James Patterson Bookshots: French Kiss with Richard DiLallo
One drawback to some of these bookshots is that the stories are not complete. What I mean by that, with this one in particular, is that the story jumps around and seems to leave things out.
Detective Luc Montcrief is working for NYPD. He is a detective from Paris, who solved a big case that made him somewhat sought after. He has a fantastic partner, Maria Martinez, who is killed while posing as a prostitute while she was on loan to the vice department.
Then, he is assigned a new partner, K. Burke, to help solve Maria's murder. While working that case, Luc's longtime lover, Dalia, is murdered. Luc puts two and two together and realizes that there is a connection in these murders of women he loves. So he and K. Burke go to Paris to try to figure things out by looking at his prior cases. While there, Burke is attacked.
So many details left out, but still a decent story. If I hadn't set a crazy/stupid goal for myself, I likely would not have ever read this. Am I a better person for having read it? No. I did meet my goal of reading more books in 2016 than I did in 2015, so that's something.
