It’s been eons since I’ve done an On My Bedside post! After a long while of not reading much of anything, I’ve been a complete book worm the past couple of months.
First up is The Black Book by James Patterson. At first I didn’t think I was going to get into this one but it quickly caught my attention and was full of suspense and turns that I didn’t see coming. Two things that make a book worth reading, in my opinion.
Three bodies in a beautiful and luxurious bedroom.
Billy Harney was born to be a cop. The son of Chicago’s chief of detectives, whose twin sister is also on the force, Billy plays it by the book. Alongside Detective Kate Fenton, Billy’s tempestuous, adrenaline-junkie partner, there’s nothing he wouldn’t sacrifice for his job. Enter Amy Lentini, a hard-charging assistant state’s attorney hell-bent on making a name for herself-who suspects Billy isn’t the cop he claims to be. They’re about to be linked by more than their careers.
One missing black book.A horrifying murder leads investigators to an unexpected address-an exclusive brothel that caters to Chicago’s most powerful citizens. There’s plenty of incriminating evidence on the scene-but what matters most is what’s missing: the madam’s black book. Now shock waves are rippling through the city’s elite, and everyone’s desperate to find it.
Chicago has never been more dangerous.As everyone who’s anyone in Chicago scrambles to get their hands on the elusive black book, no one’s motives can be trusted. An ingenious, inventive thriller about power, corruption, and the power of secrets to scandalize a city-and possibly destroy a family-The Black Book is James Patterson at his page-turning best.
I’ve been a James Patterson fan for as long as I can remember, with Along Came a Spider keeping me up at night in high school and then Kiss the Girls that soon followed.
I’ll be sharing more good reads in the coming weeks but would LOVE to know what books have caught your attention lately!

I’m so late to the party, but just started reading James Patterson. I’m just starting the 2nd in the ‘Private’ series and I’m already hooked! Thanks for letting me know about another one to put on my must-read list!
I am currently finishing Freakonomics by Levitt and Dubner. It is an interesting take on how unalike things can relate to one another. I also read The Outliers by Gladwell, an investigation into how opportunities and chance lead to the most successful people in our age.
I like Beach Road by James Patterson. I’ve read it twice; such a page turner.
I have not read a James Patterson novel in years. Might have to try this one. Glad you shared!
Shari Lapena’s books are great! Page turners…quick reads that you won’t want to put down. The Couple Next Door and A Stranger in the House. Enjoy!
