I am normally a big James Patterson fan. I have read all his books and usually feel they are "page turners"Pop Goes the Weasel isn't a page turner. There were key places where I predicted what was going to happen and sure enough - it happened just that way. I like to be surprised.I think he gave the sappy romantic ending away early in the book. It wasn't obvious but it was there.Not the suspense I was hoping for.
