This book was a good read. I especially enjoyed reading the second story. The first story was good but not what I expected from Patterson. But after reading the second story, I see a new character for another series.

Bill Robinson used to be a detective with the Boston P.D. Him and his wife Siobhan bought an inn. She died in an accident.
It was a bed and breakfast. There were people staying there that were permanent guests. Trouble starts after a woman Bill knows complained about noise coming from across the street from her house.

The second might be better than the first, its close. Either way, two good crime stories that will keep you wanting to read more.
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
I felt everything was just left unfinished. Both of the stories. Not worthy of James Patterson

I’ve read several of his books and am a big fan. However, every once in a while I find a book that I feel like he just phoned it in to meet a deadline
