San Francisco Detective Lindsay Boxer is loving her life as a new mother. With an attentive husband, a job she loves, plus best friends who can talk about anything from sex to murder, things couldn't be better.
Then the FBI sends Lindsay a photo of a killer from her past, and her happy world is shattered. The picture captures a beautiful woman at a stoplight. But all Lindsay sees is the psychopath behind those seductive eyes: Mackie Morales, the most deranged and dangerous mind the Women's Murder Club has ever encountered.
In this pulse-racing, emotionally charged novel by James Patterson, the Women's Murder Club must find a killer-before she finds them first.

Review
"Those who haven't read any of the novels in the Women's Murder Club series are cheating themselves."―BookReporter.com
"I can't believe how good Patterson is, whether he's doing a Washington police yarn or traveling a different road with a female narrator. He is always on the mark. I have never begun a Patterson book and been able to put it down."―Larry King, USA Today
"Patterson and Paetro are at their best here, weaving a number of plots together to create a novel that dips and flows across genre lines.... A series that shows no signs of fatigue or flagging."―BookReporter.com --This text refers to the mass_market edition.

I don't remember much about book 12, but as for book 13, I feel like James Patterson is writing less and less of his books. The style was confusing - parts were third person, parts were first. It just makes it somewhat hard to read. Also, procedurally, some parts were just epicly wrong.
There were also too many stories going on in this one. I think maybe the book wasn't "long" enough so they added in the story of Brady and Yuki's honeymoon which, although intriguing, seemed misplaced.
I'll keep reading though, mostly because I want to find out what happens with Cindy.
In this book, Yuki and her fiance finally take the plunge and get married in a very hurried ceremony that is beautiful. I could imagine Yuki in her beautiful wedding gown and holding a lovely bouquet. She and her new husband were then off to a wonderful honeymoon on an Alaskan cruise ship and they couldn't wait to get away.
In the meantime, Lindsay is horrified by what is happening to people in the San Francisco area. Somehow people are ingesting small bombs in hamburgers from a chain of fast food restaurants and are literally blowing up in front of horrified bystanders. The police at first have no clue as to how the perpetrators are doing this, who they are and why they are doing this to innocent people.Claire does the autopsies and finds that is what is causing people to actually explode.
In the meantime, Cindy has run across a dangerous and old nemisis who she wants to interview for the "interview and story of her life" for her newspaper job but it is a dangerous undertaking that Cindy doesn't tell the others about .
The book is full of suspense, but the ending leaves a bit to be desired. I think it might be because...I hope!...it picks up in the next book, the 14th in the series.
Boxer and her partner Rich Conklin, are hot after two different killers. One using a chemical that when it is introduced to our digestive system set off an explosion that blows out our internal organs. What gets to me is simple; if the FBI takes nearly a million hours of video of dvd's and cannot find anyone that looks or is seen on different dvd's, but Boxer and Conklin can after viewing just a few hours, well! Then there is Boxer's baby, Julie. This new born is mentioned through the book, but Joe? Seems like he is only an after thought. Yuki is married now and her new husband it Boxer's boss, Lt. Jackson Brady. These newly weds go off on a honey moon cruise to Alaska. On their return, the ship is taken over by pirates. Brady becomes a national hero when he get the best of the pirates. This is truly a stretch in Patterson and Paetro's writing. Cindy, our Chronicle reporter, takes it upon herself to try and locate the escaped Mackenzie, aka: Mackie, Morales. She is the girl friend of the mass murder from 12th of Never. Cindy travels out of state to locate Mackie and finds that she is no longer staying at the cabin that her late lover's father's cabin. She finds that it has been boogie trapped. Mackie returns to San Francisco to find and kill Boxer. Dr. Claire is still busy processing murdered and other victims that have been brought in to the city morgue. While this book may be entertaining, it lacks. As an example, SFPD would no more go into Oakland to set up a stake out with out calling Oakland Police for their assistance. Both writers have taken liberties with just how the laws work in California. Read this book and see if you can pick these errors out. Of course I understand that this is a writer point of view, but it still should take some research to get it at least partly right. Rated for late teens and older. Violence and strong language.

I think Mr Patterson et al need to concentrate more on quality rather than quantity in the future.

In addition to this, we see Yuki (2nd of the 4 WMC) get married to Brady (who also happens to be Lindsay’s boss). As they go off on their honeymoon, it appears that another thread to the story emerges with an attack on their Cruise ship. If that wasn’t enough then the return of Mackie Morales is the thread to complete the lot. Mackie was an ex-colleague of Lindsay’s who turned out to be a ruthless killer. She is now back and looking for her revenge. It seems that while Mackie is back, Cindy (the 3rd in the 4 of the WMC) is chasing her right back to give her, hopefully, the biggest story of her career in journalism. It appears that Clare (the 4th of the WMC) didn’t want to make much of an appearance.
The writing style is the usual short and sharp affair, which always maintains my interest. Although there are three threads to the story the downside was that it at times appeared a little disjointed. That aside, I thought it was pretty pacey and the reintroduction of Mackie Morales made for a pretty exciting story too. I think the series is a far cry from being where it was in the early days, however this latest book I think is a big improvement on some of the others.
