Customer Reviews

Disappointed - again
I am a big fan of James Pattersons thriller books (not his fantasy books!) but my enthusiasm is beginning to wane.

I have found the last 4 (I think since Maxine Paetro started as co-author) Women's Murder Club books very lacking in substance, predictable and badly written.

I have this theory that he is allowing the other author to use his name but he is not contributing any longer.

I'm dreading the day when a second authors name appears on the Alex Cross books!

As good as ever
Having read most of James Pattersons books and enjoyed them all including the previous six in this series, I was not disappointed. This book moves along at a cracking pace and the characters are well scripted and thought out. The way their lives intertwine is interesting and only serves to make the plot more believable. I felt that Lindsay Boxer took a bit of a back seat in this one, but this did not detract from the story which was brilliant. The basic presmise is a series of Arson attacks where rich couples are being burned to death in their own homes. I can't say too much more without giving away the plot, but needless to say it is a fast and furious ride to get to the whodunnit. If you have read the other books then read this one and enjoy. If you haven't read the others, then I suggest you do this in order starting with 1st to Die.

murder heaven
.I just love The Womens Murder Club and I was not disappointed .The characters come alive on the page .The plot is pacey, well thought out and very exciting.I always think when an author starts to write a series somewhere along the line it becomes "same old same old".This is however not the case every book could stand alone . If you have not read any of these books I am not going to discuss the plot or the characters .Just start ar the beginning and read them all you will not be disappointed
