Good addition to the series. Fast paced with quite a few plot twists to keep you guessing.
This was a great book. I really liked the double plots in the book and especially the ending. It was a pretty fast paced book. I haven't read a bad book in this series of his and am excited to start his next one.
Probably many decide that this series is manufactured and pulpy. I am really enjoying the Womens Murder Club with Maxine Paetro. Interesting stories, good pacing, humor and just fun.
This book may be a 2.5/5... but let’s just stick with two stars.
Keep in mind this review is FULL of spoilers.
Im not sure if my dislike for this book is because I’ve read five of them in the last month and a half... or if it’s because it was truly that bad and annoying. I’m sticking with the latter.
Finally... that entire mini plot about the car murders was SO unneeded! It was short, random, and confusing. I had to replay the whole Ken/Cherry reveal over several times becauze I felt like I kept missing something! I.. gah, this book was just SO problematic.

That ending was such a cop out. What the hell. I feel like James Patterson was trying to go for a “WOW” factor, but it didn’t work. First of all, when they noticed the other car parked at Garza’s house, I don’t remember any references to O’Mara being a redhead. I feel like the discovery would’ve been more successful if it was apparent to the readers that she was a redhead or at least what kind of car she drives. Also, having that random nurse being the killer was so annoying. It was obvious it was her from the first moment her character made an appearance (which wasn’t even until over 80% through the book!)

People are dying in a San Francisco hospital - people who were expected to make a full recovery from their ailments and go home healthy. It's baffling the hospital's doctors, and the hospital administrators would like to hush it up and protect their reputation. Lindsay Boxer and her friends, the informal Women's Murder Club, delve into the mystery to try to find out what is going on - but not without risk.
This is the fifth book in this series, which I recommend reading in order. It's still going strong and I'm looking forward to more - there are a dozen in this series on the shelves in the library, with more to come.

Ok, this is my beach/trash reading. I liked the Women's Murder Club show on television so picked this series up about a year ago. They are Law and Order type stories with a female cop, DA, ME, and reporter. This series is like eating potato chips. And the shortest chapters EVER.
Story felt a bit all over the place but I liked the medical mystery angle

god this book dragged..... where were the murder storylines???
Hmm... Like the rest of this series, it's a quick easy read. There are a few good plot twists, but they are somewhat predictable. Still, when you need something mindless to read a few chapters of before bed this series is perfect.
