...whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Probably my favorite James Patterson novel of all time! It’s got the trademark snappy, short chapters you expect, with hints of Doyle, Poe and Christie woven throughout. Mysteries galore and the big one, exactly who are Brendan Holmes, Margaret Marple and Auguste Poe?
