About this item

“Best-selling author James Patterson populates his murder-mystery novels with cold-blooded killers and smart detectives” (USA Today). In Holmes is Missing, PI Brendan Holmes has committed the perfect crime—he’s made himself disappear.
 
Success has come quickly to Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations. The New York City agency led by three detectives—Brendan Holmes, “the brain,” Margaret Marple, “the eyes,” and Auguste Poe, the “muscle”—with famous names and mysterious pasts is one major case away from cementing its professional reputation. 
 
But as a series of child abductions tests the PIs’ legendary skills, the cerebral Holmes’s absence leaves a gaping hole in the agency roster.
  
Only by closing ranks and solving the mystery within can they recover all that’s been lost.

    This is an enjoyable quick read. The characters grow on you a bit. And the story is engaging enough. I’ll keep reading this series. I’m sure there are plenty more headed our way.

    This book is fast paced and the storyline is intriguing. You have 3 great main characters who keep everything moving. All I can say when is book 3 coming out?

    I enjoyed the 2nd book of this series because it is fast paced and it also set the stage for a series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An all nighter! But worth the sleepless night!

    Patterson has been one of my favorite authors for years and this book is as engulfing as any of his others. The characters are not as interesting as the Cross family, but still charming, complex and interesting.
    The crime solving makes sense once all is explained and we end with a big bad I'm caught and available for more mayhem in future books.
    If you have read the first book in this series you will hobble up this one. Enjoy!

    4.0 out of 5 stars CONFUSED ???
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025
    Did I miss something ? I thought it was to be a "Holmes, Marple & Poe Mystery." Where did "Holmes, Margaret & Poe" come from? Still, a good read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025
    It’s a good sequel to the first story. These would make a great movie or series. It’s a pretty intense story and it might trigger some people. So please bear that in mind if you choose to read it.
