Kidnapped by James Patterson

"Kidnapped" by James Patterson with Robert Gold- Roscoe continues.  

This book is published by Random House in 2016 and has 144 pages. It's a Bookshots book. This is Book 3 of Jon Roscoe series. 

Roscoe has gone to USA to depose against a businessman, but other witness turns and he is acquitted. Roscoe saves a young girl from committing suicide at Chicago airport and she turns out to be sister of the businessman. He meets a married English women travelling with her American husband and a child at airport and she turns out to be daughter of a neighbour of his in-laws. All of them are on same flight. Back in London, child of neighbour's daughter is kidnapped. A man is murdered in Hotel Tribeca, where Roascoe serves as global head of security. 

Why is Roscoe angry about Matteo? Why everyone tells Roscoe that he can't solve all problems? Who is murdered? Who is the kidnapper?

This is a Bookshots book, so it's an easy read, small novel and story is not complicated. There are two mysteries. A murder and a kidnapping. Why did the authors titled this book after one of them?

Initial part of the story takes longer than what I would have liked. That leaves fewer pages for the climax. Since, after the stage is set, story directly plunges to climax, this flaw is covered but that exposes another. Again no investigation in this book too. Build up and directly climax!

Apart from the two mysteries there is a story of Roscoe and his wife being separated and a possible romance between Roscoe and Anna. Roscoe is torn between the two women. 

The series will continue as Matteo is still walking free and Roscoe can't rest till he is apprehended and locked up. This is also a Christmas novel as the main events happen around Christmas. 

Why did I read this book? Have been reading a lot of non fiction lately.

What I didn't like? No investigation. 

What did I like? Length. 

A quick and light travel read. Don't bother if you aren't travelling.
