KILL ME IF YOU CAN combines the usual winning formula of action, suspense and glamorous international locations predominant in Patterson's novels, but with the more off-beat influence of Karp's writing which makes for a thrilling combination. During an attack on Grand Central Station on the bread-line artist, and unlikely hero, Matt Bannon stumbles across a bag of diamonds and decides to risk taking them. A cat and mouse game ensues as Matt tries to off-load the diamonds and avoid the assassin who has been sent to track him down and retrieve them.
There is a good injection of humour as well as pace and I found myself reading this in less than a day lounging by the pool. Not a cerebral challenge, but there were enough twists and likeable characters to keep me entertained and wanting to read on to see how things turn out for Matt.
Probably more Karp than Patterson, but I enjoyed it all the same, and look forward to what is undoubtedly the start of a great new series!

The worst Patterson book in memory of the 25 or so I've read. The characters are paper thin. There are bodies left all over the place which no one else seems to notice or take interest in. The protagonist is beaten to a pulp but comes up swinging while uttering cute observations. All the women are drop-dead beautiful. All the bad guys are sadistic. Good fiction has to be plausible, and this is fragile, thin, and preposterous. It's all formula, no content. If this were the first Patterson book you picked up, I doubt you'd buy another. This one was mailed in.
