Book Description

2 May 2005 Women's Murder Club
A young man is found dead in a seedy hotel room; electrocuted in his bath with a toaster. This is the second electrocution murder Lindsay Boxer has come across and the message left in graffiti on the wall at the scene of the crime is the same: NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. What does it refer to?

The one clue Lindsay and her partner Jacobi have is that a black Mercedes was spotted at the scene of both murders. But when they follow a car they think is connected, they get more than they bargained for.

Full of the high suspense and fast-moving plotlines for which James Patterson is best known, this promises to be the most exciting Women's Murder Club case yet.

Format:Hardcover
For those that enjoyed the first three installments of the Women's Murder Club series, this will bring as much entertainment as the rest. Maybe that is a good thing, and maybe it's bad. Sometimes, as authors, we tend to rehash the same storylines because the readers want it. This book, while venturing out in some new directions, also stands pretty much by the storyline that some may have already found running a bit thin in the first three books.

Lindsay Boxer has already had more troubles in her life than most ever will. So, as to not let up on her, this installment finds her on trial. One day, all in a day's work for a police officer, a car chase takes a wrong turn. Forced to survive a firefight with the bad guys, Lindsay terminates the problems of the two killers they were chasing, but not after they wound her and her partner. Collateral damage in the shootout finds a 15-year-old girl dead and her 13-year-old brother paralyzed. Forget about making the world a safer place with two less convicts in it. Cries of revenge root a police brutality lawsuit.

Lindsay needs to get away from the media eating up the story and her every move. So, she finds a safe haven in her sister's home. Just to assure that she doesn't stay bored between court dates, she is also attempting to solve a recent killing that has all the same trademarks of one of her first unsolved case. It is a case of someone killing off well to do married couples in the better part of town. Could the killer be playing with her or is it a copycat killer looking for attention?

While Lindsay's running partners and pillars of friendship, Claire and Cindy, don't have as large of a supporting role in this book as in previous installments, they still appear to add a bit of that same camaraderie the first three books had. Lindsay's boyfriend, Joe, also seems to not have found his place in the series. He is there, then he isn't. He needs to commit or back away from Lindsay. I think adding a sidebar for some deep and committal romance would do Lindsay some good.

Overall, a good read, but the series needs to either be given some new ideas and twist or brought to a conclusion. Fans of the series will be happy, but newcomers may not be as amused.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down 1 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
Couldn't resist giving it a go and I am so pleased I did. James Patterson never fails to amaze me and once again he got me in his grip to the point where my partner became a book-widow! This book leaves you in suspense right to the end. The only fault that I would have it didn't go on long enough.

Would recommend this to any one who likes the Womens murder Club.

3.0 out of 5 stars aw, c'mon - it's a good read!! 9 May 2006
By ImReallyAnElf VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Having enjoyed books 1 & 2 in the Women's Murder Club series - though I somehow missed reading the third - I was really pleased to get this 4th in the series, and honestly I wasn't disappointed.

I think the really harsh reviews are unfair - it's not "great literature" but it doesn't have any pretensions to be so!

What it IS is an attention-retaining story which has a few loopholes and a little bit more of the "well, what a coincidence THAT was" elements than I prefer to find in my reading material ... but it's so nicely paced, and the characters still sympathetic enough, that it isn't 'til you finish the book - having thoroughly enjoyed the journey - that you find one or two wee "hang on, what was the point of xyz, that went nowhere" niggles come into your mind.

So if like me, Dickens, Hemingway and Tolstoy et al appeal to you as much as root canal work without anaesthetic, blow your pennies on this - you won't exactly have to be the last Big Spender either - and settle down for a pretty satisfying escape from Real Life for a wee while.
