Jack Morgan delicious new charecter to love.

Patterskn a master to make all his characters come alive. Jack Morgan is owner of Private an investigation firm. This one has several characters and it takes a few chapters to learn about them all and the several different storylines but then the story explodes. Jack Morgan and Private is a great addition to your Patterson library

James Patterson Private

Great author, great book. Have been reading Patterson for years. I was a library assistant for 15 years and know a good author when I read one!

A very good book MUST READ IT

When I looked at some reviews that rated Private one star or two, I nearly didnt even bother reading the book. But when I read it, I couldnt let go of it. If you dont read it you must be crazy!

I WISH THIS WAS THE FIRST IN A SERIES!!

I really liked this book. I wish it was the first in a series. There is so much action and interplay between the characters. Private is the name of a Private Investigations firm with its main headquarters in Los Angeles CA. There are three main cases involved in this story: murder of a wife of a friend of the Private's owner, a football scoring scandal, and the murders of several teenage girls. GREAT BOOK.

I can't wait to start the next chapter

I just read the 24 chapters of this book, and I can not believe I need to wait 17 more days to continue to read this story. It grabs you quickly, and has you hooked every page! We had a death, a murder, a missing person and a potential NFL OH NO!'It's AWESOME!
