The Chef | 
so-soIt was very readable but predictable at the same time... The main character was the typical 'cop with integrity who doesn't play by the rules' and his love interest was mostly defined by being ridiculously attractive. In contrast to the female characters, we have little idea what 'The Chef' looks like and I assumed he was black until there was a little aside saying he was a white man in a black neighborhood. It had nice short chapters but 🤷🏻♀️
pickA former police detective turned food truck owner tries to save New Orleans from a terrorist attack during Mardi Gras. This is a faced paced, easy to follow, book. I enjoyed it as a light and entertaining read.
pickA quick read. It kept me guessing. I love the idea of an ex-cop owning/running a food truck named Killer Chef. They say Detectives never truly quit the job & this is a great example. I would definitely read more works involving these characters if Patterson decided to write more.
Just got back from NOLA last week and wish I would have read this one first. It has lots of great local New Orleans spots, including some great restaurant mentions and even recipes. It‘s making me hungry 😊
so-soI just thought this was meh. I think JP is trying to help to many new writers and his books are suffering. Of course, that's just my opinion. It finally picked up near the end.
pickAs usual, James Patterson does not disappoint with this new novel! I really enjoyed this book. I actually wish Patterson would turn this book into a series because I loved the character of Caleb Rooney!
so-soIt wasn‘t terrible, it wasn‘t exhilarating. It‘s also not generally my type of read though. I did appreciate the culinary expertise in the writing and the fact that a chef is also a ‘killer‘..
