Really enjoyed this book and the humor. I've read all of Patterson's books and, I'm sorry, I don't think he wrote this book. I think he added his name so a new author would have more visibility? This didn't read like his books. ( )

Wow!!!
Three great characters solving case after case at breakneck speed.
The pages just fly by and the last page leaves you wanting more!
Hey Netflix look no further for a perfect series is here!!
And the real mystery, who really are Holmes, Maple and Poe? ( )

Patterson, James, and Brian Sitts. Holmes, Marple, & Poe. Little, Brown, 2024.
These days, James Patterson is not so much a writer as the CEO of a bestseller factory whose production depends on his coauthors. In Holmes, Marple, & Poe, he collaborates with Brian Sitts, who has worked with him on novels that resurrected Doc Savage and the Shadow. This time around, he brings three skilled detectives with famous last names to modern-day New York to work together on some grizzly cases that would be right at home in Edgar Allen’s world.
Three-point-five ravens. ( )

Reading anything by James Patterson is always fun. The hidden Easter eggs in this novel made it even more fun. A quick and enjoyable read, suitable for a day at the beach or a weekend curled up by a fire. ( )

The three detectives make a formidable team, solving a series of seemingly impossible crimes which expose the dark underbelly of the city; from priceless art theft, a high-stakes kidnapping, and a decades-old unsolved murder, to a gruesome subterranean prison, and corruption and bribery at the highest levels of power.

But it's not long before their headline-grabbing breakthroughs, unconventional methods - and untraceable pasts - attract the attention of the NYPD and the FBI.

After all, it's no surprise that there's a mystery or two to unravel in the city that never sleeps . . . not least, who really are Holmes, Marple and Poe?
