1.0 out of 5 stars One of Patterson's worst, 5 July 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The 6th Target (Womens Murder Club 6) (Hardcover)
'The 6th Target' is the sixth entry in the Women's Muder Club series by James Patterson, with returning detective Lindsey Boxer on the case after a shoot-out on a ferry leaves several people dead and one woman, Women's Murder Club member Claire Washburn, fighting for her life.
Also, Boxer is faced with a series of kidnappings of children and their nannies from wealthy families. The kidnappers do not demand a ransom, making the parents fear the worst.

These seemingly random, unlinked cases are not quite action-packed as you'd expect from this series but does keep you turning the pages mainly because of Patterson's usual short chapters and the also the hope that something important is going to happen soon. The book loses a lot of the tension of the whole story halfway through as one case suddenly stops and the other begins - a stupid and quite unprofessional move by Patterson, making me believe that it may be a rookie mistake from co-writer . This also triggered my thoughts with his decision of Lindsey all of a sudden not wanting to be with her boyfriend anymore, with no real outcome of the whole situation.

This is by far the weakest of all of the Women's Murder Club books and probably one of the worst Patterson has ever written, feeling like a debut novel that hasn't quite worked. The story is predictable and unexciting with disappointing twists and the characters have also become very unlikeable and dull, making you not really care about what happens to them. I just hope this is a one-off bad novel as the rest of the series is very good, and that Patterson's other (and better) series, Alex Cross, does not ever suffer like this.

It is a book that can be read quickly, so if you are a fan of the series it's probably worth a go if only for the ongoing character storylines, but you will most likely be disappointed with the whole book. I wouldn't worry too much if you happen to miss it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of his best!, 20 Sep 2007
By E. Heckingbottom "elaineheck143" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The 6th Target (Womens Murder Club 6) (Hardcover)
I agree with other reviewers. I used to long for the next James Patterson book to come out, but lately they have not been up to his usual standard. A case of trying to produce too many books too quickly, I fear; and this book is one that has suffered. He needs to focus more on the writing and stop racing to be the most prolific author (or co author) in the world. If he were one of my students, his report would read 'James needs to slow down a little and think more carefully about the content and style of his work rather than focussing purely on the quantity.' or words to that extent!

If you have enjoyed the series, you will probably want to read this as the next one - but take my advice. Wait until the book is on the open paperback market. At £3.99, it would make a pleasing, light read. At this sort of price, it is just not worth the hype!

2.0 out of 5 stars shouldnt have bothered, 22 May 2007
By R. K. Lovelock - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The 6th Target (Womens Murder Club 6) (Hardcover)
I have always loved Patterson, but for me the 6th target may have been one womens murder club book too many. The book started off well and had some good ideas, but they seem to be strung together very poorly and in some places not at all. The book went off at tangents with meaningless subplots. All in all a VERY forgettable book that im sure i wont be retuning to. I advise read to 5th horseman then leave it at that unless he comes good with the 7th....
im just glad the book was so short, it was finished in 2 sittings, but very putdownable.
