1st Case

I loved this Heroine!! Angela is brilliant, bold and exciting.. just like the pace of this book! Very fast and held my attention! I have been a James Patterson fan from the beginning.. not afraid to say what I like and dislike! Hope Angela becomes a repeat character like Michael Bennett, Alex Cross, Women of the Murder Club, And even Texas Ranger Rory Yates!! Stay well and keep us entertained!!! Karen Deutsch

Fun, fast-paced, suspenseful thriller. Wow! Patterson\’s focused, short-chapter format always makes an exciting escape read. Liked this new character, Angela Hoot, as a newbie FBI intern, way over her head as she tries to deal with life-and-death situations. The problem is that her IQ is too high and her impulse control is too low. A dangerous combination. Yikes! I found the story\’s premise intriguing and original, especially because it\’s written first-person from Angela\’s overly confident and quirky perspective. Her overactive mind and divergent thinking, mixed with her scattered and often conflicting perceptions, creates a strong-willed character too willing to rush into unstable situations. Lots of intese excitement here as plotline and effective storytelling make it hard to put the book down. Overall, the novel works well, but Angela\’s self-absorbed perceptions create a disjointed and often disturbing sequence of shocking circumstances. Seeing everything through her eyes often distorts our perceptions as Angela sees others as flat or cut-out characters she only superficially understands. One of her major weaknesses. The book is both a good standalone read and a good foundation for a new series. However, I hope if future installments are in the making that the author\’s develop her personality more, while allowing her to quickly outgrow her confused relationships and potential instabilities. I also purchased the Audible narration, although it was not directly available at the time with my Kindle purchase. This dramatic supplement enhanced my reading experience greatly. Many might find the language of the younger characters objectionable and distracting because it\’s a bit too stereotypical and distracting to the storyline or plot.

This was a terrible, poorly written mishmash that had nothing good about it. I think i am done with Patterson and Co. after reading this one.

Quick paced thriller. A genius or 2, FBI and a case to solve. What could be better on a summer day? Nothing. I hope Hoot and Billy have a 2nd Case!

This was a good read. I liked the characters. I liked the interaction between Angela and Billy. I thought it detracted from the whole best friend storyline with AA for Angela to make a pass at her. That fell flat to me. All in all a good story. I wish Mr. Patterson would worry more about quality instead of quantity.
