![]() They’re sad cos they don’t get to go with the others but kinda happy they’re together. They’re ‘rejects’ so not taken away in a truck like the other animals. One of the residents likens them to ‘fucked up’ animals released into the forest by a farmer’s wife in a story she’s heard. This book works more because we’re given this eclectic (and eccentric) group of characters – misfits in some way. We know who the bad guy is from the get-go. I can very much sense the involvement of Fox in the series because she gives us a flawed and not-always-likeable lead character, which is something she excels at (also doing so in her Hades/Eden/Fall and Crimson Lake series’). Patterson and Fox have been collaborating on the Harriet Blue series, set in Australia. Before time runs out, the residents of the inn will face a choice. His sense of duty compels him to fight off the threat to his town. Robinson feels the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. A new crew of deadly criminals move into the small town, bringing drugs and violence to the front door of the inn. Yet all too soon Robinson discovers that leaving the city is no escape from the dangers he left behind. As long as the dozen residents pay their rent, Robinson doesn't ask any questions. Its seclusion suits former Boston police detective Bill Robinson, novice owner and innkeeper. The Inn at Gloucester stands alone on the rocky New England shoreline. Genres: Crime Fiction, Thriller / Suspense Patterson and Fox establish an excellent cast of characters (though they also kill off a few!!!) – and it feels like we’re on the precipice of getting to know some of the mysterious guests of the inn more. However… I’d be surprised if this doesn’t become a series – assuming it’s well-received that is. The blurb for this bills it as a ‘standalone’ novel.
