I’ve always loved these books and this one did not disappoint. Such strong and wonderful female characters. A thrilling read.

Another great read from the Women’s Murder Club series. Definitely up there with the best!
Brilliant characters, with interesting backstories and three different storylines that kept me racing through until the end.
I love the short chapters that James Patterson is known for and the numerous twists that he includes in all his books.
I’ve been reading JPs books from the very first one, and this latest story certainly does not disappoint.

James Patterson always delivers. Yet another outstanding read! Thoroughly enjoyable.

My thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK for giving me the opportunity to read an advanced copy in return for an honest review.

I really enjoy this series of books., The Woman’s Murder Club. This one centres around Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano. They are sitting in a fabulous restaurant when the hear a scream. The woman says she has been assaulted, but her story changes, but there is a medical reason for this. Yuki with sound advice goes ahead with the prosecution of the man arrested. This is a very big case, but I always felt Yuki was up to it. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I am a fan of James Patterson so was delighted to receive this ARC.

There is no reason, but somehow I have fallen behind with the Women’s Murder Club series and the last book I read was #10.

Although these books can be read as a stand alone, I think it is better to read the series.

I did struggle a bit with names and felt like there was jumping between names and nicknames which confused me at times.

The short chapters are great and meant I sped through the book in no time. There were three separate story lines through most of the book and I felt that two, in more detail, may have been better. I felt that the trial and cyber attack storylines were a little slow and not the fast paced I’m used to from these books.

Many thanks to #NetGalley and #RandomHouseUK for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 ⭐️ rounded to 4

While it was a good follow up book as I enjoyed the last one, I didn't think this one was as enjoyable. This book had 3 main storylines running through it but other than for characters appearing in the storylines, they were very much unconnected with one another and though that a trick missed although I suppose you could say it differed from how books normally conclude.

You know exactly what you’re getting with Patterson and the Woman’s Murder Club and this doesn’t disappoint

Not having read any other books in the Women’s Murder Club series, I found it rather confusing at times. I kept having to check who was married to whom and which of the women had which career. Shame, as the story whips along and would be involving if I’d read the other books.

The women of the murder club are fantastic characters and the concurrent investigation and resolution of 2 cases in this installment are well balanced and well paced.
The case involving the victim with a suspected personality disorder was particularly well handled- this seems to be a storyline that is becoming popular but in this case the emphasis was spot on in terms of the condition and the personalities manifested.
The second case, the murder of a husband and wife 6 months apart but in the same location is equally compelling and read together the 2 cases make for a fast paced page turner!

Thank you NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone, and Century for my copy to read and review.

I was thrilled to receive an e-copy of the latest WMC book.
Lindsay, Cindy, Claire and Yuki have such a strong bond that is full of camaraderie and friendship. They form the Women's Murder Club. The characters are well written and I feel as if I'm part of a family. The book is based on two cases - one is a court case where the victim has dissociative identity disorder and Yuki has to try the case and it was brilliant and the second is a case of the murder of James Fricke III. Six months ago, his wife Holly is found murdered in the same way. Joe, Lindsay's husband is called in help with a cyber case. This book is fast paced and all the cases are concluded with unexpecting endings, which I didn't see coming. I will be recommending this book.

Thank you to @netgalley, @RandomHouseUK and @JamesPatterson for this ARC. Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club are having dinner when a woman screams from the break room. Lindsey finds a half conscious woman and a suspect. Six months later, Yuki is meeting this same man in court while Lindsey is trying to track down the killer to a husband and wife that were killed months apart. Joe is trying to find the culprit to ransomware on a local hospital. Can they figure all their cases out before more damage is done? You can never go wrong with Patterson or Women's Murder Club! #The24thHour #TheWomensMurderClub #JamesPatterson #RandomHouseUK #Feb2024

absolutely page turner. Each one in the series can also be read as a stand alone but after reading each one in turn its like revisiting old friends Albeit friends with a very dangerous life. Perfect to while away a grey day or to take to the beach and enjoy under an umbrella

I have a love/hate relationship with James Patterson. Some of his novels can be excellent, whilst others can be pulp fiction, like this one. It felt clichéd and predictable, with several stories threading through most of the book (I thought that the one with Yuri and Mary was the best written) which made it at times confusing. A bit 'Murder She Wrote' in contemporary city settings with swearing!

A Riveting Tale of Justice and Camaraderie. James Patterson's Women's Murder Club 24th Hour immerses readers in a world of gripping suspense, intricate investigations, and unbreakable bonds. In this 24th instalment, Patterson's narrative prowess shines as he weaves together multiple plotlines, each brimming with unexpected twists and heart-pounding revelations.

What a warm welcome back to my friends, the Women's Murder Club!

I must admit, I've skipped three books of this series to read this ARC. However, I was able to pick-up as if I'd just left off with Lindsay, Yuki, Cindy and Claire.

The WMC series is fantastic as there is usually numerous things going on in each book, with just the right amount of personal character storylines too. It's not often I really connect with characters in thriller novels as the plot is the most important thing, but Patterson and Paetro manage to create such well-rounded, likeable characters, you can't help but befriend them.

Lindsay's case in this book was really interesting, a sordid family affair ending in a double-homicide. I guessed the ending a little about 3/4 of the way through. However it was still a great read. Yuki's case had me so invested too. The subject matter was so current, it was really interesting to see the theme explored.

There was not so much Claire or Cindy in this book, however it balanced out well and they were great supporting characters throughout.

Definitely one of the best WMC books of the series. Would definitely recommend even as a standalone read!

I didn't realise this was a series but I loved the characters so continued, action packed, a great fast paced read. Now to download all the others!,

Thanks to Netgalley.co.uk, Random House and Cornerstone, for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review...

Having read and been disappointed by a previous title by this author (Run, Rose, Run - co-written with Dolly Parton), I wanted to give him another go. I'm so glad I did! This book was better by far.

It was well paced with chapters that drew the reader on to read the next, then the next. I was eager to discover what would happen next and read the book in one sitting. A good indication of how much I enjoyed it.

There are three cases being investigated, and each of them has, at their hearts, interesting themes. If you know me, you know I like my reading material to teach me something new - this book taught me several new things. Without giving anything away, I can't really go into details. So I won't be specific, other than to say there is a serious assault, murder, and cyber terrorism.
Each of the women who form the 'Murder Club' are strong, professional females who each have a great back story. I loved how their lives were intwined through their various work, family, and friendship roles.

All in all, it has redeemed this author in my estimations, and I'm looking forward to reading more from this series of crime novels. This is #24 so I have lots to choose from.

Typical James Patterson book. Really easy read with an engaging plot, this is now the 24th Women’s Murder Club book and as much as I love this series and the characters, it is a series that is getting repetitive and doesn’t really surprise you at any point. You definitely get what it says on the tin with this book and is worth the read, although not a groundbreaking book.

Sadly this book was unreadable, due to editing. The pages were full of random words, with large gaps in between. I cant imagine that this is how it was supposed to look?

I've read every single book of the ladies murder club and each one gets better and this is no exception. Thanks James patterson for another great read!
