16th Seduction (Women’s Murder Club) – James Patterson

Summary:

Fifteen months ago, Detective Lindsay Boxer's life was perfect--she had a beautiful child and a doting husband, Joe, who helped her catch a criminal who'd brazenly detonated a bomb in downtown San Francisco, killing twenty-five people. But Joe wasn't everything that Lindsay thought he was, and she's still reeling from his betrayal as a wave of mysterious, and possibly unnatural, heart attacks claims seemingly unrelated victims across San Francisco. As if that weren't enough, the bomber she and Joe captured is about to go on trial, and his defense raises damning questions about Lindsay and Joe's investigation. Not knowing whom to trust, and struggling to accept the truth about the man she thought she knew, Lindsay must connect the dots of a deadly conspiracy before a brilliant criminal puts her on trial. 

My Review:

I have been a James Patterson fan since before James Patterson became James Patterson. My 10^th grade high school boyfriend gave me my first JP book, Kiss the Girls and I was hooked! Almost 25 years later here I am…addicted to anything written by James P and his many co-authors.

I have followed Detective Lindsay Boxer and the Women’s Murder Club since 1^st to Die and the stories never fail to entertain. I always enjoy the way JP writes. His books are easy to follow with the end of each chapter leaving you wanting more. In the previous books, we have been with Lindsay as she married Joe and had her baby girl all while juggling the crazy life of being a San Francisco detective. With the help of her best girlfriends, she always solves each case, but this one hit way too close to home. In 15^th Affair, Lindsay and Joe were in a dark place due to the secrets he kept. Just when things were looking up and they were making moves to get their relationship back on track, BOOM. Literally. Not only was Lindsay’s career on the line as a result of a crackpot maniac but Joe was now fighting for his life after being caught in a random bombing.

The suspense was killing me and I ran through this one in less than a week. Great read, as always! Can’t wait until Women’s Murder Club #17!
