Synopsis:
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.

A Very Intriguing and Suspenseful Series.

Holy Cow! Lindsay Boxer has her hands full in this installment. Multilayered with non stop action
kept me glued, in fact, I listened to it twice just to enjoy it.

This is my favorite installment to date, Lindsay is in a mad dash to find out who the culprit is... she has a personal interest motivating her, who shot her friend? Another spine tingling twist takes place, causing me to gasp at its horrific portrayal. Mindboggling suspense drives this story forward to a terrifying and intense end.

Will the new love interest make the cut or not remains to be seen.


So cannot wait to get my audiobook of installment, #7.

Great Narration - Slow-paced Story

In this fifth installment of James Patterson's Women's Murder Club, The 5th Horseman, we find Lindsay in the middle of some gruesome, and mysterious happenings even at the hospital. Somewhat slower paced than the previous installments, it is still a great addition to the series. We even have a new member in the Women's Murder Club. 

Well-written with descriptive scenarios twisting and embarking on a journey that I found to be  intense and suspenseful, they grabbed my heart with a déjà vu feeling... Been there.. done that!  Heart wrenching!! 

I Love the world though, I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area... Identifiable! Makes it all
the more pleasurable. IMHO!

Carolyn McCormick is quite a narrator, I enjoy listening to her voice differentiations between the characters. How she can keep them straight is beyond me. You Go Girl!

All on all, I found this to be a 4 out of 5 Hearts. Bring on #6💥The 6th Target.

💥Synopsis💥



After losing one of its own, Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club make a courageous return for their fourth and most chilling case ever, one that could easily be their last. A young girl is killed in crossfire after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her career and her sanity.
While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the beautiful town of Half Moon Bay, but the peaceful community there is reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings and a case she worked on years before: an unsolved murder that has haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles for her life on two fronts: before a judge and jury as her trial comes to a climax; and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep her from the truth about the killings, including killing again. It all comes to a head before the big annual 4th of July celebration on the waterfront at Half Moon Bay. Patterson fine-tunes the tension like never before in this heart-racing new novel in the best-selling detective series to debut in years.

Such a Great Series!


This review is for 4th of July, book #4 in James Patterson's Women's Murder Club. They should be read or heard in order, as there are some elements mentioned that derive from previous installments. 



Some of the judicial steps may be presented differently but, this is fiction, so in my honest opinion, that's acceptable.


San Francisco, California, also known as San Francisco Bay Area, or just 'The Bay Area', is my childhood stomping grounds. How I miss them too. I recognize the places and towns mentioned, that is a definite plus in my book.



Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer finds herself in an unbelievable dilemma and having to defend herself and her actions, makes the plot sweeter. 


I enjoy the  short and fast paced chapters, the background accompaniment of sounds, and the action from start to finish. This is a journey through some tragically twisted events and horrifying turns as the race is on. Lindsay strikes me as a strong female who refuses to stop until she solves whatever she is chasing. Gotta Love that!


The narrator did a wonderful job of presenting the characters in clearly distinguished voices. Awesomeness!
