Description from Amazon:
“When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women’s Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies–but the kidnappers aren’t demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death.
And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she’d face–with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.”
MY REVIEW:
Ok, so I have enjoyed Patterson’s books over the years and while I did like this book, I was also slightly annoyed by it as well. Here’s why. There two completely separate cases going on at the same time and the book would flip back and forth between each one, making for a choppy reading experience. I kept waiting for something to happen so it would all come together and make sense. It just didn’t happen for me. I love this series and I will continue reading it, but this wasn’t one of my favorite Patterson books.
Never heard anything bad about any Patterson book!
I know exactly how you feel about the chopping of the book by 2 storylines. Although I haven't read the book you're reviewing, I've read Jack & Jill, and had the same problem. Although there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the book, my reading experience wasn't top notch.
Wonderful blog, by the way. I'm putting you on my blog roll, as well as following you.
NY Book Cafe – I know!! I thought I would never write anything that wasn't 5 stars for a Patterson book!! I'd have to give this one only a 4. It's still good, just not my favorite!Nikola – Thank you for posting!! I'm off to check out your blog as well!!
