20th Victim

This is another book in the woman's murder club series. The storytelling is pacy and exceptional, full of suspense, emotional and I read it in one weekend. Brilliant. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book.

I love the Women's Murder Club series so was super excited to read the latest installment! It's rare to have a group of such strong, successful female characters and I love reading about them trying to balance family & friendships whilst kicking ass at work!
I didn't want to put this book down. The chapters are short and full of action, meaning it's easy to fly through the story. I don't want to give anything away so I won't say much about the plot other than it's another excellent, fast-paced thriller! I really liked the way the professional dynamic between crime reporter Cindy and Sgt Lyndsey Boxer was explored in this book.
For those that haven't read any others in the series (I can't recommend enough that you should read these!) the book still works as a stand alone thriller and is perfect for anyone that enjoys a gripping twisty crime novel

Another really good book in this series. Fast paced with plenty of action and love and friendship as always. This is a compelling read which I read in one sitting and really enjoyed.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

I have read and loved all of the previous Women’s Murder Club book and can honestly say this one is no different. If you haven’t read any of the previous books then this can be read as a stand-alone but I would highly recommend you read the whole series.

A man is shot dead whilst in his car next to his pregnant wife, who is unharmed. Lindsay Boxer is called in to investigate but she is up against it as there are no witnesses and the killer seems to be a trained marksman. Soon the body count is growing and it is happening across states. Can Lindsay solve the mystery before more deaths ?

Meanwhile Claire is having to take some time off due to her health. Yuki is having to prosecute someone she doesn’t believe should be sent to prison but can she find a way to save him without losing her job. Cindy, as always, is investigating the shootings on her own and suddenly she has contact from someone claiming to be the shooter. Can she help Lindsay to find the killer ?

Although the 20th book in the series this is just as good as all 19 previous books and they never get boring. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked and I love the short chapters. If you’ve read the previous books you will know how good this series is and if not then this is one series you won’t get bored of.

Thank you to Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book.

Once again, James Patterson delivers another brilliant book. Although part of a series, can easily be read as a stand alone which is a bonus. A brilliant, fast paced thriller you can't put down!

My thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK for the opportunity to read and review honestly.

Paterson’s latest instalment of the Women’s Murder Club is interesting and one that I was interested to delve in after not reading for a number of years.

The Women’s Club seems to be going strong though as I haven’t read the series for about ten years and have lost touch with the series, it seems that the closeness is not as apparent as in the beginning of the series.

The writing style is a bit staccato but works within the main plotting. Most of the chapters are in the third person except the odd chapter told in the first person. This works overall though it can be a bit jarring at first. The plot moves at a quick pace making this a real page turner and keeps the reader involved though the last few chapters seems to be quickly wrapped up to a head spinning turn.

The characters are very likable and although there is a sort of tightness with the characters they seemed to be a bit more fragmented than in previous books in the series. Some of the characters do tend to blend and it sometimes they do get a little muddled but because easier to differentiate towards the end.

Overall, this is a very good page turner which kept me personally involved. As it is 20th or more in the series, I am sure that if I kept with the series, I would probably have a little bit more to go on as far as the internal relationships of the main women. The lead up is very interesting though found the conclusion a bit too quick and reliant on an easy wrap up. If you are new to the series, not sure if this would be the one to start out with as the first in the series, had better development of the core characters but still a fun read overall.

I just love this series and all of the characters! This latest in the series continues with the fabuous bond betweeen the ladies of the club, in a fast paced novel, another page turner!

3 killings in 3 different States but all at the same time, precise shootings by a practised sniper?

Someone/s are targeting drug dealers, users, to try to clean up the streets and prevent more deaths by overdoses. Killings increase, and also at the same time each member of the group are facing other life changing problems.

It's a great read, what next in store for the Women's Murder Club?

James Patterson does it again!! The Women's Murder Club is the series that keeps me coming back for more. 1st to Die was the first 'adult' book I ever read growing up and I've had a love affair with this series and these women ever since.

As always, the plotline is well thought out, fantastically written and captivating. Our leading ladies are as fantastic as we remember them and as badass too!

This is another brilliant installment to an already fantastic series!

I love James Patterson's books and this did not disappoint. I was gripped from the start and this was a real page turner following 3 separate stories that kept me intrigued and up until the small hours. Keep up the good work.

I have read all the books in the women's murder club series and love all of their characters. This one does not disappoint and is a page turner as is all the others. I will highly recommend this series.

This is the first women's murder club book I have read, and I did enjoy it, as a more rounded take on the investigative novel than the usual.

I thought the character interactions were well done, and the storylines (each of the main characters had their own dramas happening) engrossing (I read it till late and started again immediately on awakening). The plots intertwine slightly, which makes for additional intrigue. Personally, I prefer novels with proof being harder to come by, but that may just be a personal choice.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and would buy another in the series.
