Women's Murder Club #6

The 6th Target

... Show More
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.

Every page turn brought new twists and turns that kept me guessing and engaged.

James Patterson has once again proven himself to be a master storyteller with this amazing book.

It's a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading it.

This was truly an interesting read that kept me engaged from start to finish.

I have developed a deep affection for Lindsay Boxer. She has emerged as one of my all-time favorite heroines.

In this particular book, a member of the Women’s Murder Club, Claire, unfortunately, got injured in a ferry shooting. It was fascinating to witness the reactions of the other ladies as they rallied around to offer their member love and support.

I firmly believe that this book has the best storyline thus far. It was filled with crime, mystery, and some truly badass moments that had me on the edge of my seat.

The ending was really outstanding, leaving me with a sense of satisfaction and eager anticipation for what lies ahead.

Now, I am eager to read book 7 and can't wait to discover what the series has in store for me. Overall, it was a great read that I would highly recommend to others.

I am undeniably biased. I have an unwavering love for the Women's Murder Club book series and the captivating characters that inhabit it.

However, when it comes to this particular installment, I must admit that it was disappointingly well below the standard of the others I have devoured.

The story seemed to lack the usual spark and intensity that has always drawn me in. The pacing was sluggish, and the plot failed to grip me as tightly as its predecessors.

In fact, I found myself losing interest just one third of the way through. It was a struggle to keep turning the pages, and I ultimately decided to put the book aside.

While I will always have a soft spot for the Women's Murder Club, this book was a let-down. I hope that future installments will return to the high standards that I have come to expect from this beloved series.

I really had to push my way through this one.

It was such a struggle to get through the pages. I just feel he didn't have any passion for this book at all.

The author seemed to lack enthusiasm, which translated into a rather dull and unengaging read. It was lacking a lot.

There were so many aspects that could have been developed further, but they were left unexplored. Yes, I enjoyed one or two things that happened in the book,

such as a particular scene or a character's moment of realization. However, for the most part I was bored out of my mind.

The story dragged on, and I found myself constantly checking how much was left to read. It's a shame because the premise had potential, but it just didn't deliver.

I hope the author can find more passion and bring more life to their future works.

Book 6 in the series "A Women's Murder Club" is an absolute gem.

I have been completely hooked on this series from the start, and this particular book is no different. It offers not only a thrilling and engaging plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, but also numerous surprises that will leave you breathless. It's like a shot of adrenaline for readers.

As we delve into this mystery, we get to know the members of this unique club a little better and become immersed in their diverse life choices. The story kicks off on a ferry boat, where six shots are fired, killing four passengers and injuring one of the club's members, Claire Washburn. Now, while Claire fights for her life, the others must race against time to keep a dangerous madman behind bars before anyone else is harmed.

If you're a fan of courtroom scenes, you'll love the typical exchanges between lawyers, witnesses, and the accused. Yuki Castellano makes her first murder case presentation with style and pizzazz.

Meanwhile, San Francisco is facing a spate of other strange crimes. Children with their nannies are being abducted from the streets for no apparent reason, and Cindy Thomas finds her apartment building under attack by vandals. In the midst of the growing panic and excitement, Police Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer has to balance her personal life with the investigations.

Can things get any more complicated? Oh yes! There's also a hint of romance thrown in to add an extra layer of complexity. This series just keeps getting better and better with each new installment.

I really enjoyed it very much.

So far I have read four of the books in the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson, and they are all extremely good.

As is the norm, there are several murder plots within the same book.

The Women's Murder Club consists of four women: Lindsay, Yuki, Claire, and Cindy. They are all great friends and they assist each other in dealing with the complications in their lives.

I particularly relished the romantic complications in Lindsay's life! (She is the main character in the book as well as in all of the books in this series.)

James Patterson has his own unique style. He writes very short chapters, typically between 2 - 4 pages, which makes it effortless to find a stopping point whenever needed.

I do indeed intend to read all of the other books in the Women's Murder Club series. I am eager to explore more of the thrilling stories and the complex relationships among the characters.

The series has truly captured my attention and I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead for the Women's Murder Club.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys mystery and crime novels with strong female characters.
