Good thriller...

I do love a good thriller and there's no writer quite like Patterson for twists, turns and an evil character! This was no exception. I haven't read any of his Womens Murder Club books before and Im glad I stumbled upon the first in the series before others as I hate to read books in the wrong order. Its a pet hate!
This was a very good thriller. Patterson sure knows how to write an evil character and this might have been one of his worst. I love Lindsay Boxer as the main character can't wait to read more about her!

Easy to read, thrilling and ful of strong women, all I like for a summer reading.
It is not a 4 stars only because I don't I managed to guess the murderer too quickly :)

The story was OK but all of the characters and their relationships felt very fake. It's quick and easy reading though so I'll probably end up reading more in the series eventually.

Great book

I really liked this first book in the Womens Murder club series, very sad they took it off the air. I will be getting more in this series very soon. I recommend this book to everyone who loves James Patterson and a good mystery.
