Tick Tock

James Patterson delivers once again with his new audiobook about Detective Michael Bennett, Tick Tock. I have been a James Patterson fan for quite some time now. The first book I listened by Patterson was the first book in the Alex Cross series: Along Came a Spider—I was instantly hooked. A few years later he introduced Lindsay Boxer in 1st to Die (the first in the Women’s Murder Club Series)—and again, I instantly fell in love. A few years ago, he decided to right about Michael Bennett in Step on a Crack—hook, line and, sinker.

Picking between the series is like picking a favorite child; it’s not fair and someone’s going to get their feelings hurt. So, I will not say which my favorite series is (partially because that changes to whatever series last came out with an audiobook) but I will say I am really enjoying this one. Michael Bennett is a detective in New York, saving the city one case at a time by catching the most vicious and violent killers the city has ever seen. On his off-time he is a widower father to ten—yes count them, TEN—adoptive children. The internal struggle he has between keeping the city safe and keeping his family together is so absolutely heartbreaking and wonderfully endearing at the same time.

Patterson has always had a way to keep you at the edge of your seat through the entire audiobook—and does once more with this latest audiobook in this thrilling series. If you’re in the mood for an action-packed, heart-pounding suspense of an audiobook, look no further beyond Tick Tock.
