I love novels by James Patterson and his co authors. Unfortunately, I can not say that “Mistress,” like their last collaboration, “Guilty Wives,” did thrill me. In fact, “Mistress” is so confusing it got to be boring. The main character Ben lives in a world of trivia of movies and politics that slows the pacing of the novel down to a crawl. “Mistress” is very disappointing and should be missed.
