0.)The 6th Target Maxine Paetro, James Patterson Little, Brown & Company; 2007 Hardcover
Product Description When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt.
And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death.
And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.
reviews
Love this series!
This book is another great part of the Women's Murder Club series! I enjoy this book and if you like James Patterson's other books, you'll love this one and the rest of the series …
Not a bullseye, but Patterson hits the target(3.5 stars)
I mistakenly read '7th Heaven' before this one, but I'm going to review them in order! This episode in the 'Murder Club' saga features more than enough action(and romantic developents) to keep fans occupied.
The main storyline of the 'ferry shooter' throws in some interesting legal complexities, as well.
The child-abduction subplot is, IMO, not as compelling, and is actually a bit melodramatic, and the third storyline, involving Cindy, seems a bit orced just to give someone other than Lindsay a share of the spotlight, but this book does a better job of balancing the action than other entries in the series. One of the storylines has a somewhat ambiguous ending,continuing a recent trend for Patterson's series.
Lindsay's personal life, as usual,gets plenty of attention, and sets events in motion for book 7.
The story is fast-moving, but some of the novelty and 'rush' of the earlier books is missing from this one. It's still a worthwhile read for Patterson fans, and is accessible enough for anybody who hasn't followed the series.
terrible
It took me over a month to finally finish this piece of crap. I kept hoping that it would all come together in the end but instead it was several different boring storylines that never connected with each other. I can't believe Patterson actually let his name be used on this book. It was a total waste of time and money.
Entertaining, but …
I enjoyed reading The Sixth Target,but longed for better character development among the main players.
Not the best of the series
I love the WMC series and have read all of them (up to this one,) but he's beginning to crank these out so quickly that it appears to be affecting the quality a bit. The multitude of unconnected and unresolved storylines made this one feel a little disjointed. It also didn't keep me guessing until the very end like most of the WMC novels do. It's a quick read and enjoyable if you like Patterson and this series, but definately the weakest of 1-6.
