Run for your Life by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge

A killer who refers to himself as The Teacher stalks New York City, murdering powerful, arrogant people and drawing the attention of Detective Mike Bennett, who tackles the case while also caring for his ten children, who all have the flu virus simultaneously.

I think I am a shallow reader, because I enjoyed this book. I liked the short chapters (I'll just read one more and then I will get some work done). The home situation was funny and a comic relief to the thinking of The Teacher. The contrast between the detective and the killer was interesting. It was a good, quick read...a vacation for the mind. Did I figure it out before the ending? no, but I was happy to let the detective do the work for me.
