This was fast paced as usual! I was happy to be back with the women’s murder club. The ending felt rushed and I wasn’t as shocked with the outcome as I’d have liked but overall still an enjoyable read.

"The 24th Hour" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro was a thrilling 4-star read! This book is the latest installment in the Women's Murder Club series, comprising three separate stories intricately woven together. The main storyline follows the investigation into the murders of an elite husband and wife, compelling Sergeant Lindsay Boxer to solve the case before the murderer strikes again. Meanwhile, during a lunch break, the Women’s Murder Club's meal is interrupted by a scream, leading to a subplot involving a rape victim with a mental disorder who seeks justice with the help of Assistant DA Yuki Castellano. Additionally, outside the murder club, Lindsey’s husband, Joe Molinari, endeavors to halt a cybercrime before innocent lives are lost.
True to James Patterson's style, the chapters were short, making for a quick read. The main storyline was engaging and felt consistent with the tone of the series. Yuki's subplot was also compelling, though it seemed slightly rushed to conclude the trial. However, the storyline involving Joe and the cybercrime lacked interest for me. It lacked a smooth flow and abruptly ended. Nevertheless, overall, the book was enjoyable, and I would recommend it to fans of the Women’s Murder Club series.
Thanks to Little, Brown and Company, James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, and NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.
