The Women's Murder Club Loses A Member But Not The Suspense
When I first heard that a member of the
Women
's
Murder
Club
was going to die, I knew it wouldn't be Lindsay. But I always knew who it would be from the beginning of the book. And no I am not going to tell you. The story centers around a terrorist-like cell that is killing upstanding citizens, calling themselves August Spies. With a few red herrings here and there, the Women's Murder Club has their work cut out. Then Cindy starts recieving emails from one of the cell detailing when and where they will strike next. Then in a twist one of the Club is killed leading the investigation in a whole new direction. The end is sweet with love on the horizon for Lindsay. All and all it is basic James Patterson fare.

Wow-This is more than just a Great Thriller
In 3rd
degree James
patterson not only produces great thrills and fantastic characters he also provides a very profound message that is surprisngly scary. This book is fiction but something like this could very well happen one day considering the story focuses alot around protestors. The August Spies bomb this house in the first two chapters and as Lindasy and the
Women
s
Murder
Club delve
deeper they realize a surprising motive which leads to sadly, one of the Women from the club to be murdered. Like with Pattersons last two murder club series there are those classic little twists and an even better ending that makes you feel satisifed. But unlike the last two this one delt more with politics and was very confusing at times. There was also more characters than usual and it was very confusing because alot of the characters had aliases which made it very confusing because you couldn't figure out which character from the August Spies was which. The way this book ends may for some people like me, send a chill down your back even though there is a typical happy ending but the message is very surprisng. Once again Patterson proves why he is one of the best if not the best at writng thrillers.

Great book
Once again James Patterson wrote a great book. I love this series with the
Women
's
Murder
Club
. The character are great. I read this one in one day.
Whoosh!
This book reads like it was written at top speed by Patterson and Gross ON speed (just kidding, guys, don't sue me)and that's the way I read it, too...I don't think I drew a breath until the last page.
I'm not going to try to pretend this is great literature and brilliantly written. But it sure moves! And it has some surprises, ugly and otherwise.
The plot involves some leftover Berkeley radicals, and having grown up in that era, it was jolting for me to read about some initially peaceful hippie types who morphed into radical terrorists for the sake of the cause--whatever that cause might be. In this book, a similar leftover from the Sixties has a cause all his own--and a very modern, 21st-century way of expressing it. Think Twin Towers toned down to San Francisco.
It is vital that Lindsay Boxer and a handsome, sexy member of Homeland Security, along with just about everybody else in the larger law enforcement community, catch "August Spies," a dead-serious domestic terrorist cell that has already committed terrifying high-profile
murders--using enough
deadly poison to take out all of San Francisco, and bombs capable of the same thing.
Linsday enlists her pals in the
Women
's Murder
Club
--and one of them doesn't make it to the end of the book. I haven't even processed that yet, it went so fast. Along the way, Lindsay and the Homeland Security guy, Joe, start a serious romance. Have I left anything out? Oh yes, the kitchen sink...
This is nothing less than pure fun. It's not a book to analyze, just to enjoy.
