Product Information

Her husband, Joe, an FBI consultant is also pulled into the situation when he goes undercover at a local gun show to catch a Mexican arms dealer specializing in illegal guns. Things don’t go well and Joe finds himself not only risking his life, but getting in the middle of a serious guns and drug war. In all honesty this is not going to be a proper review of this book. Actually this book probably deserves two stars. Why the five star rating then?

Boxer and her team of detectives. someone is killing cops in the San Francisco and Oakland area and attaching a mysterious note that reads “You Talk, You Die”.This series has been one of the more reliable collections with Patterson’s name affixed, leaving readers able to predict that something good will come of it. The premise is simple and the delivery quite accurate, especially when there are usually numerous plots taking place in a single novel. Patterson and Paetro offer up some decent writing and keep the characters progressing nicely, something that is surely difficult this far into the series. I’m always eager to see what is to come with Lindsay Boxer and her Women’s Murder Club. This novel solidified that for me. And now for the bad news. There were some things that I didn’t like, and I spent some time really thinking and asking myself why I don’t get as jazzed up when I read this series as I used to. It took me a little bit and then I figured it out what it was that was bothering me. The answer was subtle, but it was right in front of me.

The most richly accomplished of the brothers’ pairings to date—and given Connelly’s high standards, that’s saying a lot. As much as I wanted to enjoy this one, as well as other recent books in this series, I just find the formula and structure to be repetitive and predictable. It’s not to say that the book is bad, because it’s not. It’s just not memorable beyond a one-time casual read.At the same time, Cindy Thomas is working on her true-crime thriller about Evan Burke, a high-profile killer that was caught in the previous book of the series. I own and have read every single Women's Murder Club books. I was disappointed in the last one because the writing was and characters were flat and formulaic. One more, this just might be my last one, if I could return it I would, that is how disappointed I am. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. Lindsay Boxer faces a ton of trouble in the latest entry in Patterson and Paetro’s Women’s Murder Club series.
