Book 25 of 52 -- James Patterson's 7th Heaven


I have about given up Patterson, even the Alex Cross Books have gotten a bit stale.

However, the Woman's Murder Club Series continues to hold my interest (I have a feeling this has more to do with Maxine Paetro than Mr.Patterson?).

Quantity isn't as good as quality James.

As is typical San Francisco detective Lindsey Boxer has more than one case to deal with.

One is the death of Micheal Campion, who has been missing for over a month.

Silver spoon son of a wealthy politico, Michael was last seen leaving the house of a Prostitute.

The other case involves the death of a wealthy couple who's burned bodies are found after a house fire.

The two cases seem unrelated, but as the twists and turns develop they do intersect in a surprising way.

As the case in past books in the lives of the members of the Woman's Murder Club are woven into the story to great effect giving some interesting subplots and adding texture to the main plot line.

I'd love to see Ms. Paetro try her hand at a solo effort.
