About this ebook
The Women's Murder Club takes on two deranged killers, but Detective Lindsay Boxer begins to wonder if the mysterious case is also breaking apart her closest friendships in this thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author.
During an intimate dinner party, a cat burglar breaks into the home of A-list actor Marcus Dowling. When his wife walks in on the thief, the situation quickly teeters out of control, leaving an empty safe and a lifeless body.
The same night, a woman and her infant are gunned down in an abandoned garage. The killer hasn't left a shred of evidence, except for a foreboding and cryptic message: WCF, the letters written in blood-red letters.
With two deranged killers on the loose Detective Lindsay Boxer calls on the Women's Murder Club to help her stop them. But someone is leaking information to the press—details that only those on the inside could know.
As allegations fly that Lindsay is the source, she has to wonder: how much she can trust her closest friends?

I liked the first 3 or so Women's Murder Club books (the second 2 of which also had a secondary writer), but like most books by James Patterson and a co-author, this one is pretty terrible. The problem isn't the plot or 1-dimensional characters -- those I can live with. The problem is that the writing is about on a 4th-grade level. Seriously, the Twilight books have more writing depth; better, more natural dialogue; and easier to stomach prose -- and they're terrible! This entire books is throwaway teen lit with the occasional sex scene or bit of violence thrown in to justify selling it to adults. And if you're looking for some interesting insight into the actual Murder Club, look elsewhere. Here they are all just stand-ins for Alex Cross or any of a thousand other crime-series protagonists. It filled up exactly the 2 hours I spent flying from Vegas to Denver (and I'm not a fast reader) so I guess it did its job.

I'm not easily offended but unless you want to read about killing children walk away. Couldn't finish this book. Patterson must be hard up for money to put out a story like this.

Awesome book! This is a fast read. It keeps you on your toes as who is commiting these crimes. I definetly would recommend this book.
