer Reviews
Holmes, Marple & Poe
Very entertaining, a fast and fun read
Looking forward o the rest.
Meh
While character development is strong, there are too many disconnected, implausible “connect the dots” incidences. Would have been much better if there were fewer cases. Also, creating a high-functioning heroin addict (Holmes) is a real stretch.
Amazing
Fast paced, packed with lots of memorable primary and secondary characters. Beautifully written. Love it!
