4th of July by James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

4th of July (Women's Murder Club, #4)

by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

A young man is found dead in a seedy hotel room; electrocuted in his bath with a toaster. This is the second electrocution murder Lindsay Boxer has come across and the message left in graffiti on the wall at the scene of the crime is the same: NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. What does it refer to? The one clue Lindsay and her partner Jacobi have is that a black Mercedes was spotted at the scene of both murders. But when they follow a car they think is connected, they get more than they bargained for. Full of the high suspense and fast-moving plotlines for which James Patterson is best known, this promises to be the most exciting Women's Murder Club case yet.

It’s been quite a while (over a year) since I read a James Patterson book, and this one reminded me why I like him! This is the 4th book in the Women’s Murder Club series. It’s quite fast-paced, typical of Patterson’s books, since he writes the shortest 300+ page books you’ve ever seen (white space, anyone?) Anyway, the trial is interesting, the murder mystery is interesting, and I didn’t even have it all figured out before the end. I figured out 2 of the people involved, but had no idea about the third, or about the reasons.

Thumbs up!
