Another reasonably good book in the Women's Murder Club series.
James Patterson's novels are easy to read and a nice escape at the end of a busy day.
In my opinion 7th Heaven was ok but not memorable.
The love triangle between Lindsay Boxer, Joe Molinari and Rich Conklin adds a bit of spice to an otherwise run-of-the-mill storyline.

I always enjoy James Patterson's Women's Murder Club books. This one continues the story of Lindsay and her friends which makes a perfect foil for the sometimes grim cases in which they are involved. To comment on the storyline would perhaps spoil it for the reader but suffice to say, it lives up to its predecessors.

A good read and as a Patterson Women's Murder Club fan, I was not disappointed, fast pace thriller.

It's the biggest case going in San Francisco. The well loved son of a former governor has vanished, and there's been no word for the last several months. So when the SFPD gets a fresh lead, Lindsay jumps. She's surprised when the new suspect confesses to letting the teen die in her arms from a heart condition. Will that be enough for a jury to convict her?
Meanwhile, someone has started setting fires with rich couples in the house. It's a race to find the villains before the next victim is torched. With no clues to go on, can Lindsay stop them?
I discovered something in this book. Somewhere along the way, these characters have become real to me. Real enough that I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. So I was disappointed to see that Cindy pretty much only had a cameo here. And I wanted to sit Lindsay down for a serious talk about her love life, too.
Both plots weave in and out of each other and keep things interesting. As always, this is a fast read, partially because I didn't want to put the book down. One of the stories is well developed and ends quite nicely. The other one, however, fizzles out with an ending that comes out of no where. I think the authors were going for twist over good storytelling.
Still, this book is fast enough reading to make it worth it for series fans. Plus, it's always nice to catch up with old friends, right?
