THE QUICKIE—James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge—117 Chapters and 357 pages, wide margins, large font, wide line spacing, indeed a “Quickie” multiple murder mystery. Giving her husband a ‘taste of his own medicine’ by having an affair with a co-worker, our ‘heroine’ witnesses a murder and is forced to resolve it. The plot is thick with hidden difficulties and traps which often she’s inadvertently set herself, mixed with which confrontations with characters who are all not quite who they seem to be. A fun read, but “ a quickie”.
