This was a very good thriller. Lots of action and I always love a strong female character. There are parts that are more than a little farfetched, but that's why they call it fiction. A lot of luck, but that's what makes things exciting. I didn't read the first Doc Savage book, but this book is good as a stand alone, I don't feel that I had missed much.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the second one in the "Doc Savage thrillers" series. I have not read the first one, so I had to do a bit of catching up in the beginning. I recommend reading the books in order for better clarity. Here Doc and Kira are living on a beautiful, deserted island, happy and having a great life, until things go wrong and they have to flee. During most of the book they are separated and fighting to get back together. Lots of action and exotic locations keep the story moving along at breakneck speed. I'm not sure if more books are planned for the series, but I do plan to go back and read the first one. Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for providing .an ARC

I am a fan of pulp storytelling and enjoyed this author duo’s take on The Shadow. Wonderful to see them now tackling Doc Savage, and I’m interested to see where this new story goes — as well as what character is next for a pulp revival from Patterson and Sitts.

Murder Island is a 5-star addictive, roller coaster ride! Kira Sunshine and Doc Savage are battling evil with Doc on an ultimate mission to find and rescue Kira. Their saga leads them to many different locales-this book really reminded me of a James Bond movie! Highly recommend! To note, it is not required to have read The Perfect Assassin prior to this one.

Oh my gosh, James Patterson always knows how to write a story and this just knocked me off my feet. So incredibly well done! Highly recommend

In Murder Island, James Patterson and Brian Sitts created another action-packed, exhilarating adventure story in the Doc Savage and Kira Sunlight series. Dashing around the world in boats, helicopters, seaplanes and by foot, the ingenious skilled pair fight the bad guys to achieve good.

Doc Savage is back! This book was absolutely terrifying at times. Doc goes to the ends of the Earth in his pursuit of his girlfriend, Kira. There were many twists and turns I couldn’t predict, which is hard to do!

Suspense is non stop and mayhem abounds in the continuing story of Savage and Sunlight.
Did Savage and Kira Sunlight disappear to sea on her boat when her hidden loft apartment is blown away. They make the their way to a small, tropical island and begin a life of simple living, thinking they are safe from the people who wanted them both dead.
But trouble finds them and when they are separated from each other in captivity the fight is on to outwit their captors and find their way back to each other.
Really interesting sea based story that offers a unique and very "un Patterson" like setting for a large part of the time.
Good characters, well defined and a storyline that pulls you right in.
Here's to appreciating time when you think you've run out of it.
