A review by saritaroth
The 5th Horseman by James Patterson
4.0
In this fifth installment of the Women's Murder Club series, Lindsay Boxer must solve a string of homicides in San Francisco, California. The bodies of women are being left throughout the city in parked luxury vehicles. Not only does Lieutenant Boxer have this case to solve, but there are also a large amount of deaths at first attributed to negligence on the part of Municipal Hospital. The loved ones of the deceased sue the hospital for gross negligence and win a substantial settlement. But Lieutenant Boxer must discover if this is the whole story, or if there is in fact a killer on the loose in the hospital as well. Boy, does she have her hands full?
Although this book may not be the best of the series, I did enjoy it. I probably just still missed the attorney from the earlier books, Jill Bernhardt, and I haven't warmed up to her replacement, attorney Yuki Castellano, yet, although she did appear in the fourth book. Sometimes, you need a bit of time to warm up to a new character, especially if you've already gotten attached to a character who isn't in the series anymore. Why did Patterson have to get rid of Jill? Why?
