James Patterson: 4th of July


I've read quite a few of James Patterson's novels recently, although most have been from the Alex Cross Series. This one was a pretty good read and was a clear demonstration of Patterson's ability to keep the reader turning page after page to see what happens next. If you are a fan of the plot twist, you should definitely get this book.

This one follows the trials of Lindsay Boxer as she tries to catch a serial killer who is tantalisingly leaving clues to his identity with each crime. She's getting closer and closer, until the plot takes a nasty twist and plunges the reader in to confusion. You might think you guessed, but you're probably wrong!

Brilliantly done.
A young man is found dead in a seedy hotel room; electrocuted in his bath with a toaster. This is the second electrocution murder Lindsay Boxer has come across and the message left in graffiti on the wall at the scene of the crime is the same: NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. What does it refer to? The one clue Lindsay and her partner Jacobi have is that a black Mercedes was spotted at the scene of both murders. But when they follow a car they think is connected, they get more than they bargained for. Full of the high suspense and fast-moving plotlines for which James Patterson is best known, this promises to be the most exciting Women's Murder Club case yet.
