Are you a fan of James Patterson's Novels ? Loving the Detective Michael Bennett Series ? Review: Tick Tock - Book #3 Michael Bennett Series - January 2011 As always the James Patterson novels have various covers , I had the edition with the cover on the right, which I personally prefer as the one on the left looks a bit blah. In Tick Tock , we are presented with James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge's Detective Michael Bennett . Michael Bennett and his family have decided that it is time for a Vacation, so they travel down to Breezy Point , however things aren't that great as we all remember that Michael's family is a rainbow coloured family of ten children whom he and his late wife Maeve ( very irish name) adopted , along with his family is their nanny Mary Catherine aka MC and Michael's Grandfather a late-bloomer to priesthood Seamus .
