4th of July (Womens Murder Club 4)

Ok it wasn'tthe most indepth book have written and there were a few points where you did think what wasthe point of that but to be honest I like books where things get to the point quickly, as a mother of two I dont always appreciate books that take two pages to discribe a tree (you know what I mean) The story was gripping and I really wanted to see where the end took me and to me thats all that really counts

Judging by the other reviews on this page, I must be one of the few people who think that the Women's Murder Club books have improved since the new partnership with Maxine Paetro. I thought this was definitely the best in the series so far, and I couldn't put it down. Okay, it's a given that they're not the best written books in the world, but if its just a bit of excitement and escapism you're looking for, then this is perfect.

I cant say anything different from my other reviews without repeating myself. James Patterson has done it again and I cant wait to read the next in this series.

Should have read these in order! (3/3 people found this helpful)

Unfortunately, I read 4th of July before 3rd Degree, so when it referred to already having lost one of the main characters, I was a bit in a the dark having to do a process of elimination as I made my way through the book to see who'd been written off.

I'd let my husband read this book before me, (he's not one for reading but decided whilst on holiday that maybe he ought to try and get into it, so he wasn't a total book widower). I gave him 4th July to read hoping that he'd enjoy Patterson's style and...I was right! Now if this can make my normally non-reading husband interested in reading, then it can only get the thumbs up from me. I would hear him mumbling things like, 'well I didn't see that coming' which only made me want to hurry up and read it too.

When I did get my hands on it, I certainly found it equally enjoyable although having read it out of sequence, it kind of spoiled the surprise, (shock?), of who had been bumped off when I came to read 3rd Degree.

Having read some of the previous reviews about this book, I realize that I may be in the minority of those who thoroughly enjoyed this and the whole Women's Murder Club series but hey.....I love them! Well done Mr. Patterson, another great read and you may even managed to convert my husband into a bookworm of the future!

Just for the money..... (9/10 people found this helpful)

I usually enjoy the books of James Patterson but I was unable to stand reading this (in fact I threw it away!). It is truly dreadful, the characters speak in cliches and the dialogue feels as though it were written by a teenager for a school essay.

From what I've read in the papers, James Patterson is knocking books out at a prodigious rate to meet his contract with the publisher before moving to another for a huge sum. I suspect his next few books will be equally poor, I only hope he picks up his game for his new publisher as he's going to lose a lot of fans if he continues at this low standard.

If you're new to James Patterson do yourself a favour and stick to his earlier books. The Womens Crime Club was never his best work anyway.
