1.0 out of 5 stars James Patterson wrote this?, July 12, 2007

This review is from: The 6th Target: The Women's Murder Club (Hardcover)

I have my doubts. . . Did James Patterson really write this or did Maxine Paetro? James Patterson writes page turning thrillers that keep you hanging onto the edge of your chair. This book is more of a sad romance with little action and mixed plot lines. James Patterson is capable of much better. The Women's Murder Club doesn't even solve anything in this would-be whodunnit. If your looking for a good read, don't look here.

1.0 out of 5 stars Going with the tide..., July 6, 2007

This review is from: The 6th Target: The Women's Murder Club (Hardcover)

I'd have to agree that this installment of the Women's Murder Club was very disappointing. I love JP, but I'm not really a WMC fan. I really do not like Boxer at all. The ME is terrific though - she should get her own series. But this sixth installment is terribly bland, boring, and scattered.It started out with a bang (literally!), but died 10 pages later. And was never resurrected. Especially there was no "club". The other girls were more or less a sideline and had no real part. It was really boring.

This review is from: The 6th Target: The Women's Murder Club (Hardcover)

I have read most of James Patterson's books, and all of the Women's Murder Club series and I can honestly say that this book was disappointing for me. While Patterson stayed true to his characters, he did too much with the plot. Most of the main events in the book had nothing to do with each other making the storyline very choppy and almost annoying at times. Not a horrible book, though not worthy of a thumbs up either.
