Product Description
One by one, children of New York's wealthiest are taken hostage. But the criminal doesn't crave money or power--he only wants to ask the elite if they know the price others pay for their luxurious lifestyles. And, if they don't, he corrects their ignorance--by killing them.
To Detective Michael Bennett, it becomes clear that these murders are linked and must be part of a greater, more public demonstration. With the city thrown into chaos, he is forced to team up with FBI agent Emily Parker, and the two set out to capture the killer before he begins his most public lesson yet--a deadly message for the entire city to witness.
From the bestselling author who brought you the Alex Cross novels comes James Patterson's most action-packed series yet. With the heart-pounding suspense that only Patterson delivers, WORST CASE will leave you gasping for breath until the very end. (2010)

 Couldn't finish last 30 pages August 24, 2010
Robert Douglas
I would relabel this book "worst book". I got within 30 pages of the end, and my entire years worth of suspension of disbelief had been used up. What's wrong with this book is that the author's must have watched too many TV crime shows in a marathon effort.
Paper thin characters. There is no character development at all.
Preachy to the point of annoyance. Couldn't just one character make the point that just because a kid isn't socially active at 17 doesn't mean they should be murdered. The one kid that isn't murdered doesn't bear resemblance to any kid I know.
Main villian with Stage 4 Cancer and he can overpower all these strong young characters. Come on.
The plot is rehashed from so many TV shows it's pathetic.
Avoid this one like the plague.

Can't wait to find out what is going to happen between Michael and the nanny. Hmmm.
Michael and others in this series from James Patterson are quickly becoming my favorites. I miss the Alex Cross of old. Swiftly taking Alex's place are Michael, the priest uncles, cute children and sexy nanny.
In this latest edition to the James Patterson arensenal, Francis X Mooney is a misguided do-gooder. And I call him this because he really wants to do the right thing, but his methods are not so great. He is kidnapping the children of the uber rich and engaging them into a game of his own in attempt to ascertain their concern for environmental issues. Answers to his question prompt responses from him.
The book is a murder mystery, not so much mysterious as a display of murderous intentions aimed at the heartstrings of the 60s and 70s hippies.
The story is solid and the writing is clear. There is murder and mayhem as well as intrigue. Will Michael succumb to pretty new detective who will partner with him on this crime? Or what is going to happen between Michael and the nanny? <--- Perhaps that's the mystery.
 Interesting twist to the serial killer August 17, 2010
Adam Jordan Siegel
Overall the book was good. The charachters develop nicely with only one dissapointment from my perspective about the subplot build up and then resolution to the two main charachters. It was fun to read and has me looking for a new Patterson book to pick up next.
Wow - that was quick! August 16, 2010

I've read a lot of james Patterson books, but this one was awful. I didn't feel like there was much mystery to the book. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen. Very disappointing to me.
