The 18th Abduction by Maxine Paetro, James Patterson
3.0
In this installment of the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay Boxer is investigating the abduction of three teachers who work at an elite prep school. They seemed to have vanished in thin air. Meanwhile, Lindsay's husband, Joe, is investigating the case of a woman sighting a Bosnian war criminal who was supposed to be in prison. Their cases converge in a surprising way.
I really thought that the last couple Women's Murder Club novels were formulaic and that James Patterson had run out of creative ideas. This novel makes me think that isn't true. It was a quick read and I enjoyed it. I really wanted to give this 3.5 stars, but Goodreads doesn't let you give half stars.
If you are interested in a police procedural that is a quick read and has some good plot twists, this is the book for you. And if you've never checked out the Women's Murder Club, you can read this without having to read the rest. But if you're looking for a new series, start at the beginning.
