Kill or Be Killed: Thrillers (BookShots) Hardcover – October 17, 2016

This has 4 of James Patterson's Bookshots in 1 volume. The Trial is a Women's Murder Club mystery, Heist is about a diamond heist gone awry, The Women's War is about 3 ex-marine, all female, going after a Mexican drug kingpin, and The Little Black Dress is an erotic thriller. If you like James Patterson, you'll love these 4 short thrillers. If you haven't tried Patterson, start with this oneGo ahead, and read it. You'll be glad you did!

I gave this series of books four stars. Each book was unique and the characters were interesting. I would recommend it.

I thought these would be good because I love all James Patterson's books. Imagine my surprise when I found they are the bookshot stories contained in one volume. A big disappointment. The stories themselves are good. But this seems to be a duplication of the same stories, in an attempt at more money. Already a great author, so shouldn't have to resort to measures like this to sell your books. People buy them because they have good stories.

It would have been good if I had know the titles of the 4 stories ahead of time (unless I missed it somehow), since I had previously purchased and read two of them when they were sold individually - Little Black Dress and The Trial. At any rate, all the stories were captivating. My favorite was The Women's War - nice twist at the end.

Let’s not like about the Jim Patterson novel? Well, ones that are only an hour or two in length and very fast paced!

Although you got 4 stories for the price of $13.99 it would have seemed to be a deal but the stories were just not up to the expectations that I put upon Mr. Patterson compared to his other writings. I just didn't like the stories. The Little Black Dress the worst of the bunch. Didn't like the character of this woman at all. The Women's War, better as I do like to read stories of strong woman. The Trial with the Women's Murder Club was just a confusing story, seemed to bounce around with the husband of Lindsay, Joe, in and out of the story and her life it seems. And the Heist, haven't even finished as it started out slow and didn't hold my attention. I guess I'll go back and read it to be my moneys worth in this books but then again maybe not. I won't give up on James Patterson but some of his works are just not up to par at times.

All 3 short stories are worth the read. Delivers the same suspense and thrill that the regular Patterson books offer, simply just quicker reads. I would definitely recommend this if you enjoy other novels by the author.

Really good, as you would expect. I was disappointed that Amazon Kindle didn't warn me that I had bought 2 (I think) of the included book Shots individually already. I really depend on that protection so I don't buy somehting 2X.

I have not awarded this book any stars at all. I found it to be a waste of my money. Normally Amazon are excellent in warning you if you have read a book already. This book contains 3 individual titles. I HAD READ EVERYONE of the titles which Amazon would have told me that I had "purchased it on so and so date" had they known what was inside the cover. This is the second time it has happened and the first time I did not think anything about it but this time I suddenly realised what was happening>

Only three stars from me which is very unusual for me with James Pattersn. Of the four books, the first I thoroughly enjoyed the Murder Club and also enjoyed the second one The Heist, but could not get into the third or fourth. which is why I reduced the stars. Worth buying for the first two but not for the others.

Really enjoyed this. I think it was 3, maybe 4 stories in one book. All the stories were brilliantly written! Kept you interested, and all had a little twist in them.

Typical Patterson holding your breath until you turn the next page

James Patterson is one of my favourite authors. However I wanted to read more of the stories. I read this book and it was well written but some of the stories were a bit out there.
