You've been warned


I always look forward to a James Patterson story to see what strange concepts are thrown at me.

Amazon text - Kristin Burns, a New York City nanny and aspiring photographer, is devoted to the two children under her care, but her desire for their father, Michael Turnbull, leads her to a risky, torrid affair with him. Kristin's anxiety about her guilty secret is heightened by a series of frightening nightmares centering on a vision of four body bags being loaded onto gurneys in front of a prominent Manhattan hotel. Her nightmares also feature recurring encounters with dead people, including her father and the pediatrician who abused her as a child.

Dead people, dreams and premonitions - this story started off as it meant to go on.  BUT it did not go anywhere - affairs, dead children, abuse were added but the story simply was not satisfying. 

This is the first piece of writing by James Patterson that I have read which involved the supernatural as a reoccurring theme.  The mix simply did not work, I have preferred to read about double cross and dastardly ideas...... sorry but I would give this one a miss
