Publisher's Weekly-Rezension

At the start of the gripping seventh Women's Murder Club thriller from bestseller Patterson and Paetro (after 2007's The 6th Target), San Francisco is still haunted by the disappearance of Michael Campion, the much-adored teenage son of a former California governor, three months earlier. Following up on a tip that Michael was last seen entering a prostitute's house, homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer and her new partner, Rich Conklin, are shocked when the hooker immediately confesses that Michael, who had a heart defect, died during sex and she disposed of his body. Lindsay's ADA pal, Yuki Castellano, is sure she has a slam-dunk case, but the trial soon takes a bizarre turn. Lindsay and Rich also scramble to track down a serial arsonist responsible for murdering a string of wealthy couples. Lindsay races to put the pieces together before the fires hit too close to home. In true Patterson style, the reader is privy to Lindsay's thoughts as well as the killers', ratcheting up the suspense an extra notch. Fans won't be disappointed with the twist at the end that not even Lindsay sees coming. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Guardian Review

James Patterson has sold 165m thrillers; this is the latest in his Women's Murder Club series featuring Lindsay, Yuki, Cindy and Clare - cop, lawyer, crime reporter and forensic pathologist respectively. Previous books include Second Chance , Third Degree , Sixth Target - you get the picture. Anyone who sells 165m thrillers in 18 languages must know what thriller readers want, I just wish it's what I wanted too. There's nothing wrong with the plot or the pace, it's those cutsie girls with their jogging pants and dogs and weekend retreats that I can't bear. If you love them, and millions do, you can download the unabridged version on audible.co.uk for pounds 7.99. A snip.

As homes of the wealthy go up in flames (with the wealthy in them), the governor's son vanishes. Sounds like a case for the Women's Murder Club. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
