Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson both write gripping suspense novels characterized by clever plot twists, memorable characters, menacing atmospheres, psychological overtones, and often nightmarish qualities. -- Kim Burton

Though there's no doubt that James Patterson is the better-known author, both he and James Siegel use similar writing styles--short chapters and paragraphs--to keep the tension high. Both authors also feature twists and turns, which fuel fast-paced plots. -- Shauna Griffin
Both authors' books are practically guaranteed to hit the bestseller lists, whether they are written for adult or youth audiences.

While Attica Locke's writing focuses on atmosphere and James Patterson's is more plot-driven, both create a variety of twisty and surprising cases in their compelling mystery thrillers. -- Stephen Ashley

Published Reviews
Publisher's Weekly Review
In chapter one of Patterson and Paetro's lackluster second novel featuring Jack Morgan (after 2010's Private), Morgan, the founder of an L.A. investigative firm "with clients all over the map who demanded and paid well for services not available through public means," returns home to his mansion from an overseas trip to discover the blood-soaked body of his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Molloy, in his bed. Whoever shot Molloy, who tried to kill herself six months earlier at the time of their breakup, has planted evidence incriminating Morgan. Before alerting the police, Morgan has forensic expert Dr. Sci and tech geek Mo-bot comb the scene, but his delay in reporting the crime only makes him more of a suspect to the LAPD. Unrelated subplots, including a serial killer who leaves his victims in different locations of a hotel chain, serve only to add to the book's length. An evil identical twin doesn't help with plausibility. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
