- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018From start to finish this book is filled with action and intrigue. A police officer sets out to prove her brother is innocent of multiple murders. Along the way she is temporarily banished to a small rural town where she stumbles across another murderer. Meanwhile back in her home town her partner continues to work tirelessly to prove her brothers innocence, even though he himself is not convinced her brother is innocent.
Another well written book by Patterson that from start to finish pulls the reader in and introduces them to well thought out characters with plenty of depth and a plot with many a twist and turn.
Once you start to read you won’t want to stop until an ending that many won’t see coming.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024Great book. Kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters are great and I didn’t see the ending coming in either case.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024I have read all the Harriet Blue books. Very thrilling! I am hoping for more!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019You really care about Harriet Blue. The book grabs you and holds you. However, there are 131 chapters each 1or 2 pages long. It inhibits the flow of the story. Seems like they tried to make a novella into a novel by adding partially blank pages.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024Love all James Patterson books!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018Fifty Fifty by James Patterson and Candice Fox, what a novel, three hundred seventy pages of revolving mystery. Harriet Blue's brother, Sam, has been arrested for murder. Harriet is a police detective where a series of killings against young women has been going on for a short time. Evidence found points right at him, Sam! Harriet, known as, Harry, believes in Sam's innocents. She is removed from the investigation and sent to a valley away from the investigation and court. She finds herself in a very small village in Australia. There she finds criminal activities that are mind blowing. Killings by home made bombs. Threats to the entire village to be killed off. Sam's ongoing investigator's, keep Harriet informed as to any progress made. The Chief of the village's two man police department, the chief is one of the two, is blown up with one of the home made bombs. Who in the world would do this? The towns people point a finger at a male who lives out of town and is a recluse. Mean while, two of Harriet's friends find clues showing that Sam just may have been framed, but by who and why? Rated PG. Some strong language. No sexual activities. DP. Castro Valley, CA.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024I am surprised but am finding myself enjoying this series. I had thought I wouldn't and had three series of his I loved. It turns out I am enjoying these also.
