Great James Patterson action like I have come to expect! ( )

Borrowed Library hardcover. Couldn't put it down. ( )

Enjoyable book. A fast and easy read. ( )

Old reviews went missing. How does save not working?

Great series; I love NYPD Red books. ( )

"NYPD Red" is the opening novel of a series and I found the story premise and plot to be potentially exciting. I simply didn’t find that the potential was successfully completed. Detective Character development of Detective First Grade Zach Jordan and his new partner and ex-girlfriend Detective Kylie MacDonald was too much of a cliché in several ways for me. I had previously read "Kill Me If You Can" by James Marshall and Marshall Karp so in comparison this reading experience is a definite disappointment. Thankfully it was a quick read for me over two (2) nights as I wouldn’t have wanted to devote more time to this novel. Although I have a copy of "NYPD Red 2" I’m going to put both novels in my book donation box. The novels have been on my tbr shelves for so long I don’t even remember how I acquired them.

I would prefer to return to reading more novels by Louise Penny (best known for creating the character of Chief Superintendent Armand Gamache of the Quebec police), J.D. Robb (pseudonym used by Nora Roberts and best known for creating the character of NY Lieutenant Eve Dallas with the series beginning in 2058), and John Sandford [best known for creating the character of Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA)].
