I enjoyed this book. As with Patterson's other novels, he is repetitive with the amount of times he told the readers that Bennett has 10 kids.

Overall I really enjoyed this book! My issues were with the overkill of references as to how great the police are. We get it...police officers are trained and only kill when absolutely necessary. There are a few bad apples that ruined the name of the entire force...got it. There were also some super cheesy moments that made me cringe...
The storyline was great though. Going to a different country to rescue the mayors daughter from a cyber criminal was cool and very Die Hard inspired (even referenced in the book).
In the end, I had to give this a 3. Not the best book I’ve read from him, or even the best in this series, but still a good read.

First couple chapters were really good. Then... Extreme action hero alert.
Michael Bennett, NYPD Detective followed leads from NY to Estonia to find/rescue the Mayor's daughter. Pretty much all by himself.
I still like this series because of the Bennett's family, especially his eldest son who is in jail. But the thriller (cyber crime) was just okay.

I have a soft spot for Bennett and Cross. Generally I love these books. This one was just as much fun as I’ve come to expect. I wonder just how much Patterson actually writes anymore, but the Bennett and Cross books seem to be the ones he spends the most time on. This series is almost always good

This is the 12th book in the Michael Bennett series. I love this series and James O. Born is a great co-author.
A cop with a good soul and many children, that’s who Michael
Bennett is and oh trouble always finds him on the job. This book was a page turner and a great blend of Michael’s trouble with the shooting and his hunt to find the Mayor’s daughter. There was no shortage of action as contract killers, a maniac hacker, a church with secret hallways added to the mystery of whether the Mayor’s daughter was kidnapped or ran away.
If you’re ready for the action, go take a read.

The Michael Bennett books are still a good action filled mystery. Quick chapters always make for fast reading.
