Joe Morgan or James Patterson?
I like who JP seems to follow JM’s MO of making an assertion and then following up with a question encouraging you to “stay tuned”. (Part of the blame falls on “R. Johnson:” for confusing the situation with a multi-part question)
Q: Why is it that the leading protagonist of a mystery/thriller series never seems to have personal relationships that last, or are, at least, satisfying? Is there a rule in this genre? –R. Johnson
James Patterson: I don’t think there are rules in any genre, personally–and I’m certainly not going to say Lindsay Boxer isn’t going to find a relationship that will last or be satisfying! Who knows, maybe even in the next book… or the one after that?
