Confusion, Crime, and Capture....

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019

Another, rather light tale, of the Women's Murder Club. Challenging crime solution of an unusual criminal to keep Lindsay confused as to the actual crime. Enjoyed the story, but felt that this story was rather light. Not up to my usual expectation of an outstanding tale from this writing team.

I don't want to be preached to, or read about the author's virtue signaling through a character.

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019

Boring. This series has taken a sharp turn and is not good anymore. Lindsay is an awful mother. They've turned her husband into a wuss.

Also, enough with the politics. They threw in an asinine side story about an illegal immigrant who was in prison awaiting trial for 2 years, for murder. But he didn't do it, because his wife said so. (And it's not "undocumented" immigrants, it's ILLEGAL immigrants.)

I've read the previous 18 books in this series. This is one of the few books that I have tried to read and just had to stop. I want my $14.99 back. Seems like just a way to milk the series for whatever they can get. Insultingly stupid.

This is one of the worst books in the series. Starts off with a bang, then fizzles out. Too many red herrings. Characterizations are flat. Convoluted, boring plot. And a ridiculous "Epilogue." A total disappointment. Boxer and Co. deserve better.

Political agenda

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was hoping for a wonderfully written, intriguing story. Unfortunately, couldn't get past the poorly disguised political agenda regarding illegal immigration. Only made it through about a tenth of the book. I wish I could get a refund. I hear this story everyday in the news. I don't need to pay a famous author for it. Plus, seems like the writing is being done by an intern of some type. The story is very hard to piece together. Not the story I was looking for.

Strike out!

Ugh, this is a strike out for the Women's Murder Club. I love this series and have read each one. This book was poorly written and way too "fluffy." The book is full of typo's and misuse of words. It's the last Patterson book I pre-order. I'm becoming disappointed more often than not with his books. I've read him for 30+ years. He's had more misses than hits lately!

Done reading books written by Patterson’s CoWriters...HORRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!

I have read EVERY book in this series.....and I have to say this is a waste of $! I honestly don’t think James Patterson even writes his own books anymore. It was disjointed, The main characters “The Women’s Murder Club” didn’t interact at all throughout the book, Lindsey personality seemed to change in this book...it was a shame. I really used to like James Patterson’s books...but as the years go on they feel very disjointed which makes me lean to more and more of his Co-Writers writing the book and slapping his name on it to sell them. Well Mr Patterson, not that you really need my $14.99....but I am DONE PAYING FOR YOUR BOOKS. love amazon but highly suggest using your local library to read ANYTHING by Mr. Patterson.

Okay Story

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

A police department going into overdrive on Christmas because of random, anonymous tips about a possible crime maybe being committed was too much. Everyone was running in circles with each new fake threat and it became too repetitive and boring after a while. Joe’s mysterious older daughter is finally brought into the storyline which was good because it was weird there was only one mention of her from a past book. Overall, an okay story but it needed more WMC because they never even met up until the end of the book.

Worst Book in the Series

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Usually, the Women's Murder Club books come out in May. Maybe this one was rushed to take advantage of Christmas, but it suffered greatly for it. The plot was totally full of holes. Why was the mastermind so determined to tie up the police with wild goose chases when his target was something that would never have caught their attention to begin with. The book never actually explained what the specific crime was, nor how he was going to pull it off. It was also beyond the realm of belief to think that such a milquetoast could strike such fear and obedience in so many. Then there was the liberal virtue-signalling story of the illegal immigrant who Yuki and Cindy managed to help through some unknown document that magically appeared and was never explained. Claire barely had a cameo appearance in this story. I not only was bored with this book, I was actually mad that so many attempts were made to insult my intelligence!

I've read all of the Women's Murder Club books. I think they just threw this one together so they could have a "Christmas" book, but it was so disjointed, separate stories going all over the place, that it was difficult for me to even finish reading. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
