Tick Tock by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.
Another novel featuring Detective Michael Bennett. This was one of the better Patterson books I've read lately. While I dislike all the stuff about "my wacky family!", I do enjoy the NYC setting. Also, Patterson created an antagonist who is more than just evil. There was a bit of me that was hoping Berger/Carl would escape with the money.
3.5 stars. Would have been 4 without all the family stuff.

Book #7 in 2011
The Confession by John Grisham.
Excellent novel about a (wrongly) convicted man on death row and the people who try to save him. Has caused me to reconsider my pro death-penalty stance.
4.5 stars.

Book #6 in 2011 (Audio)
No Second Chance by Harlan Coben. Read by Scott Brick.
13 Hours.
Someone shoots a doctor and his wife and kidnaps their daughter. The wife dies, but the doctor recovers and starts off on a journey to find his little girl, with the help of his ex-girlfriend sho also happens to be an ex-FBI agent, who left the Bureau under murky circumstances.
This book took too many twists and turns for my liking and the narration was a touch too dramatic. I think if it was about 9 hours, it would have been much better.
3 stars.
