Book Review: "Hush" By James Patterson and Candice Fox

It's another do or die time but this time it's going down while in prison ...well at least part of it is!

James Patterson and Candice Fox bring another great epic thriller with HUSH the newest piece that does more than just stir the senses it creates an atmosphere of excitement like never before.

In this case, are favorite character of the popular Harriet Harry Blue series- Blue-is incarcerated for murder while everything crumbles around her.

When the doctor on the floor of the infirmary is murdered everyone accuses Blue because of her frequent outburst another prisoner becomes the prime suspect, leaving Blue to wonder why especially when they are close friends.

Now comes the action as tension builds not only within these confines walls but on the outskirts as well with the commissioners daughter. Who just so happened to be responsible for putting Blue behind bars in the first place.

A deal is in the works for her to help find his missing daughter Tonya and her young child but things don't seem to go as planned.

It's a terrifying ordeal but with plenty of hands on deck the case seems to unravel at the seams as more and more individuals come into play.

One by one we uncover the truth that Tonya was being used for a professional advantage in the most bizarre ways.

Surely, her work as a prostitute who dealt drugs wasn't all it was cracked up to be but someone is hell bent on gaining the upper hand with it all.

My word...it will have you on edge because this pairing of authors is the best in the biz.
I love when they both get together and while his name sells it's her work that creates the duo magic.

Harry Blue is a character set in Australia who always gets her man. She's got a mouth like the South as my pop would say but she's got courage, strength, and charm too.
She's always in the thick of it chasing down sex crimes and pedophiles but this time she's going for gold with two cases running simultaneously while maintaining a dangerous "cop" persona in the lock up.

It's wonderful to see how the secondary characters came together to unite for the protagonist in this one which we don't often get to see in thrillers.
The spin on this 'prison' setting leads readers to examine the outside looking in approach which heightens the plot to new heights.

Loved it!

Hope you do as well...as I'm off for the next James Patterson Weekend Reads Marathon.
