12th of Never

The story could have been tightened up. There were too may different stories - the missing body, the sick baby (that wasn't really sick), the serial killer, AND a trial of another killer. Dear Lord! With that many story lines, the novel should have been 10 times longer than it was.

No - she was way too dramatic. Though the storyline didn't help her any, the voices she used were often distracting and comical.

Not a character, but a storyline. The "missing body" storyline was completely pointless.

Just stay away, even if you are a Women's Murder Club fan. This book was terrible!!!

Way too much to talk about here, but let's just say there were too many subplots and they seemed quite contrived. Additionally, these experienced law men and women at times seemed like novices -- it was quite unbelievable.

No idea.

Everything. She did a wonderful job of giving each of the characters a distinctive voice. I particularly liked her portrayal of the professor.

I'll just say it was entertaining.

Too many unrelated storylines and too much personal drama that had no bearing on the story at all. I waited for this book and I should have waited and read the other comments. Did Patterson take a number of storylines he had sitting on the shelf and throw them into one last novel?

Took a series I had grown to love and made sure I would not read another

Give what she had to work with, she did great

No

The book would have to be re-written to be salvaged.

Characters face too many personal challenges, the reactions are unrealistic, I know from experience.

The plot is silly and demeans the characters; Lindsey Boxer is off my list of reads.

I have read all the Women's Murder Club books but I am beginning to wonder why I bother. Boxer has a baby but did she have a personality transplant also? There was too many stories going on at the same time. One or two would have been better with more time to build the story and follow it to the end. This book made me feel as if I was being pulled one way then another. All but two of the murder club members had a personal crisis the other two had a work related crisis. This book would have been better as two books instead of one. January LeVoy did an acceptable job with the narration considering the chaos of the story lines.

I always enjoy his books. this is the weakest book from him. The story get good until book 4 and too much whining . The narrator must be new because it wasn't the usual voices and the voices were whiny in addition to the text

Absolutely!

She had whiny voice

No!

I waited so long for this book and was so dissappointed

I have followed this series from the beginning; this one gives me permission to let it go. The Women's Murder Club used to consist of one or two cases that Lindsey Boxer and her unofficial team would solve. The books have been going downhill for a while, however, I stuck with it out of some sense of misguided loyalty; I'm sure many readers have as well -- hopeful that the creativity that captured us in the beginning might return. It isn't and this will be the last James Patterson purchase I make. The cases are unrelated and there is absolutely nothing engaging about them or the characters involved in solving them.

A decent story could have helped

No

Can't believe I actually had to pay for this book..

Some continuity, the Joe and Lindsay story line was not good at at all.

The lawyer

I won't spend money on another Murder Club Mystery, will wait to check it out at the library.

The last couple of Women's Murder Club have just gone hill. This one was the absolute worst. I felt like I was watching a bad soap opera with terrible actors trying to work with a hideous script. There were so many 'realllllllly' moments. Lindsey really said that or did that. Do Paetro or Patterson have children? The way certain scenes were written it wouldn't seem like they had any real life experience in that field to draw upon. I will probably read the next one but if its like this one then I'll be done with the series.
