Book Reviews of 3rd Degree (Women's Murder Club)
Book Review: The Women's Murder Club is Patterson's Finest!
Summary: 5 Stars
In 3rd Degree, Detective Lindsay Boxer and Assistant District Attorney Jill Bernhardt are enjoying a quiet afternoon in San Francisco when a townhouse across the street explodes in flames. A sinister note signed "August Spies" is found at the scene of the disaster, and the body of an infant who was asleep in the house at the time of the explosion cannot be found. Soon a wave of violent incidents, all with links to political terrorism and involving "August Spies," sweeps through the city. An upcoming economic summit of the world's most powerful nations will surely be a target. And it's up to the Women's Murder Club to get to the bottom of the violence before it's too late.
I am a huge James Patterson fan. His writing is completely spellbinding and so easy to read! I read 3rd Degree in 4 hours. The Women's Murder Club Series is his absolute best work. I adore the Alex Cross novels, but the women's series is where Patterson shines. I couldn't put this novel down! I highly recommend James Patterson and all of his novels to any mystery lover out there, especially this series!
Book Review: You go girls!!
Summary: 5 Stars
3rd Degree is the third installment of the Women's Murder Club, and is just as suspenseful and wonderfull as the previous two. A burning house, three dead bodies and a missing baby set the stage to once again plunge Lindsay, Jill, Cindy and Claire into another case of murder and suspense. These three women have been to hell and back together and have grown and matured. I love the way Patterson has developed these heroines and has invested enough time and effort into each personality that you care about what happens to each of them.
This time the girls are dealing with a killer who strikes every three days and it becomes a race to try to catch the killer and keep the body count at a minimum. On top of the frantic need to catch a murderer, one of the women is harboring a deep, dark secret, that will prove fatal. Which Murder Club member is it and what will happen to her? This one will keep you reading until you reach the last page.
Book Review: Love the women...not so much the story
Summary: 4 Stars
By now, we're well established with The Women's Murder Club and each of the beautifully drawn members. I'm not sure anything will top the first book in the series, "First to Die", because not only was it our introduction to this unique group as they cautiously formed, but it was a whopping good story. This one is good but not great. The storyline is interesting, but doggone it, there are WAY too many coincidences. That makes it feel a little lazy (I'm on a tirade lately - I'm growing weary of getting settled into what feels like a good book only to find that the story is driven by coincidences and convenient character location - it really does feel lazy). Having said that, these are women with whom I want to keep company and time spent with them is still worthwhile. But are have the really good plot ideas already been taken?Book Review: Exciting...A Real Page Turner
Summary: 5 Stars
3rd Degree grabs you from the first page of the book, until you reach the last page. It takes you on an almost "real life" rollercoaster ride with the Women's Murder Club. I found myself so into this book from the first page, that I could barely put it down!
Returning are Lindsay, Jill, Claire and Cindy. We got introduced to Joe Mollineri who I hope will be a new addition to this series and love interest for Lindsay.
A series of bombings and killings has the girls puzzled, who is behind this? Why are they doing this? Why did they have to hit us at home with this one? The "killer" is the last person you'd think of! I don't want to reveal too much about the storyline, cause then you'd know how its going to end. So all I can say is, PICK THIS BOOK UP AND READ IT. You will not regret it!
Book Review: Intriguing...
Summary: 5 Stars
James Patterson is a great story teller! It had been a while since I read the first two books, but I fell back into the stories of the Women's Murder Club right away. And this one has a shocker that I just couldn't believe!
The first two books followed the same formula...they thought they caught the murderer, but really hadn't and had to do a last minute scramble to get the guy. This book doesn't follow that same formula. Devastating things happen and the reader knows all along who the killers are. Maybe not how it is all linked, but the reader knows who is responsible for the murders.
It is very intriguing and seems very real. I liked this story and was glad to get back into the Women's Murder Club saga. I'm ready for another one!
