Step on a Crack Michael Bennett James Patterson Michael Ledwidge Books Reviews

James Patterson is my all time favorite author and now Michael Bennett is my favorite character.He is the father of ten adopted children and his wife is dying.He is on the job of one of the biggest cases ever in New York city.
From Homicide detective back to hostage negotiator.How this case gets solved is a real nail biter.
And the man behind it is a shocker.
One of my favorite authors, James Patterson (with Michael Ledwidge), has written another detective series, this time featuring Detective Michael Bennett, an NYPD hostage negotiator. The pairing of these two writers has produced a lead character I was immediately drawn to. The story was fast-paced and well written, thoroughly entertaining. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Step on a crack is the first in the series surrounding the Michael Bennett family. Michael is not your usual run of the mill detective. What might set Michael apart is first and foremost he is the father of ten adopted kids from ages 3 to 12. Secondly while trying to keep New York safe, he is also trying to manage his home life and his breaking heart as his wife, the love of his life, is dying of cancer in the hospital.

Patterson does know how to weave an interesting tale doesn't he?

But wait - there's more...

In the midst of Mike Bennett's already chaos of a life, the former first lady is poisoned and while St. Patrick's Cathedral is filled to capacity with Government leaders and celebrity mourning this loss... the entire congregation is kidnapped at the hands of a group of unknown gunmen. All this is happening right in Bennett's back yard.

Life.... is never dull.

It's hard to explain what I really find in good audio - but this is it. The narrators, John Slattery and Reg Rogers lead you into a full body sense of suspense when they alternate the voices between good guy Bennett, and the eerie flat tone of the man known only as Jack.

A good story line - I enjoy the tameness a family man like Bennett brings to a genre that on occasion can be harsh - even offensive. yet at the same time - this story is not weak by no means. I bounced between the intensiveness of the kidnapping a church filled with well-known people... and the story line between Mike and his wife Maeve from the hospital bed. The latter causing me to sit in my car while parked in the garage to listen a little longer to their conversations with tears hitting my steering wheel.

I have raved about Patterson's audio before and I am doing it again. Don't write off audio until you have experienced one of Patterson's recent audio - and even if you are not a Patterson fan, do not write off Patterson until you have read/listened to, this series.
One of my favorite books by James Patterson that doesn't include Alex Cross. This is definitely one of my go back to books when I either have nithing else to read at the moment or if I just want to re-read something on my shelf.

I love that Michael Bennett is a detective with a heart big enough to adopt a broodful of kids and give them the live that they deserve.
I am reading the series but I read the books during the day because the violence is much too graphic for me to not toss and turn all night thinking about the violence. It seems each book in the series is more violent and I am once again reading I Michael Bennett during the day. All Patterson's series move quickly and are hard to put down. Michael Bennett is a wonderful character. How in the world can James Patterson write so many books and keep all his characters separate? He is amazing.
This book is about a gigantic hostage situation. It is carried out by most unexpected villains. It is suspenseful and exciting.
A group of security specialists create the ultimate kidnapping scenario and start the entire event by causing the death of a very special person.
Locked in a fortress, that is virtually unimpregnable to the police and Feds, they end up killing 5 people , before a daring escape and rescue.
As usual this writing by this particular author is filled with suspense, attention to detail, and a very interesting story that keeps he reader on the edge of their seats with anticipation of the next event.
I love the Michael Bennett stories and this is either the first or second novel in the series....how I missed it until now I don't know as I have read ALL the others and am awaiting the next one...but this one was excellent....police work...family work and this one even tho I did read it out of order ...was heartwarming a little sad ( I wont tell you why as it would ruin it for you ) but in the end was an excellent read.....so go buy it already and you will NOT be sorry
