My first James Patterson! Read for a work assignment. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Knew there'd be a twist, but it wasn't the twist I thought I saw... and honestly I preferred my twist 🤣

This book is not like my traditional contemporary romance/ spicy books I normally read. This murder mystery was one of my top 3 favorite books. If you like criminal minds or law and order SVU this book and book series (Women's Murder Club) Is for you. highly recommend!! It also has strong female leads in traditional male dominated professions which I LOVE!

Definitely not the best of the Women’s murder club series but also not the worst. Luckily it’s fast paced and a quick read. The plot twists are kinda messy not gonna lie but this does make it more unpredictable. 

Side note: Personally I thought the suicidal scenes were a bit too much and unnecessary almost…
