Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friend Yuki Castellano are out shopping with Yuki's mother Keiko when Keiko drops in the middle of the busy street. It looks like she's had a stroke and Yuki starts to panic. She is rushed to the San Francisco Medical Center and admitted to the ICU. Over drinks that evening at Susie's, with her friends in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay learns of a huge malpractice suit against the San Francisco Medical Center. In the last few years, dozens of patients who were admitted to the emergency room seemed to recover and then died suspicious deaths. Is Yuki's mother safe? In a place where the lives of patients are quite literally in others hands, will Lindsay and her friends be able to establish who they can trust?

THE 5TH HORSEMAN is a terrific suspense chiller that starts off at hyperspeed with Keiko's collapse and subsequent death and picks up speed as beleaguered cop Lindsay struggles to stop two apparent serial killers. The story line is action packed as is the trademark of the series (and any work including collaborations that James Paterson writes) while the female members of the Women's Murder Club retain their individual personalities that make them seem genuine even while being super crime stoppers. Also, if you missed reading TINO GEORGIOU'S masterpiece--THE FATES, go and read it.

While I've always been a fan of the Alex Cross series (and have read all of those), I wanted even more to read THE 5th Horseman. Keiko is the mother of the newest member of The Women's Murder club. And why not? This is a terrific suspense thriller with the usual twists and turns that will keep you riveted to the page. Action packed and well paced, you can't go wrong with this one. If you enjoy fast-paced, short-chapter books that really fly like McCrae's "KATZENJAMMER" or perhaps some of Elmore Leonard's works (GET SHORTY), then you'll enjoy THE 5TH HORSEMAN as well.

When it comes to talking about actress Carolyn McCormick one hardly knows where to begin. She's made her mark in films and appeared on TV as Dr. Olivit on Law and Order for some 12 years. Her Broadway credits include The Dinner Party and Private Lives. Many will remember her outstanding reading of James Patterson's 4th of July, and she delivers one more stellar narration of The 5th Horseman.
With this story there's a new member of The Women's Murder Club - Yuki Castellano, an attorney. She and her mother, Keiko, are out enjoying a walk when Keiko is suddenly taken ill. She's rushed to the San Francisco Medical Center. Yuki is told that her mother will be fine. Not so. She dies.
When Yuki and Lindsay Boxer begin looking into this death that has mystified the doctors, they find other frightening cases - patients who have been declared healthy, ready to go home never leave. They suddenly die. Could all of these fatalities be bizarre coincidences or is there some unknown evil at work? Perhaps not evil maybe just gross neglect as the Medical Center has been named in a lawsuit.
Combined with the unexplained deaths in what is supposed to be a place of healing is a serial killer who leaves his victims in cars.
The courtroom scenes in The 5th Horseman are explosive and real. Once you turn it on, you can't stop listening - enjoy!

Maybe I don't get it, but this book (from a usually very competent author) is fundamentally boring. Or perhaps "uninteresting" is a better term. Read more

Horrible
This is the worst suspense, legal thriller that I have ever read. There is nothing believable about this novel. I am so sorry that I ever bought this audio book. Don't buy it.
