Patterson does it again. As much as I wanted to make this book last, it took only a couple of days. As usual, great page-turning action and an awesome ending-- looking forward to #11.

I enjoy James Patterson's writing and like his series. You get to know the characters and they seem that they are a part of your life.

Book 10, in the Women’s Murder Club series

This is the typical James Patterson style: short chapters, fast-paced and an uncomplicated storyline with loveable and well-known characters. Everyone must be familiar with the Women’s Murder Club by now and thank goodness Mr. Patterson spares us the details in each member’s past just to make up pages.

As always in this series the unrelenting friendship of the four women and the support they offer each other through thick and thin plays a very important part in creating the atmosphere. This latest installment has three overlaying themes entertaining us with a combination of mystery, romance and suspense.

In the opening chapters Detective Lindsay finally ties the knot with her long time love, freelancer Joe Molinari, but the honeymoon is short lived. A work assignment involving a missing baby who seems to be part of a child trafficking scheme soon occupies her full attention. To complicate matters, the teen mother continually tries to derail the investigation by lying and concealing the truth.

Assistant District Attorney, Yuki, also has her hands full with a high profile case with many levels of intrigue, a case she must win at any cost. The romantic side of her life adds a little spice to the story she is now dating Lindsay’s boss, I wonder how this is going to fly, will there be friction…..

Reporter Cindy while on assignment for her newspaper investigating a series of assaults also finds herself in hot water. While digging up the details she gets too close to the heart of the matter and also becomes a target of the serial rapist. Her relationship with Lindsay’s partner is still as strong as ever and sure to be milked in further installments.

Medical Examiner, Claire, has her hands full with her newborn and in this mystery she plays a very small part but I am sure she will be back in tip top shape soon.

If you follow the exploits of the girls I think you will enjoy this one. I consider Mr. Patterson’s style as mystery light, a soft read and a change in pace from hard core mysteries.

It was little bit dissapointing for J.Patterson's book. Seems like too many stories are unfolding at the same time. The pace of this book is slower then usual Woman's Murder club. But it got better at the end. Hopefully next one will be better.

I gave up on Patterson a long time ago and for the most part do not care for his collaboration novels. I cannot believe the reading public continues to buy his mass produced garbage. The one exception is the Women's Murder Club Series, Which I am sure are all written by Ms. Paetro with a bit of review by Mr. Patterson. This is another good one that I could not wait to dig into as soon as I downloaded it on to my Kindle! The story begins on Detective Lindsay Boxer's wedding day. Her day of celebration quickly becomes a distant memory when she is called into to investigate a grizzly crime: a teenage mother has been savagely beaten and left to die, and even worse her newborn baby has vanished. With no leads to follow Lindsay is at wits end and to make matters even more complicated she soon realizes the Victim is maybe hiding something as well. It was fun getting reacquainted with the Lindsay's crew, and the plot kept me turning pages right to the last page. For another great page turner checkout the thriller "A Tourist In The Yucatan."

This is my last James Patterson book. I can usually tolerate the terrible writing as there is usually a decent plot. Not this one. Just three equally lame plots. After I finished it I found myself wondering what the point was. Absolutely terrible! It only took me two days to read as there is absolutely no substance. Even two days was too long. I am so sick of his television ads (seriously, how many other authors do you see advertising their books on TV). A quality author does not pump out five or six books a year like Mr. Patterson does. It is clearly all about quantity and not quality and obviously the money. He will get no more of my time or money.
