I have read all the Alex Cross books by James Patterson, and was looking for another similar series of books, and I came across Michael Bennett also by James Patterson. Both are cops; Cross in DC and Bennett in NYPD.
Bennett and his wife, Maeve, have 10 adopted children. We learn early on that she has cancer and is dying. At this same time, Bennett is called away to work on a hostage situation at the funeral of a former First Lady where a lot of high-profile celebrities are in attendance. Bennett does have the help from Seamus, his grandfather as well as an Au Pair named Mary Catherine who arrives during this time. Mary Catherine was recommended by Maeve’s mother, and Bennett had no clue about it. But, he accepted the help.
It was action packed and I enjoyed it. I am already on book number 2.
