Description
Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:It's finally time! Detective Lindsay Boxer is in labor-while two killers are on the loose. Lindsay Boxer's beautiful baby is born! But after only a week at home with her new daughter, Lindsay is forced to return to work to face two of the biggest cases of her career. A rising star football player for the San Francisco 49ers is the prime suspect in a grisly murder. At the same time, Lindsay is confronted with the strangest story she's ever heard: An eccentric English professor has been having vivid nightmares about a violent murder and he's convinced is real. Lindsay doesn't believe him, but then a shooting is called in-and it fits the professor's description to the last detail. Lindsay doesn't have much time to stop a terrifying future from unfolding. But all the crimes in the world seem like nothing when Lindsay is suddenly faced with the possibility of the most devastating loss of her life.… (more)

Another good outing in the Women's Murder Club Seties, with at least three different strands to the story. Things are changing for at least two of the Club, with Lindsey about to be taken through the wringer and as a result losing focus on the job. This was an interesting episode on many levels. I

I hate to say it, but I think I'm getting tired of the gals in the Women's Murder Club. Lindsay's feels guilty about going back to work when her daughter is ill (perhaps gravely) but she has two major cases to solve, Cindy is having relationship problems, Claire gets demoted when a body disappears

from her morgue, and Yuki is trying yet another case of her career. How much drama can 4 women have all at the same time? Like all of Patterson's books it's a fast read with lots of action, but it's just not as good as the previous novels in this series. One has to wonder how much Patterson is actually writing these days as opposed to his co-writers, because this series has defintely lost some of its magic. Show Less

Familiar characters make this book a comfortable read. Cliff hangers and multiple faced paced plots are classic Patterson. Too much violence in the newer patterson books.
LibraryThing member TomWheaton
A typical Women's Murder Club book. Several storylines going on and the continuing sagas of each of the Club's members, especially Lindsey Boxer & her baby. There is a hook in the last sentence that leads the reader to think there will be at least one more book in this series.
LibraryThing member imyknott
Usual James Patterson style. Good fast paced story although lacked a bit of the unexpected excitement. Still a good read though.
LibraryThing member Barb_H
The story was great and I love the characters in this series. I deducted a star though because I got annoyed at the author for rehashing things that just happened 50 pages ago.
LibraryThing member Grandy
Very good read as most of James Patterson, have read other of his books about the women's murder club, enjoyed it.

This was one of the better Women's Murder Club books for me in a while.
There wasn't a lot of language but a good story.
I didn't see where the women had as much to do with solving this one as in some of the past but it was well written, moved quickly and made me want to stay in the car and hear
Once of the best things for me of this book on tape was the music in the background. I love the chase scene.
Well done.

I always like the Women's Murder Club stories, and this one didn't disappoint. Morales' outcome makes me wonder what we'll see in future books. Keep them coming, please.

I loved how Lindsey reacted to having her baby. I think it is so like her to be head over heels in love with her new baby, yet drawn to go back to work after only 4 weeks. The tension between the baby's need for her and her desire to be part of the team involved in a former case was handled in a

very believable way. On the other hand, Claire didn't seem to have her customary self-confidence and drive, and I wondered where that went? There wasn't much interaction among the four women, which I think hurt the book overall. Show Less

Murder, mayhem - throw in a sick baby - what more could you ask for? Lindsey Boxer is almost stretched to her limit in this one - balancing her life as a homicide detective with her life as a mom. Good one!

Honestly, I do not think I need to write a review as the reviews before mine say it all. Formulaic.

This installment of the Women's Murder club series is not a disappointment. I had a hard time putting the book down. Well written and a lot of variety events happened that kept me reading on to get answers to all the adventures and mystery throughout.

The story leads into two killers who need to be stopped, while the police department was being detoured to a professor who keeps going into the precinct with dreams of murder before they happen. Plus, Clair is in turmoil and hot water because she lost a body in the morgue…. Fun as always and a must read. Show Less

The big news at the beginning of this novel is that Lindsey is having her kid. That was also the plot that got me through this crazy jumble of plots and subplots in the novel. Little Julie has a very exciting start to her life, and while the twists in the Baby Julie storyline weren't surprising, it
None of the other storylines surprised me either. Richie and Cindy are having some problems with their engagement, Claire is having trouble at work, a body disappears and she gets blamed for it. And Yuki is trying a dirty lawyer who is accused of killing his wife. At first her plot is the one that is going the best, but of course, that turns on a dime too and gets interesting (second most interesting story in the novel).
There's also a new intern at Lindsey and Richie's precinct. Mackie, a young woman doing some sort of psych grad work or something.
I liked this particular entry in the Women's Murder Club series a bit more than usual, but still, there was just so much going on. It was like a three-ring circus. I felt like I missed a part of all the stories because I needed six eyes to read all of them at once.
It also seemed like the Women's Murder Club just isn't as much of a crime solving juggernaut anymore. That was one of the things I liked about the series, they managed to solve the crimes when the 'big strong, blah blah blah men' couldn't. Now, instead, it seems like the men are doing the solving and the books are all about all those boring hetero relationships instead of the trails and autopsies, the cases, the stories... and what happened to the mysteries?
Still, it was a mostly enjoyable and fast read, I just wish that they'd go back to the soul of the Women's Murder club books again. One mystery, all four ladies (I still miss Jill).

James Patterson's stories compel a reader to continue to the next chapter, therefore, the book ends quickly. The Women's Murder Club series displays feminine friendship and the men circle around this elite society, but never enter. Lindsay Boxer dominates the story, as baby Julie makes her entrance

on a stormy night with the assistance of the EMTs. The story balances life, love, and death as a high-profile corpse disappears from the morgue and a situation of a football player and his clingy girlfriend emerges. Patterson's four females embellish a career-driven woman who must sometimes sacrifice normality for a job. Patterson reminds me of Sidney Sheldon, but Sheldon presents women with a gentler personality. Show Less

In the 12th of Never, Patterson will you have you reeling from the Women's Murder Club cases and personal lives. Between serial killers, illnesses, trials full of surprises, and relationship drama you will not want to put this book down.

I really enjoy the Women's Murder Club series and was disappointed when the TV show didn't succeed. This is another good one. Fast-paced, filled with drama and twists and turns. If you like this series this is worth the read.

Just doesn't feel much like Patterson's writing in there anymore. I think I won't be picking up 13.

Pretty good story that mirrors life for a lot of women: have a baby, go back to work. Then, the adventures begin. Lots of action. I always wonder who writes Patterson's books, this one has much female input. Fast paced with good characters that we all know and adore. Where's the next book in the

I found this twelfth book in The Women's Murder Club Series, an extraordinary roller coaster ride from beginning to end. The action never stops as Lindsay, Yuki, Claire, and Cindy capture our imagination and hearts again. First, we witness Lindsay's horrific delivery of her sweet baby girl, Julie.

This book captures the terrifying worry that accompanies the working mother when it's time to go back to work and leave your newborn in the hands of others. At least Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer has a capable and loving husband to care for little Julie. Still, I cried more than once as Lindsay and Joe fought to take in the worst news parents can get. Yuki Castellano has her moments in this book. Not only is her character as a determined prosecutor cemented in a tricky murder trial with a surprise ending but her wit and playfulness come out as her relationship with Lieutenant Jackson Brady grows. Cindy and Richy have a falling out—is it permanent? —and Claire gets sidelined in the morgue. With short, explosive chapters, the authors capture the often humorous, often horrendous side of the law, life, love, and the random human experience. Show Less
