While I'm not usually a fan of James Patterson, I know he can write better than this! The "mystery" was flimsy at best and the story-telling style was very clumsy. I think he might have gotten overwhelmed by not wanting to stray from what is absolutely known, but it just didn't work for me. I usually love this type of book. To see how it's done properly see Patricia Cornwell's Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed
