The Women's Murder Club series is great. The women in the club are smart,cool and fun. They help each other not only in their jobs but in their personal lives.

This novel was written for the popular market and it shows. Nothing wrong with that, the guy is making a lot of money and he has his following. We found it predictable and formulaic and the ending far-fetched and unbelievable. And we couldn't quite figure out why the main character had a deadly disease throughout the book (except to formulaicly raise the tension) only to recover miraculously at the end. If reading popular fiction is your cup of tea, go for it, it would be just for you on a snowy evening by the fire. Otherwise, go for something with a bit more meat.

This book was amazing! As always Patterson maintains your attention from start to finish. If the other 10 in this series are anything like the first I'm in for a treat. Everything was straightforward and realistic for a fiction murder mystery. Great female motivational concept novel. You go girl, all the way!
