So, I bet you're thinking it's a detective book? Yes, it is! The book features three private detectives, all sporting very familiar last names. But, no one knows them or where they've come from. I love how the authors have given our three protagonists both the skill sets - and the weaknesses - of each fictional sleuth.
The book is set in modern day New York City. Perfect, as there's loads of room for many cases. Patterson and Sitts have written quite a few crimes that keep our private eyes quite busy. Some cases are larger than others, but I enjoyed the solving of each and every one. They use new technologies along with the old - observations, deductions, conversations, memory and more.
Short chapters and fast dialogues are found in all of Patterson's books and this latest is no different. Added in is a burgeoning romance. And the fourth character and supporting player in the book is a NYC Detective. It's very easy to throw your support between Holmes, Marple and Poe. And just as easy to dislike the antagonists.
Holmes, Marple and Poe was an easy entertaining read. I do hope there are plans for this book to be the first in a series. See for yourself - read an excerpt of Holmes, Marple & Poe.
