The Kennedy Conspiracy by Michael White (view source)

Whilst the story was exciting and frequently unpredictable, the writing style seemed a little simplistic. The author biography suggests that he has teamed up with James Patterson for a soon to be published novel and I can see from White's style how this would be a good match. He writes using very simple language, but with a good eye for keeping the pace high and in many ways the story is more important than those involved in it. This means that character development takes second place to plot development and it is in the early section where White is trying to introduce the characters and give you a feel for them – not entirely successfully – that the pace is at its slowest and the book felt at its least effective.
If you're a fan of James Patterson and his fast paced yet easy beach reading style, there is absolutely no reason why you won't thoroughly enjoy ''The Kennedy Conspiracy''. Whilst I may generally prefer something a little meatier, there is certainly room for this kind of novel and Michael White slots into the genre very nicely indeed. We also have a review of his [[The Art of Murder by Michael White|The Art of Murder]].
If you like a fast moving and quick reading thriller, try [[Toys by James Patterson and Neil McMahon]]
