3.85 AVERAGE


Blah. Easily the worst I've read from Patterson's Womens Murder Club series. Too many plots, too many plot holes. And none of those plots was tied up satisfactorily.

I think this has been the best one so far out of the first 5 novels. 

When I first started reading for fun, I bought a ton of James Patterson books. I'm slowly realizing it was most likely a mistake. Patterson, or whoever writes these, delivers a terrible court plot, two intriguing murder mysteries quickly abandoned, and implausible turn after turn. The dialogue is getting worse as Boxer talks like an 80s school teacher at times. The killings could have been interesting but that dissolved quickly. Luckily it was a quick read.

I started this series a few years ago, and dropped it I don't remember the reason why. But I'm glad I picked up the series again. Because I can't wait to see what happens with the series.

I think that this may be my favorite Women's Murder Club book so far.
