This guy could barely function throughout the book but now he's a manipulative genius? This is the author expressing his own misunderstanding, fear, distrust and hatred of those who are mentally ill. Oh, and Lindsey and Joe Does Joe have really low self esteem that he keeps throwing himself at this woman who treats his grand romantic gestures as annoyances and breaks up with him in the middle of having sex? I'm really going to try to remember this time not to ever ever go back to this series.
Aug 20, Lynn rated it really liked it. In this sixth installment of the Women's Murder Club series, Lindsay is faced with bringing three different perpetrators to justice in unrelated cases. The first is killing tenants and their dogs in his apartment building when they make too much noise.
The second is kidnapping particularly gifted and attractive children, and the third is a cunning assailant who is also seemingly legally insane. I can't provide any further details without spoiling the suspense for those who haven't read the boo In this sixth installment of the Women's Murder Club series, Lindsay is faced with bringing three different perpetrators to justice in unrelated cases. I can't provide any further details without spoiling the suspense for those who haven't read the book yet.
But is the breakup permanent? Patterson is almost incapable of producing an uninteresting read I say "almost", because there was one where he allowed his co-author a little too much license. Loved this book, and love the series! Anytime I get in a reading funk, I know I can pick up a Patterson book and quickly become immersed in the story. While his writing isn't the greatest, it is entertaining and keeps me reading late into the night It took me a while to warm up to the main characters in the Women's Murder Club series, but I can tell you that I have finally become invested in their lives and individual stories.
This particular book did a good job dividing its time among the four women. There were two mysteries as Anytime I get in a reading funk, I know I can pick up a Patterson book and quickly become immersed in the story. There were two mysteries as part of the main plot; one the killer was revealed immediately, the other one not until the end.
I liked this mix. As usual the chapters were all very short and always seemed to end on some sort of crisis. Not the most intellectual or stimulating read, but definitely worth reading. Most notably for this one is that Lindsay is back to being a Sergeant, relegating her Lieutenant post to Warren Jacobi, her old partner.
Lindsay asked to be back in the field, so she should A bit of a mish-mash of crimes occur that Lindsay Boxer and her SFPD detectives have to solve. Lindsay asked to be back in the field, so she should be happy, but she's doubting her decision, and then when she starts to question her long-distance relationship with Joe, she decides to break up with him, hating saying goodbye every time after his short visits. On top of that, Claire Washburn, the ME, was one of the ferry victims — luckily not fatal. I still enjoy these books because they are such easy and fast-paced reads, but I have to admit sometimes I doubt the detectives abilities to solve a case.

Aug 25, Anastasia rated it it was amazing. Medical examiner Claire is shot at a ferry dock shooting, there are unexplained deaths at reporter Cindy's apartment and a young girl is abducted. Fast paced with plenty of action and adventures. Lindsey is demoted on her request and her love life is on and off. I love the friendships and support that the Women's Murder Club provides. An exciting book that keeps you reading to the end and makes you want more. A madman loose on a ferry, with a gun, kills 4 people and injures one of the ladies of the Women's Murder Club.

