Publisher's summary

It's the 12th book of the Women's Murder Club series, and it's finally time! Detective Lindsay Boxer is in labor - while two killers are on the loose.

Lindsay Boxer's beautiful baby is born! But after only a week at home with her new daughter, Lindsay is forced to return to work to face two of the biggest cases of her career.

A rising star football player for the San Francisco 49ers is the prime suspect in a grisly murder. At the same time, Lindsay is confronted with the strangest story she's ever heard: An eccentric English professor has been having vivid nightmares about a violent murder and he's convinced is real. Lindsay doesn't believe him, but then a shooting is called in - and it fits the professor's description to the last detail.

Lindsay doesn't have much time to stop a terrifying future from unfolding. But all the crimes in the world seem like nothing when Lindsay is suddenly faced with the possibility of the most devastating loss of her life.

Just blah

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I wouldn't say it was a waste of my time but it was lackluster. Still like to follow all the girls

If you’ve listened to books by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro before, how does this one compare?

Not as good, just blah

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

She can be monotone and characters are not well distinguished

Terrible narration

The narrator sounded like she was drunk. If it weren't for the interesting story I would've deleted it.

It could be better...

I totally enjoyed the first few books in this series and that’s why I keep coming back to see if the story lines would get better. In my opinion when Mr. Patterson started writing with someone it changed things. I recommend Mr. Patterson write the next installment by himself and bring back Carolyn McCormick!!!

Good Book

What made the experience of listening to 12th of Never the most enjoyable?

Story and narration.

What other book might you compare 12th of Never to and why?

Can't think of one right now.

Have you listened to any of January LaVoy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, not yet.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes.

Any additional comments?

There were a few parts where the background sounds drowned out the narrator, making it almost impossible to hear what was being said. Other then that, the book was riveting.

Narrator is Awesome, Story Sucks

Is there anything you would change about this book?

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.

What do you think your next listen will be?

No idea.

What about January LaVoy’s performance did you like?

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

Was 12th of Never worth the listening time?

I'll just say it was entertaining.

Patterson & Paetro, a great combination!

I'm a huge fan of James Patterson, but, especially the WMC series. I have not been disappointed with any of the books so far. This one was much shorter in length than the others in the series, but, it was jammed pack full of action and drama. There are multiple plots and all of the characters continue to interest me as various life changes occur. I'm still a fan of the original narrator Carolyn Mccormick but January LaVoy does a good job. All in all, as the story progressed it became quite the nailbiter. Forever a James Patterson fan, I think all his books are credit worthy! I hope that there is a thirteenth book coming soon!
