As Lindsay, Cindy Thomas (crime reporter), Claire Washburn (chief medical examiner) and Yuki Castellano (assistant DA) – the Murder Club – met to hash out their theories and ideas on the case, more brutal murders were occurring. Lucas was arrested on suspicion of murder, but the tale he told meant the case was taking on huge proportions. From San Francisco to Las Vegas, Lindsay travelled to find her answers. But would she and the team get them? Convoluted and twisted, Lindsay wasn’t sure who was telling the truth – or if no one was… Kudos, Mr. Patterson and Madam Paetro, for another decent addition to the series. While I know you are likely a novel or two ahead in the series, I would suggest heeding my idea. I know other series fans have echoed what I said... and it could really inject something into all three series. Lea, Richard (February 8, 2008). "James Patterson stamps out library competition".

On July 6, 2010, the Hachette Book Group announced that James Patterson (USA), creator of the Alex Cross and Women's Murder Club series of novels, was the first author to exceed one million sales in e-books, moving 1.14 million units of his books for devices like Kindle and the iPad.

SECOND READ) I wanted to read it again to see if I missed something. Sometimes I get the feeling that I missed an important segment of the book. Not so true with this read. The story was quite good as many have been in this series. Boxer and the rest of the Women's Murder Club try to work their twists and turns. The story flowed well and the narrative kept its momentum throughout. If you are a Patterson and Paetro fan, I highly recommend this book. I've admired them for a LONG time and admire the plot and the execution of the story. While Lucas Burke is brought it for questioning and arrested, he makes a huge accusation, that it could be his father behind the murders. Lucas is certain he has resumed hunting for victims, but with little to substantiate it, the DA moves ahead with murder charges. McGrath, Charles (May 5, 2009).

This is a story of a psychopath, or psychopaths – who knows. It is full of tension, dramatic action and enough suspense to keep me totally engrossed in the story right to the very end. I got a real sense of place be it in the heart of San Francisco or the remote locations that Boxer and her partner are led to, and I also got all the edge of the seat moments I love. Did I get the resolution I wanted? Maybe, maybe not. Did the end fit the story. Totally. Will I be reading more? You bet I will. Loved this. Just a little angry that it’s taken me until book twenty-one to dive in. Still – plenty to be catching up with isn’t there? I can’t wait. About the Author Book Genre: Adult, Crime, Detective, Fiction, Murder Mystery, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, Suspense, Thriller I have been reading James Patterson for quite some time and the Women Murder Club series is one of my favorite series.

Now, Barnett’s assistant led her into the corner office, told her that the boss was running a little late, and said, “Make yourself at home, Ms. Thomas. I’m right outside if you need anything.” Patterson has been criticized for co-authoring many of his books [34] and for being more of a brand that focuses on making money than an artist who focuses on his craft.

In 2017, digital humanities scholars Simon Fuller and James O'Sullivan published research showing that Patterson does not do much actual writing when collaborating with other authors. [44] [45] O'Sullivan writes: "Patterson is all about story... 'author', in its widely accepted sense, isn't always the most appropriate term for his role within the writing process." [46] [47] [48] O'Sullivan later conducted the same analysis on The President is Missing, a collaboration between Patterson and Bill Clinton; here O'Sullivan concludes that Patterson did most of the writing, aside from the end of the novel.
