Hello, happy Friday! I hope you’re all doing well; I’m so happy that we’re heading into a long weekend here in Canada! I thought it was time to bring back First Impression Friday with James Patterson’s novel Ambush.

This meme was created by J.W. Martin @Storeys of Stories and the rules are quite simple:

First Impression Fridays out there!

An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a set-up, taking an officer down-and it’s not Michael Bennett.

The life of New York’s top cop is not the only one at risk. One of Bennett’s children sustains a mysterious injury. And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennet to the presence of a professional killer.

Investigators chase leads that turn out to be phantoms, and this master killer entices one officer into compromising Bennett. He then goes a step further, luring another member of Bennett’s family into even graver danger. Michael Bennett can’t untangle what’s driving the assassin-but he can tell it’s personal. And he needs to determine exactly how he figures in the killer’s logic, before there is one fewer Bennett in the world.

Goodreads Synopsis

I’ve never read a James Patterson novel before… I’m not sure I’m going to like it but we’ll see. I started reading this today… I’m literally one chapter in, my very first thought was hmm I’m interested in, I’m assuming the main character, his daughter is acting out of character and has a secret. So, now I need to know why, obviously!

The chapters are short so I have a feeling I’m going to read this quickly!

I’ll probably rate this 3 stars.

Have any of you read a James Patterson novel before?
