7th Heaven

The Women's Murder Club

By: James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Narrated by: Carolyn McCormick

A terrible fire in a wealthy suburban home leaves a married couple dead and Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner Rich Conklin searching for clues. And after California's golden boy, Michael Campion, has been missing for a month, there finally seems to be a lead in his case - a very devastating lead.

As fire after fire consume couples in wealthy, comfortable homes, Lindsay and the Murder Club must race to find the arsonists responsible and get to the bottom of Michael Campion's disappearance. But suddenly the fires are raging too close to home.

Frightened for her life and torn between two men, Lindsay must find a way to solve the most daunting dilemmas she's ever faced - at work and at home.

Critic reviews

"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." ( Publishers Weekly)

I love the Women's Murder Club series and this book was no exception. It kept my mind so occupied on my daily walks at noon that I cheated and wound up listening to it in the car on my way home, as well.

Enjoyed beginning to end. Fast forward thru the love scenes... there's a reason I don't read Harlequin romance (boring). Looking forward to Book #8!

yes and they are always riveting

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no

A bit convoluted but interesting nonetheless.

As with all James Patterson novels, I had to listen to this all in one day. He had his usual multi-plots flying although they were rather convoluted and felt like I had entered two books instead of one. I love his Women's Murder Club stories though and as usual, could not put this one off until it reached the end. Especially loved the end. The narrator was a bit stiff in the beginning but it seemed like once she got into the story, even she became more of a performer than just someone reading stiffly out of a book. All in all, it was an attention grabber and an excellent read.

I'm Hooked

I have listened to 1-7 so far getting ready to start 8. Each one has been more thrilling that the other. I'm hooked on this series.

Good continuation of the series.

Would you listen to 7th Heaven again? Why?

I would not listen to it again. There is no compelling reason to listen again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of 7th Heaven?

The ending of the book was had a great plot twist.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator just does not have the ability to clearly differentiate vocally between the characters. At times, I found it difficult to follow who was talking during a conversation.

Club

Not much Women's Murder Club in this volume, but I have enjoyed the series and look forward to my next read.
