(Holmes, Margaret & Poe #3)
My Series Sunday pick is The Girl in the Lake, the third book in the Holmes, Marple & Poe series by James Patterson and Brian Sitts. There is an accusatory message from a corpse left at a frozen lakeside crime scene. It says, "If anything happens to me, arrest Brendan Holmes." Wait, whaaaaat?!?! And so the story begins.
"Never apologize for exposing mediocrity." ~ 49%
Our mysterious private investigators Holmes, Marple & Poe have taken refuge at a remote lodge in upstate New York after their sleek city headquarters was bombed. Then a body in the lake put them back in the headlines and under suspicion. It seems the dangerous Oliver Paul is their version of Alex Cross' Mastermind because he is back taunting the trio. The Girl in the Lake is the continuation of a great mystery series!
We still don't know much about any of these main characters but that is what adds to the suspense, intrigue and frantic page-turning. I want to know more! I want to solve the mystery, but more so learn more about their identities. Patterson expertly gives us tidbits into their personal lives which was the best parts of this new installment. The mystery gladly took a backseat while I fell more in like with Holmes, Marple, Poe, and friends.
Happy Early Pub Day, James Patterson and Brian Sitts! The Girl in the Lake will be available Tuesday, Oct 27.
