The latest edition to the Women's Murder Club; I always look forward to a new book in this series with Lyndsey and her friends.

Great storylines, with Joe working his internet case too.

Bring on the 25th!

The women’s murder club are celebrating a birthday and an upcoming wedding in a fine dining restaurant in San Francisco.
The celebrations are brought to an abrupt halt when a scream is heard coming from upstairs in the premises.
A woman has been assaulted and the perpetrator is still at the scene .
This book didn’t appeal to me like other titles in the series , there was too much going on .
The writing was excellent as always and moving at a fair pace .
Not my favourite book of the series.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK.

24th hour by James Patterson is a 5 ⭐️ read.
Another amazing book by James Patterson, it was hard to put down I read it in a day.

As you’d expect from the master who is James Patterson, another amazing read. This man just gets better and better. Highly recommended

This it the 24th instalment of the Women’s Murder Club. I’d heard great things about the Women’s Murder Club but hadn’t yet read one so I was excited to read a copy.

The story opens with the four main players in the Women’s Murder Club celebrating with a meal out. A scream is heard from the second floor and Lyndsay goes upstairs to find a lady who has been sexually assaulted, and she points to the perpetrator.

The rest of the book is focused on Yuki’s trial to convict the rapist. Alongside that storyline are two others: a husband-wife murder and a cyber crime where a hospital’s computer system is being held hostage.

I thought the book worked as a standalone you didn’t need to have read the previous books as I got to know the main characters: Lyndsay, Claire, Yuki and Cindy, pretty quickly, however I found the three stories and multiple players hard to keep on top of at times. It was fast-paced the short chapters kept momentum when the story switched from one plotline to another.

I found the book underwhelming compared to what I expected from the popularity of the Women’s Murder Club series. The trial was my favourite plot, and I was looking forward to finding out how the victim with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder) would play out in court. However, I found the ending rushed and dissatisfying. Similarly, the cyber crime plot was solved through no effort of the Women’s Murder Club and felt rushed. The only plotline that felt like it was actually solved was the husband-wife murder of Jamie and Holly Fricke.

Based on this book I wouldn’t rush out to buy another Women’s Murder Club, but other reviews say that they were better at the start so I won’t write them off completely.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Women’s Murder Club are celebrating Cindy’s upcoming wedding at a swanky restaurant when they hear a disturbance. It appears a young woman has been assaulted and they step in to help.
This leads to the ladies taking on the case and trying to get a conviction.
At the same time a ruthless killer is on the loose and their workload doubles.
Can they get a conviction and catch a killer in time to make the big day and will they all make it there safely?
Once again these two authors have produced another brilliant story.
I never tire of this series, the books are always fast paced, intriguing and keep you on edge. It’s a true pleasure to read them and I very much look forward to reading the next one.

This is a 2.5 from me. Thank you to NetGalley and Random house for the eArc of this novel. I was really looking foward to reading it it. James Patterson was one of my favourite authors and at one point in time I'd read and enjoyed every single book he'd published.

However, this book was ill formed and lack lustre with gaping plot holes, under developed characters, unbelievable relationships and interactions between characters, and rushed story lines with ridiculous resolutions that were contrived, unrealistic and not well thought out at all.

I'm really disappointed and it this is the calibre of his books now, I'm glad I've not read them for many years.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

have to say this one wasnt my favourite of this series

rape
murder
internet hijacking

there was just so much going on and it didnt really gel for me at all... so many names and incidents that it felt to me like a mish mash put together
the only bright thing for me was the epilogue, no spoilers from me but it was a good one

SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, and crime writer Cindy Thomas have gathed at one of San Francisco’s finest restaurants to celebrate exciting news: Cindy is getting married when a cry from upstairs has
Lindsey finding an assaulted girl. As Yuki leads the prosecution of this disturbing case, Lindsay chases down a high-society killer.

Another fabulous murder mystery of the Women’s Murder Club. Two concurrent stories pull the attention of the women and keep the readers hooked as the pace moves quickly between the characters to its successful conclusion.

Another great story about The Women's Murder Club .Fast paced ,interesting court room scenes, cyber terrorism threats ,and a husband and wife murder .The characters are great ,lots of twists and turns a very exciting read. Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC.

I've read several of the women's murder club series (and many other of James Patterson's books, especially the Alex Cross series).

