This novel is the most recent of Mr. Pattersons' "women's murder club" mysteries. I'm not a fan, mostly because I find the plots predictable. But there I was on the (covered) porch on a rainy day, and my spouse put her book down... what was I to do?
There was the usual predictable outcome, but also a surprise twist on the plot. Multiple plots, actually, mostly unrelated, but they do keep the book moving forward. And it certainly is a fast read (maybe because it is so shallow?). I was fairly positive on my review until I thought about a not too subtle thread: Mr. Patterson seems to be sending a message about women in this book: otherwise it would be too much a coincidence that more than one of his female characters displays a striking ability to hide their true feelings, completely reverse their positions, and appear both psycho and evil. Gosh!
