Cradle and All by James Patterson
For those of you who have heard of James Patterson probably know him by his popular and successful Alex Cross series. Well, he has done many more than just that. He's done young adult with the Maximum Ride series, Nicholas Sparks inspired with books like Sam's Letters to Jennifer and Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. But he has also done some stand alone books like Cradle and All. Now when this book was first released it was called Virgin but at some point the title was changed. Now I don't know if there was any major editing done to the book when it was renamed or what. This was another one of those books that my old manager at the book store suggested. In fact I remember she bought a copy of this book at a major book sale and gave it to me.
The plot of the book is that there are two young women are pregnant, one is in Boston the other Ireland. the key is that both are virgins. Anne Fitzgerald, a former nun now private investigator, is hired by the Archdiocese of Boston to investigate the immaculate conceptions. Once she gets to know the two young women she soon realizes that both are in great danger. With both the force of good and evil beginning to play, Anne needs to discover the truth and save not just to two young women but to protect the future of all mankind.
This book was good and a quick read. It had enough detail where I was kept interested and I couldn't put the book down, but it wasn't over saturated with so many details that you lost interest in the book. The plot of course had a twist and while some may have seen it coming I have to be honest I didn't. So it made the ending of the book much more enjoyable. I do have to say that even though this is a stand alone book I wish that there was a sequel. The ending was left kind of open-ended so I think a sequel would be perfect. It's been 8 years since I've read this book and I just want to know what happens next.

It was. I haven't read anything like it so if you know of anything that is, don't be afraid to make a suggestion.
