A review by kellyldriver
7th Heaven by Maxine Paetro, James Patterson
4.0
At the start of the gripping seventh Women's Murder Club thriller from bestseller Patterson and Paetro (after 2007's The 6th Target), San Francisco is still haunted by the disappearance of Michael Campion, the much-adored teenage son of a former California governor, three months earlier. Following up on a tip that Michael was last seen entering a prostitute's house, homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer and her new partner, Rich Conklin, are shocked when the hooker immediately confesses that Michael, who had a heart defect, died during sex and she disposed of his body. Lindsay's ADA pal, Yuki Castellano, is sure she has a slam-dunk case, but the trial soon takes a bizarre turn. Lindsay and Rich also scramble to track down a serial arsonist responsible for murdering a string of wealthy couples. Lindsay races to put the pieces together before the fires hit too close to home.
I’m a big fan of the Women’s Murder Club series. The book is like the other six that precede it, a thrilling, fast-paced read, perfect for summer reading.
I was a little disappointed in this “chapter” of the series. I felt as if the authors were trying to fit too much into the story with the arson murders, the missing teenager, Lindsay trying to decide between her partner and her boyfriend, as well as the ongoing relationship between the women.
The arson murders were by far the more interesting case in the story however, the explanation for the arson murders was lame.
I felt that there was way to much attention paid to the Michael Campion story but I was pleasantly surprised with the twist at the end that that I did not see coming.
If you are a fan of The Women’s Murder Club series it is definitely worth a read.
