Our view
“Step on a Crack” is a family-centred thriller that gives the Michael Bennett series an unusual hero, a detective raising ten children. Readers who know Patterson’s other series may welcome a lead who works differently from Alex Cross; others find the prose clumsy and the misfortunes piled too high. Some also feel it moves so fast that the characters barely take shape before the end.