Another madman is on the loose. These women can not catch a break. Lindsay Boxer is still dating Joe, but has decided to call it quits. Feb 25, Marcia rated it liked it Shelves: This book was just so so for me. It had me asking myself if I really wanted to spend anymore of my reading time with these ladies.
Then I got to the ending and the answer was "hell yes! Aug 02, Danielle rated it it was ok. First of all I have to admit that I honestly only read this book because I didn't prepare for my library's renovation and I didn't have anything around that was new. The entire time I was reading this book, I felt like I was waiting for it to end. Now I just wish I had re-read one of the books I own. I though it would be interesting because I'm normally a huge fan of James Patterson's books, but this one seemed to drag on forever.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I read this one First of all I have to admit that I honestly only read this book because I didn't prepare for my library's renovation and I didn't have anything around that was new. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I read this one without reading the prequels. The plot sounded like something that I would like but when reading the book I felt that there were too many plot lines. While some authors can write with several story lines and keep the book clear, this wasn't the case. It seemed to jump from one case to another and then back.
At one point I had to go back and re-read a chapter because I missed out on some details without realizing it although this may speak more on how well I can pay attention than on the book itself. What I disliked most about this book was the characters. They all seemed so fragile, and not in the way that all humans are fragile in a sense, but more that they were broken down by the most trivial things. I sighed a lot at some of their over reactions.
Overall, the book was alright, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's never done anything to me. If you have a choice between this book or an old favorite, go with the favorite. Two stars for the effort. Feb 08, Vicki rated it really liked it. Another good book in this series. I love Patterson's mysteries so much. Feb 28, Sharon Mariampillai rated it really liked it Shelves: This was an interesting read.
I really love Lindsay Boxer. She has become one of my favourite heroines. We see the reactions of the other ladies as they try to give their member some love and support. I thought this book had the best storyline so far. There was crime, mystery and some badass moments. The ending was really great. Overall, a great read. May 21, Nicole rated it really liked it. This one was good but I found parts to be confusing, with 3 different cases going on at the same time it seemed to jump around more than the previous ones in this series. It was still great.
Women's Murder Club: The 6th Target
I don't know what Lindsay is thinking not telling Joe yes. I feel like this book should've been one case more detailed instead of 3 cases with less detail. May 21, Samantha rated it it was amazing. The Women's Murder Club series was something I started for fun and school purposes, of course. I did not know what I was getting myself into. I had no idea that I would become hooked on his novels.
I have read from the very beginning up to mid-book of the twelfth novel in the series. His style of writing has captivated me, and I do not mind. His books are a pleasure to read. They keep you on the edge of your seats, wanting more. You become frustrated more than once because you know things the ch The Women's Murder Club series was something I started for fun and school purposes, of course.
You become frustrated more than once because you know things the characters do not. Dramatic irony is common in this series and can be quite infuriating. Nonetheless, it is a part of the excitement that comes along with the novel. Each book in the series is a different roller coaster ride, different crime scenes, different evidence, different tragedies, different love stories, different obstacles, yet the same anxiety and anticipation.
James Patterson is one of few authors that has captured my interest long enough to pull through the entire series without a let down. I absolutely loved the book. I loved how it kept me guessing. Like the rest of the series, you become a detective yourself.
You become engaged in the story as if you were a character. I am positive that once you start reading, you will not want to put the book down. I recommend this book to teenagers and adults. Those who love thrillers will fall in love with this series and book, along with Patterson's style of writing. There is a part in the book where Cindy's life becomes endangered, and you're left wondering if she will become a murder victim or live to be a part of the next book.
However, I do not want to give spoilers so get yourself a copy and start reading! It will be worth your while! I'm very, very afraid—"bestseller" and "well-written" are definitely not synonymous. I made it to Chapter 17, and I am sorely disappointed. I've set the book down, so no spoilers here.

I was expecting something similar in this novel, but I found that the writing was so jagged that it distracted from the storyline. It's fast-paced, but it isn't smooth.
Sentences are truncated a particul I'm afraid. Sentences are truncated a particular style designed to add urgency and "realism" to the narrator's voice , but the passive voice is also employed.

Women's Murder Club: The 6th Target
Ike Quintana, an addict, voluntary points the police to Alfred Brinkley, a madman who hears voices in his head; while Boxer is wondering how to contact him, he spontaneously turns himself to Lindsay herself, going to her house! She arrests him and puts him on trial. Brinkley is defended by Mickey Sherman, an excellent lawyer who has to fight the People, represented by Yuki Castellano, together with Lindsay and Claire one of the member of the Women's Murder Club.
Sherman convinces the jury Brinkley's legally insane and so he's judged not guilty and simply interned into a criminal asylum. Some days after the verdict, though, Brinkley kills his warden and escapes. As the police are still searching for any clue to find the missing little girl, another child, a boy is taken from his home. Now that it looks like anyone's child might be the next to be snatched.
The whole city is on alert. Meanwhile, one of the other members of the Women's Murder Club, Cindy Thomas, crime reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, has moved to a new apartment. She loves it, but all of a sudden the bodies of some tenants are being found one by one, murdered with violence but with no clue as to who the killer might be, or why it happened. Without any clues there either, Lindsey is afraid that Cindy might be in danger.
Lately Patterson's writing seem to have been dashed off with little thought to making it satisfying to his fans.
