Product Description

When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt.


And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death.


And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

2.0 out of 5 stars So-So, June 13, 2007

By	Litchic - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 6th Target (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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, May 22, 2007

By	Randy L. Boyd (Madison Wi) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 6th Target (Hardcover)

I have purchased and read all of this series and I must say this one is a real disappointment. The book comes across as something he wrote ten minutes before the publishing date. The plot line was very thin at best, no drama, character development, real mystery. I expected more for $24. I won't buy another in this series. I've been sad with the last few books in the Alex Cross series, the thrill is gone!

1.0 out of 5 stars couldn't care less, July 10, 2007

By	Marty (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 6th Target (Hardcover)

This book reads as if it were writtem by a committee of people who have never met. There are three crime story lines going on at once and one about the lack of romance. To tell you the truth, I didn't care what would happen in anyone on the "plots", and all I am doing now is wondering why I wasted my time reading this book at all. Thank God I did not pay for it.
There are so many good books out there. Don't waste your time on this one.
