Didn’t Like It

“ya, i read it. at the insistence of my little sister that loves books like these.

I didn't like it. Too much gore, not enough treasure or james bond-like happenings.

It's about a small group of women that have integral parts in solving murders and form an unofficial club for doing so. Not bad writing, just not my style. Won't read anymore James Patterson books.”

    “This is one of those books you just can't put down.

    I liked the alliance of the women's murder club, and Lindsay's determination to find the killer, despite battling against illness.

    Nicholas Jenks was a nasty piece of work, as well.”
