Customer Reviews

Gone Off Course?
I think that maybe this book is a show of how James Patterson is resorting to churning out new books every two months, without really coming up with a good way to end the story. I love the womens murder club series and although this one started off quite well the ending came as a disapointment. The arson cases were solved within a matter of chapters and the culprit was someone who had never really been introduced in the book before. I know a lot think that the recent stream of badly written novels is because of the two authors, but is it really just because Mr James Patterson, is losing his touch. I myself, am now turning to newer authors like Cody McFadeyen and Chris Mooney and maybe Patterson shoulkd slow down and really read the books he is writing because otherwise pretty soon no one else is going to.

A good read
Once again, sharp and action filled stories moving at a fast pace. I particularly like the short chapters which give an added impetus to the writing. For those familiar with the Womens Murder Club, this is as good as it's predecessors and I await the WMC 8.

Easy Reading
I love this series, I can see where some of the reviewers are coming from, however for me personally I still enjoy these, and am waiting for No8, to see how the relationship between Lindsey, Joe and Richie developes! Don't start with this novel you must start at No1!
