Book Review: Loss of Innocence by Richard North Patterson

Loss of Innocence by Richard North Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the prequel to Martha's Vineyard, (hence the #0.5). I now need to go back and read Martha's Vineyard because I wasn't as thrilled with it as I was with every other RNP novel. But then I read this and I thought it was fabulous. Like Martha's Vineyard, Loss of Innocence is not like all of the other RNP novels that are usually filled with lots of courtroom drama, crime, corruption and mystery.

If you read Martha's Vineyard, you will have no clue who Whitney Dane is but, you'll figure out how the books fit together at the very beginning of Loss of Innocence,

Whitney is young, just graduated from college, and is a summer away from getting married to the perfect college graduate guy. Her parents are rich, her sister is a model, and her future husband will work for her dad. Sounds perfect doesn't it?

Then two things happen, one immediately right after the other. Bobby Kennedy is killed and Whitney meets Ben Blaine, who worked, literally, side by side with Bobby Kennedy. Ben Blaine is an "islander" on the Vineyard. He comes from a poor family, unlike Whitney.

Whitney and Ben become friends. Great friends. Over a three month period we see Whitney's growth, Ben's growth (or deterioration), depending on how you read it and, what's really going on with Whitney's family.

I've seen the not so great reviews for this book and for Martha's Vineyard. I think it's because RNP fans are so accustomed to his usual. But RNP wanted to write books about Martha's Vineyard and life there. He also wanted to write a period piece and set it on Martha's Vineyard so he wrote Loss of Innocence.

I think I'm going to love the third book in this trilogy. TO those who've read Martha's Vineyard and thought it wasn't so great, read Loss of Innocence and then try again.
