Readers are raving about The First Gentleman...

*****
'It was fun, suspenseful, and definitely gripping to see what was going to happen. James Patterson is a legend in this field and it was fun to see former President Clinton as his co-writer.'

***** 'Gets more suspenseful as it prgresses, until I literally could not put it down till I had finished the novel. The characters of Maddie, Brea and Garrett are particularly well drawn. An excellent read, and one which I highly recommend.'
