Thumbs down for Patterson

I didn't think I'd ever read a James Patterson book that I didn't like but I actually found one. It's an oldie and not goodie. "The Season of the Machete" was written in the 70's and somehow I missed reading it. I really did think I'd read all of his but I found a couple that I hadn't. Well, I wasted my money on this one. Setting is San Dominica. Damian and Carrie Rose are successful psycho-pathic killers for hire. Their nemisis is Peter Macdonald. Patterson was all over the place with this novel. Loose ends and twisting story lines. I finished it because I kept hoping it would get better but it didn't happen. Hope the other book of his that I bought is better!
