Only play if you’re willing to waste money

This game is a total waste of money for a fermium game to get anywhere near competitive in it you need to sink hundreds if not thousands of pounds into it only for a bigger player to come and destroy everything you’ve paid for in seconds it also suffers from horrendous lag issues which almost always end in you getting wiped out by rich kids and bored millionaires with a bottomless pit of money to waste game is constantly moving on and always seems to be trying to get you to buy the latest research or gear for £99.99 per pack and there’s no way to stay relevant as old items are not available so you’re always on the back foot so again only use this if you’ve got a bottomless pit of cash and don’t mind wasting it all

The new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald is an old lover The new case comes at the start of Hollywood on the Hudson, where the L.A. elite come to examine movie making in New York City. So people in the T.V./movie business will be everywhere.
The Good News: NYPD Red will be busy.
The Bad News: They have a serial killer on their hands.

The first murder is at the Regency Hotel. A movie producer takes a nose dive into his breakfast plate. Not long after arriving on the scene, do they get a call for a murder at Silvercup Studios....and the day begins.

Will they find the killer before half of Hollywood is dead in NYC?

I'm a big James Patterson fan, and this book didn't have as much Umph to it that the Cross or Women's Murder Club books do.

Joe Pike Takes Centerstage in Fast Paced Novel

When a favor is called in, Joe Pike finds himself as the bodyguard for Larkin Conner Barkley, a spoiled rich young woman who has become a witness in a Federal investigation thanks to a traffic accident. But when people come for them twice within just a few hours, Pike must go to extreme measures to protect them both. The bigger question becomes, what is really going on?

From a mystery standpoint, this book is outstanding, which several wonderful twists and surprises. I had a hard time putting the book down. Since this book focuses on Pike, it is interesting to get some more perspective on this character, although I did feel some flashbacks slowed the book down. Don’t worry, we do get Elvis Cole as well. My biggest beef with the book was two characters who I found super annoying. We were supposed to find them comedic, but I wanted to slap both of them. Additionally, some characters can’t seem to remember when events they just lived through took place.
