Book Reviews of 7th Heaven (Women's Murder Club)
Book Review: A Compelling and Enjoyable Read
Summary: 5 Stars
7th Heaven was one of the best Women's Murder Club books yet - much better than The 6th Target. Lindsay and her partner, Rich Conklin, are investigating a series of arson/murders targeting rich couples. The reader is privy to the crimes, the arsonists, and their rationale which makes for disturbing reading.
They are also called to follow-up on the disappearance of the son of a former California governor. Michael Campion, who has a serious heart defect, disappeared three months ago and the case is growing cold until a tip comes in that he was seen going into the house of a prostitute. The prostitute quickly admits he died in her arms, and she and a friend disposed of the body, in quite a gruesome manner.
Yuki is assigned the Campion case and finds herself up against a pitbull of a defense lawyer. To add to her woes, the prostitute recants her confession.
In the meantime, Lindsay finds she likes living with Joe but begins to take their relationship for granted. She also is attracted to her partner, Rich Conklin, causing an emotional yoyo as she works long hours trying to solve the two cases.
The other two members of the Women's Murder Club are barely mentioned in this book as the authors concentrate on Lindsay and Yuki. I really enjoyed this book much more than I did the previous novel. Getting into the heads of the teens makes for interesting reading if one can get past the gruesome description of the crimes.
The stories flow well, but the emotional struggle Lindsay is going through seems contrived. She and Joe have not lived together all that long for Lindsay to fixate on her partner as much as she does. I realize working closely with someone for long hours can increase the closeness, but why jeopardize a growing relationship with someone you love. Obviously she has committment issues as she has an engagement ring from Joe that is still in the box. Come on Lindsay, wake up!
The surprise ending will take a few moments to process, then one will want to think back on that part of the storyline to see if there were any hints.
All in all, this was a good Patterson/Paetro offering, and I am looking forward to reading the 8th installment of the Women's Murder Club.
