by a father's worst nightmare - the signs he should have seen and a son's desperate cry for help. Reeling from a crisis that would destroy lesser families, the Bennetts escape New York for a much-needed vacation.

An idyllic country town in the Maine woods is haunted...

by an epidemic emptying its streets and preying on its youth. Turns out the vacation brochures don't tell the full story - the seemingly perfect community has a deadly vice. When local cops uncover a grisly crime scene buried deep in the woods, they consult the vacationing Bennett, who jumps at the chance to atone for his own sins. You can take Michael Bennett out of New York City, but you can't take the cop out of Michael Bennett. But far from the city streets he knows so well, no one will talk to the big-city detective, and the bodies keep piling up.

A young, hardscrabble, and forgotten girl is haunted...

by a traumatic history. Homeless and destitute, she represents the closest thing Bennett has to a partner in his frantic hunt for the ghostlike perpetrator behind the violence. Will Bennett and his unlikely ally unmask the culprit before anyone else winds up haunted?

Awful.

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Awful. This series used to be entertaining, but this latest entry is so poorly plotted and written I had to force myself to complete. Portions of the plot make no sense (presumably some of the plot-lines will be picked up in subsequent books), others are simply wildly unbelievable, and overall, the story is uninteresting and the villains cartoonish. But the worst part of all is that the Bennett character has become completely unlikable, doing and saying things that don't seem to mesh with the way Bennett's actions and demeanor have previously been portrayed. Sad to say, yet another Patterson series I will no longer be following. Lately his stand-alone books, like The Black Book, have been much better than his series.

... to really read but this one was way too easy to put down

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

I agree w/another reader who said that many of Patterson's books keep me keenly interested so I don't start them unless I know I have time to really read but this one was way too easy to put down. So much so that I forgot I started it and didn't return to it for nearly a week. Way too much unnecessary information and detail. There were times when I got lost and couldn't remember the original plot. I'm at nearly 70% of the way thru the book and the ONLY REASON I'll finish it is because I plan to read the next one in the series and don't want to be lost for not having finished this one. I like the style of writing of Michael Ledwidge much more.

Hoping for Another Book in this Series!

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

I just finished the last book in James Patterson's series that features Detective Michael Bennett. I have enjoyed reading his books so much, especially when Michael's family, his grandfather who is a preist, and Mary Catherine the children's nanny are featured; in fact, I hope that in the next book (I hope that there is a next one) the writers include more of the family. I have read approximately 75 percent of the books James Patterson has written and I enjoy them a lot. I wish that one of the networks would create a TV series using Detective Michael Bennett and the series featuring The Women's Murder Club and even the characters in the Private series of books. All of these series will keep you entertained!

My last Patterson read

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've been a Patterson reader for decades, but that stops now. I read 82% of this
book and it ended. The remainder was a promo/preview for the next Alex Cross book.
It's become like the World Wrestling Entertainment where one show is
simply a promo for the rest. Goodbye Patterson !

Where's the beef?

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

I read this book after reading the horrible book 'The Store' by JP. The Store only went to 80%, but a preview of Haunted was there. It seemed pretty good, so I purchased it. I will admit I was interested all the way through...until the ending. Or to put it better, WHERE WAS THE ENDING! Once again, an 80% book that never finished itself! I didn't go on to read the rest of his 'next best seller'. Because I have had it with James Patterson and his ghost writers for a while! I'm tired of paying 15.00 dollars and getting 3/4 of a book. No, I may be back later. But this is it for a while! Going to look for more HONEST writers.

At long last

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

Yes, the story is riveting, the action superb, and the suspense terrifying, but the masterpiece here is Michael and Mary Catherine’s relationship. She is surely a saint as we’ve seen through all the Michael Bennett books. Yes, Michael has recognized it as well, but he’s always held back. As a result of recent family and work events, Michael finally comes to the realization of what he wants for himself and his family.

Very disappointing!

Always look forward to the Detective Bennett series but with James O'Born as the co-author the book turned into a bad novel!

Best of the overdone Patterson book glut

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've given up on a lot of the avalanche of books produced by Team Patterson. The volume is
overwhelming and the quality suffers. The last Alex Cross book was horrible.
Having said this, I find the Michael Bennett books to be the best of the field. He is an interesting character and in this book for example, the out of town setting made for an interesting backdrop for a strong story.
I will keep reading the Bennett books, unless he starts putting out six a year.

Poor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Worst Patterson for a long time. I don't know if it's the new co author but far, far too many short sentences. The book just doesn't flow. I have read every single Patterson book and I'm fairly sure he didn't have as much input in this one as usual. Maybe he's cranking out too many per year now to keep a tight reign on it.

Good storyline, great author, but way too many religious references

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love his books and this character. The story was good as always but way too much happy clappy god stuff in it. Relgion left right and centre, okay if you're really a believer but I dont want that in such a high degree in the books I read.

Not the best JP has written but ok to pass some idle time. I do feel the that the religious overtones are quite heavy, started noticing that more and more. No objection to religion just don’t particularly like one mans views stridently articulated- it doesn’t really add anything to the story.

Entertaining read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2021

I was a little sceptical about this latest Michael Bennett adventure due to James Patterson introducing a new co-author.
Thankfully, the transition is seamless and nothing is lost with regard to the history and integrity of the characters. A good read!
