Private Down Under by James Patterson Review

Reviewed by David Savage

Private Down Under by James Patterson & Michael White is the latest book in the Private Series available to buy from 23 May 2013.

Private is a very successful private investigations agency run by Jack Morgan  in L.A. Private Down Under sees the opening of the Sydney, Australia branch. At the launch party a dead man crashes the party who has been shot and had his eyes gorged out, this is the start of a very busy first week for Craig Gitso and his team of investigators.

While trying to find the killer of the man that looks to be a kidnapping gone horribly wrong involving the Triads they also take on cases involving a missing businessman who seems to be involved with gangsters, a rock star who thinks his manager is trying to kill him but also the murder of 4 wealthy women that looks like a serial killer is on the loose.

Overall, Private Down Under is a great thrill ride. The ever familiar Patterson style of short chapters and fast paced action right from the first page does not let up making it a quick read although it is about 340 pages long. It contains kidnap, blackmail, murder and intrigue and is written in such a way that you can’t put the book down as you just want to read “one” more chapter to see what happens next.

Never a dull moment and a great thrilling and exciting read.

If you haven’t read Patterson before you are in for a treat and you won’t have to had read the previous books in the series to follow the story.

I highly recommend it and can’t wait for the next one!
