Grand Central Publishing/Warner Books, 2007
The 5th Horseman
+ 5th Horseman + 5th horsemen review
The 5th Horseman, like the other books in James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series, is an exciting and very well written novel. It keeps your interest constantly and is a hard one, once again, to put down. I recommend this entire series if you like a fast paced exciting read.
