Well, that will teach me not to listen to advertising.
I have kind of stopped reading Patterson since he started writing with co-authors. Some books are better than others, depending on who the co-author is. Patterson says he likes developing plots but likes others to write them.
Patterson and co-author Lupica (and later their wives) have made ads where they talk about how this is the best book they have ever written. Their enthusiasm is so intense that I broke down and got the book.
They are wrong.
This is an OK book, but definitely nothing like the earlier books that Patterson wrote by himself. I only give it 2-1/2 stars.
Jane is a defense attorney who has been hired to defend a guy she is pretty sure killed a family of 3, but who says he's innocent. As she is about to defend him in court, she learns that she has Stage 4 cancer and is given 12 months to live. (Patterson says the other two books in the series will be called "6 months to live" and "3 months to live.")
There's a lot of killing, a lot of threats to be killed, and witnesses who can either provide her client with an alibi or make it sound like he did it. After a lengthy trial (during which her cancer symptoms plague her because she refuses to take chemo), a verdict is given and we still aren't sure if it is the right verdict or not.
As I said, this is an OK story and it kept my attention, but I longed for a page turner to read and found it in a Harlan Coben book that I stared when I finished this one.
