Yuck.
Mediocre writing, predictable plot, flat characters, and I don't think I need to read any more female characters written by Patterson. I also don't think Patterson should write any more female characters.
Lastly, the final post-twist twist must be the most tacked-on two pages in literary history. Just terrible.

Review of 'The bone tree' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The writing is very good, but I'm completely exhausted after reading The Bone Tree. It's borderline misery-porn.
So much hatred, misogyny, sadism, rape, death, and more JFK assassination faux history than you can shake a stick at. It's all so bleak and terrible, not to mention depressing.
I need a vacation after this book, I'm completely drained. If I do decide to finish this trilogy, which is not a certainty at this point, it won't be anytime soon.
