Book Review - Step on a Crack

James Patterson and James Ledwidge introduce a new hero, NY cop Michael Bennett, in this crime novel. Bennett has to deal with his wife dying from cancer, how to care for their 10 adopted children and, oh yeah, work the case of kidnappers hijacking the funeral of a former First Lady.

Bennett becomes the hostage negotiator in the unusual mass kidnapping of famous celebrities that include the former Mayor of NYC, an Oprah like personality, a classic rock star and a popular comedian.

There are the usual Patterson twists I've come to expect but Patterson and Ledwidge also do a great job of developing Bennett as a character you come to care about. I'm looking forward to the next installment which I'm sure will be coming.
