Not Up to standards

Not James Patterson work. I have read most of the Women's Murder Club books and this just wasn't up to snuff.

Disappointing short stories

This was supposed to be Women’s Murder Club book and it was a combination of 3 short stories that were not even interesting. I love James Patterson and have read most of his books but this one is just bad.

A fragment of the storyline I wanted

I wanted the next installment of WMC … not a short story with two random add-ons. The last story didn’t engage me at all. The ranger one was ok after a while. I find myself liking the main character

Of the three, WMC iWas the best.

WMC was short but good story, but not the best of the series. 4 stars. January LaVoy was awesome as usual. The other two stories…MEH! Don’t know that I would’ve purchased them separately.

But, where’s my full length story?!?

I ordered and waited because I thought this would be the next full length WMC book. It was over as soon as it began!
I’d really like to get my credit back to use it for another full length book, please.
