From Booklist
Patterson takes his titles from nursery rhymes and child's play: Along Came a Spider (1992), Kiss the Girls (1994), and here the somewhat menacing game of hide-and-seek, a perfect tip-off to the mix of sweetness and evil in this quick read about a celebrity murder trial. Now there's an original idea. At any rate, Patterson's protagonist is a tall, blonde songwriter named Maggie who had a rotten childhood, then made a rotten marriage. When hubby attacks Maggie and their three-year-old daughter, Maggie shoots to kill, does, and then, mercifully, isn't charged with murder. Life goes on, and Maggie channels her grief into her music, moves to New York, and BAM! she's a star. The money pours in, she plays to adulating crowds, her music fills the airwaves. She falls in love with a wonderful man. Then he dies. Two down. Meanwhile, a very nasty boy named Will--whose mother abandoned him and his brother, whose father committed suicide, and whose aunt seduced him at a dangerously young age--is becoming a lethally nasty man. Will, a soccer star, is also famous and just happens to love Maggie's songs. When they marry, the media goes wild; when Will is shot dead, they're positively frenzied. Is the lovely songstress a killer, a black widow? Oy. This ranks right up there with chewing gum, but, hey, sometimes that's all you want, or can handle. Donna Seaman

From Library Journal
Beautiful Maggie Bradford seems to have it all: a successful career as a singer/songwriter, fame, money, and two precious children. However, she killed her first husband in self-defense and now she's in jail awaiting trial for the murder of her second husband, Will Shepherd, a charming, psychotic professional soccer player. At first, Maggie's marriage seems fine, but soon Will begins to act irrationally. The increasing tension comes to a head when Maggie comes to believe that Will has been sexually abusing her daughter; the resulting confrontation ends in Will's death and Maggie's arrest. Climaxing in Maggie's celebrity trial, this page-turner delivers a solid punch, complete with a surprise ending. Patterson (Kiss the Girls, Little, Brown, 1995) offers a vivid, emotionally revealing tale. Recommended for public libraries.

I've read nearly every book James Patterson published. Hide & Seek is just as riviting as any other. The characters are well developed, you find yourself attached to Maggie, really wanting to know more about her. Finding the truth in her past seems to be the last thing on your mind while reading. The only complaint I have is that I feel that he ended the book a few times. Once you feel comfortable it the ending another bone was thrown in to late. James Patterson is truly one of the best writers that just keet you coming back wanting more!

I read this book only because of the circunstances. And it's just wonderful that the circunstances exist.
The story is: I was reading some book summaries, you know, the plot of the book briefly told on the back of the book. And I found this book to have an interesting plot. I started reading it and loved how the author developed the scenarios, the characters and the plot itself. It was like reading a book by Sidney Sheldon. In fact, I've came to the conclusion that some of James Patterson's books are quite similar to Sheldon's. Both of them know how to keep the reader's attention and how to develop an interesting story. Nowadays Patterson is one of my favorite authors, and I think that, after reading that one, he'll become one of your favorites too.

This is the second James Patterson book I've read and I really liked this one. I couldn't put it down right from the start! I fell in love with Maggie's story and I yearned to know the truth about her 3 dead past lovers. I cried with her every time and loved how the book was written from the character's perspective in a trial. The ending drew to a nice finish and I still respected and liked Maggie through it all. I'm hooked on Patterson, but I think I liked his Alex Cross character better.

Not at all what I expected.
This was the last thing I expected from James Patterson. I now understand the "soap opera" references in the review section. Lesen Sie weiter...

Good book to read.
This is a good book to read. It has alot of good parts in it, and it has good character scheme. But the only thing is that some parts in the book shouldn't be in it. Lesen Sie weiter...
