James Patterson has gone off the rails with this book. Revisiting the characters from When the Wind Blows might've seemed like a nice idea since that book is the best selling of all Patterson books. Unfortunately there is nothing new offered with this book. Essenitally the same plot as When the Wind Blows (the children are being stalked by a super-secret madman, while Kit and Frannie try to help). Whereas the Alex Cross series took quite a few books to become tiresome, it's achieved by the second book in this series. I greatly enjoyed the Patterson books of old, when the unexpected often occurred and the endings were unpredictable.....sadly this doesn't live up to his past work.
