How did this book get on the New York Times Best Seller List? 
JP's first three books, Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider and Jack and Jill, were good books and impressed me with Patterson as an author. Since then I have read eleven more of his books and most were either one or two stars with a few three stars. I happened to read this book only because it was in a box of books that my daughter gave me to read. This book has three storylines, serial murders and rapes of female escorts –- overdosing patients with the wrong medications – a hospital being sued for malpractice, none of which were directly related and all ended with less than satisfying conclusions. There were many things left unexplained and unanswered, such as why the villains killed and what was the lead that led Lindsay to the villain uncovered in the epilogue. Since this was such a clumsy resolution to the main plot, I didn't even go back to see what part the villain had previously played in the story. At one point in the story the parents of a twelve-year-old boy are not allowed to stay in the hospital over night and the boy only had a broken arm. How realistic was this?

Used books are the best way to save money and still get my reading fix. This product will serve my purpose and allow me to relax and enjoy my free time. I will most likely order from you again should you have a book I am looking for in the future.

I'm finished with this series 
I watched the series on TV and really enjoyed it. I found the books and started reading them in order. I'm just glad I didn't download the whole series. The first three books were GREAT! It had great characters, a great storyline, suspense and left me wanting more. When I read the 4th one, I felt like it wasn't as good, but because I loved the characters from the first three books, I thought, certainly the next one would be better and read it. Well, I was wrong! This one is worse yet. The characters are not developed at all. The »club« isn't really together in this one (or #4). I finished the book only because I thought it would get better, but it didn't. I'm done reading this series. I might be tempted to read more if Maxine Paetro is not involved. I can't believe that the great writer, James Patterson, of the original book would allow these books to be put out under his name.

Fast Paced!! Best One Yet
This is so far, my personal favorite in the Women's Murder Club series. This time, there is TWO cases to solve instead of the usual one. Case number one involves mysterious deaths in the hospital. Who is killing almost perfectly healthy people by overdosing them with the wrong medications? Case number two pertains to the pre meditated murders and rapes of female escorts. Suffice it to say, homicide inspector Lindsay keeps pretty busy and readers will find themselves anxious to find out the conclusion. The reader also gets some real good »get to know you« time with the latest addition to the club, Yuki. Something else I noted in this addition to the series is more descriptions and details of what people look like and wear. That is a plus as I feel the first four novels were slightly lacking in that area. My only complaint: When are we going to get to know Cindy better? Nothing has focused on her yet. I am ready to delve deeper into her character.
