I just grabbed Patterson's THE HOUSE OF WOLVES audiobook from the library and will likely start it tomorrow. So, THANKS!

It was a Kindle First Read, and I was pleasantly surprised. Most of the time, those First Read books are not all that great, but Gerritsen's experience and solid writing chops sparkle in comparison to the average First Read author.
