my favourite series of James Patterson. Got fed up after reading 3 Alex Cross. Read the first 20 of Women's Murder club, which I enjoyed. LOVE Michael Bennet series; read all the first 14, so thanks for this audiobook. I have not had the time to read it yet, but love the story. THanks.
Another good story by James Patterson AND … James O Born. So many by Patterson on UA-cam and yet frustrated that I can’t get all the Breakfast Club or Alex Cross or the Private series. What a prolific writer. The narrators are always good
This book is called obsessed but the only thing the author is obsessed with is this ludicrous family. I much prefer Harry Bosch he is no Ward Cleaver like this goody two shoes dad but he tries despite being a total bad-A.
Good story, but the ridiculous, fantasy-family dynamics were annoying. 10 kids, and everyone is happily at the dinner table for loving conversation over gourmet food every night. Uh-huh. 🙄
What a cynic! Would five do? That’s my family. Both of SF. Two great home cooks, firing or o packaged foods and three bright and funny children. We loved our dinner together. When plus one or two appeared they loved it too. Our parties snd holiday dinners were legendary in our neighborhood and no we weren’t rich. Envy much🧐
James Patterson, you're just in it for the money now. The premise of this book is so infeasible as to border on ridiculous. You've created this character, this homicide detective, who has ten children and they are working on an eleveneth through invitro. A homicide detective in NY makes around $68,000. How in the hell is this character not a frazzled mess trying to feed, house, clothe and otherwise provide for ten children and not moonlighting or working a second job??He would be so stressed over all that, he wouldn't have time to focus on homicides! For a single person to get by and live fairly comfortably in NYC, they would have to earn around $112,000. See what I'm saying? Add to that the Catholicism fed to the reader ad nauseam, and it all added up to: the storyline of the mystery might be a good one (I don't know because my gag reflex keeps kicking in), but I can't move beyond the infeasibility of the background story to find out. Again, it borders on the ridiculous.
I prefer the word children over kids. I have a deep respect for children from birth. Treating children from day one of life with respect at all times is the true way to develop the best human beings. 😊
I don’t find it offensive, but I immediately think of a baby goat 🙄. In my upbringing there were no shortcuts in language and a spade was called a spade. As a result I generally don’t like any form of diminutive e.g. kid, kiddo, hubby, pet, honey, etcetera etcetera 🙄
I see. That makes sense.Thank you for explaining. I guess it's just a difference in background and culture. Americans are very casual, as a rule. Like you, I picture little goats jumping around like they have springs on their feet. Cute, busy, and a little mischievous. It's a descriptive term not intended to denigrate. But I totally see where you're coming from. The variety in cultures is delicious meant to be savored like a salad full of different but complementary ingredients. 😄 🥬🍅🫒🥒🥜🍊🥗
Haha, the way you describe kids, (baby goats) does sound like "kids" when they are young, actually. Perhaps there's a reason for the terms' commonality. We all have our own pet peeves, so I understand the annoyance as well.

Murder Club not Breakfast 😂
Love the voice. Fan of Patterson. New to Bennett. Fabulously paced to start…Hoping no ads or at least manageable.
This was gooood and got me through my workweek !!
Great book, the flow was perfect and it kept.your attention. Thank you for sharing it on this platform.
There can be very large very happy families where mostly peace reigns. With good and well organized parents.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Who knew who the murderer was as soon as they were introduced?
Great narrator!
Great story!!
Great narrator, great voice .
Excellent Narrator! Great storyline too.
Quite a layered, detailed story.

I think it's pretty dang good listen
Sorry you didn't find it fulfilling

Seriously I came here to say this but you said it perfectly. It’s so Leave it to Beaver but if that show was extra G rated. 😂
Some people just don't understand family Dynamics
I sure do pity those people
A bit like a Disney version of Micky Spillane
Question. If they have 10 kids, why is wife getting fertility treatments?
I believe in a different book they are described as all adopted and from a previous marriage. So his current wife has never had any of her own.
Mc was the nanny initially. Thru the series their relationship grows. His first wife passes away . Sorry i have failed as a storyteller
I love michael Bennett. Wish he was real
As a longtime NYCee, this story brought me back.

Good narration! Mind you, the guy needs some sinus meds. Sounds so stuffed up!
I thought it was a bit long but good enough story - last 30-40 min cuts out but story is pretty much done by then - thanks for the upload
👍👍👍👍
Literatey genius
But not you, Donna. Literatey is not a word.
@@jonesy6116Harsh!😂
Really, from all the offensive things or nice things one can see you gripe about the word “kids”.
Griping is an way of life for some…
I prefer the word children over kids. I have a deep respect for children from birth. Treating children from day one of life with respect at all times is the true way to develop the best human beings. 😊

B-
I wish Americans did not refer to children as kids 😡
I love the name Fiona. May I ask why "kids" is offensive to you? I'd just like to understand.

Those who really rule America warship Lucifer, that’s why they call children kids.
