Frannie O'Neill is a young and talented veterinarian living in Colorado. Plagued by the mysterious murder of her husband, David, a local doctor, Frannie throws herself into her work. It is not long before another bizarre murder occurs, and Kit Harrison, a troubled and unconventional FBI agent, arrives on her doorstep.

Late one night, near the woods of her animal hospital, Frannie stumbles upon a strange, astonishing phenomenon that will change the course of her life forever....

Her name is Max.

With breathtaking energy, 11-year-old Max leads Frannie and Kit to uncover one of the most diabolical and inhuman plots of modern science. When the Wind Blows is as unique a story as has ever been told, filled with suspense and passion.

I love the setup and the first half of the book is enjoyable then it just takes a nosedive (flying joke). The plot loses all cohesiveness and the actions and dialogue of the characters rip through any suspension of disbelief the reader still has. In a sick attempt to give the book a serious tone, the author has the characters discover scenes of hideous cruelty climaxing in the discovery of mutilated infants left to die. These have no impact on the plot, as the characters pretty much ignore them and leave.

I really REALLY wanted to like this book

Gets your attention from beginning and keeps it until the very end. Best one so far. It’s difficult to keep a listener on track. This one has no problem. Excellent narration.

Fantastic

This was absolutely not what I expect when I pick up a James Patterson mystery to read. Parts of it were not developed deeply enough for the sci fi bug in me, but it was basically pleasant.

A surprise
