Kill Me If You Can begins with the murder of a man who stole
some diamonds. From there, the diamonds
are stolen again and the chase is on. As
I read Kill Me If You Can, I couldn’t figure out who I was supposed to root for
since every character was morally bankrupt.
Michael seemed the intended hero, but it was hard to get behind a
diamond thief who was sleeping with his professor. As is typical of Patterson novels (this one
is written with Marshall Karp), the plot moves quickly which is what kept me
reading even as I was disgusted by characters like the father and daughter who
are romantically involved. The incest
scenes have no real point other than titillation thus making them completely unnecessary
and thoroughly sickening. Kill Me If You Can finally caught my interest with
the revelation of The Ghost’s identity.
That twisted things enough to make it more than just bad guys chasing a
slightly less bad guy.
2/5