This is installment number 24 for this series and yet remarkably Claire, Yuki etc al. aren't pensioners just yet and still back what they're doing best - solving crimes and dishing out justice etc.

This book followed the usual format with multiple different strands progressing in parallel. You have to keep up with a fair few different characters and so if you've read the previous books you're at an advantage.
Unusually for me with this one I actually guessed the murderer in one strand of the book (I don't normally!). I wasn't convinced by the court room based strand and the cyber/ransom strand was a little disappointing too. So overall I was a little underwhelmed but it's a tried and tested format and with the short chapters is an easy read too.

This is classic James Patterson. Short chapters with their own cliff hangers, all designed to help the reader speed through the novel. In this 24th episode of the Women's Murder Club series, we enter the world of cyber terrorism but alongside this, two other crimes are investigated, including an attack on a woman with multiple personalities and the murder of a married couple. Once again Sergeant Lyndsay Boxer and her friends: Cindy, Yuki and Claire are on hand to ensure that justice is done. This plot raises a number of interesting issues which made the read more enjoyable and really engaged my interest. It is always refreshing to read stories where women are the main protagonists and Patterson does this very convincingly. This is vintage Patterson and will be enjoyed by his many fans as well as readers who are new to his style of writing.

Book 24, I cannot believe it!
The women's murder club meet for lunch and become involved in dealing with an assault on the premises of
where they are eating. With this and a suspected serial killing is much for the women to contend with
Another fantastic outing for the murder club, paced and well written as we've come to expect.

I've loved the murder club books from the beginning and it's hard to believe that we are on book 24!
When the ladies are out out celebrating Claire's birthday at a very exclusive restaurant in San Francisco, things couldn't be better until a loud scream interrupts their celebrations.
Lindsay is on high alert and races to where to scream came from and finds a semi naked and barely alive woman.
She calls for backup and knows that the perpetrator is still in the building and finds him quickly.
But Tyler Cates insists that he has been set up by the victim Mary Elena and as Lindsay investigation continues into the assault things aren't what they seem and the story takes on a very strange tail indeed.
Has Lindsay finally come across a case that she and the other members of the murder club can't solve?

Another outing for the Women's Murder Club.
Despite there being several books in this series there is enough novelty here for it to avoid being classed as stereotyped.
The intrepid four members of the Club meet for lunch and suddenly become involved in dealing with an appar4ent sexual attach on a young woman,. Unfortunately the young woman suffers from what used to be called @multiple personality disorder'. which puts a whole new dimension to the case.
Whilst this is going on there is also a suspected serial killing and the suspected killer has fled to another country with the inevitable jurisdictional issues.

As you would expect from a book that James Patterson is involved with it is well written and moves along at a cracking pace, It's a real page turner and the interest just doesn't flag.

The new book in the brilliant Women's Murder Club series finds the girls out celebrating an engagement at San Francisco’s finest restaurant when a blood-curdling scream interrupts the festivities.

They soon discover a young woman who has been the victim of a violent assault. Sergeant Lindsay Boxer makes an arrest. Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano takes the case.

But assigning blame is made impossible due to the victim’s chaotic version of events – and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing memory.

I loved this book. It is split between Yuki doing her thing in the courtroom and Lindsay investigation the shooting of millionaire James Frick. The crime is almost identical to how his wife Holly died 6 months previously. Who wanted this couple dead and why?

As usual i was hooked. I love this series and can't wait to read the next one.

This was the first woman's murder club book I've read and I'll definitely be reading more!
Very gripping and a great storyline!

I love a Murder Club novel.....always a fast paced yet calming read at the end of the day.
I have read all 24 and always look forward to the next installment. James Patterson never fails.

Another great addition to the Womens murder club.
Love following along with the characters and seeing how their lives have changed in between books.
Thought there was going to be more to the DID case, I wonder if this will come up again in another book.
I love the short chapters. Great read.

The four ladies who make up the 'Women's Murder Club' are having a celebratory lunch when a cry is heard from upstairs in the restaurant and an almost naked girl is found, beaten and raped, with a semi-clothed man. But his version of the events differs from the victim's - and hers seems a most unreliable account.

Meanwhile Lindsay's husband is facing some serious cyber-terrorism, threatening the lives of patients in a hospital.

Its a fast moving and exciting story, and while it may lack some depth it does keep the reader entertained. Thank you to NetGalley, Random House UK and Cornerstone for allowing me access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
