Description

In this thrilling story of crime and corruption from the world’s #1 bestselling author, three detectives keep their identities secret, and NYPD’s Det. Helene Grey is on a mission to unmask them—no matter who gets killed along the way. 

In New York City, three intriguing, smart, and stylish private investigators open Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations. Who are these detectives with famous names and mysterious, untraceable pasts?

Brendan Holmes—The Brain: Identifies suspects via deduction and logic.

Margaret Marple—The Eyes: Possesses powers of observation too often underestimated.

Auguste Poe—The Muscle: Chases down every lead no matter how dangerous or dark.

The agency’s daring methodology and headline-making solves attract the attention of NYPD Detective Helene Grey. Her solo investigation into her three unknowable competitors rivals the best mysteries of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Edgar Allan Poe.

    I almost didn’t finish it as setting the stage of the characters and the story line took a lot to get through. It needed up being a nice read. I will try another.

    Dull and labored. Lacks a readable rhythm. I couldn’t get into it, and I kept putting the book aside. I did keep trying to read it, but I eventually gave up. The story lacks energy. Three equal lead characters is too many. As a mystery, it was bland. Where do I get back my money? And, I see that now the Patterson Book Factory is already cranking out a sequel. Too many novels quickly dashed off isn’t a positive thing.
  • A bit over the top

    This is the first book in a new series and while this book is not bad, I have no interest in continuing the series. I felt the main characters were caricatures, and while this book had a lot of action, I don’t feel it had a lot of substance.
  • Well Done
