Book Review By Tracey Ray
When the Wind Blows by James Patterson

FBI agent Kit Harrison and veterinarian Frannie O'Neill are an awkward match at first, but team up for some strange investigation. Fran searches to solve the mysterious murder of her husband, while Kit battles with the deaths of his wife and children. Max changes all their lives while helping both Kit and Frannie through their own personal issues. Max is an eleven year old child who shows up in the woods near Fran's animal hospital. With the help of Max, Kit and Frannie reveal the truth of horrific, scientific experimentation. Out of it has come unspeakable tragedy as well as something so beautiful it boggles the minds of Kit and Frannie.
