7th Heaven (Womens Murder Club 7)

I am a big fan of James Pattersons thriller books (not his fantasy books!) but my enthusiasm is beginning to wane.

I have found the last 4 (I think since Maxine Paetro started as co-author) Women's Murder Club books very lacking in substance, predictable and badly written.

I have this theory that he is allowing the other author to use his name but he is not contributing any longer.

I'm dreading the day when a second authors name appears on the Alex Cross books!

I've read many James Patterson novel's. and as usual I'm suitably impressed. I disagree with some of the other reviews, as 7th Heaven (Womens Murder Club 7) is a well written and enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to the next one. While writing this review, I would like to recommend 'The Constantine Legacy' by Andrew Towning.

As good as ever (8/10 people found this helpful)

Having read most of James Pattersons books and enjoyed them all including the previous six in this series, I was not disappointed. This book moves along at a cracking pace and the characters are well scripted and thought out. The way their lives intertwine is interesting and only serves to make the plot more believable. I felt that Lindsay Boxer took a bit of a back seat in this one, but this did not detract from the story which was brilliant. The basic presmise is a series of Arson attacks where rich couples are being burned to death in their own homes. I can't say too much more without giving away the plot, but needless to say it is a fast and furious ride to get to the whodunnit. If you have read the other books then read this one and enjoy. If you haven't read the others, then I suggest you do this in order starting with 1st to Die.

a few unanswered questions - very frustrating (1/3 people found this helpful)

I'm also a big JP fan and have read most of his books and will continue to do (i think!), however I don't think he tied up the loose ends on this one - the reasons for Pidge & Hawk to carry out the attacks (apart from the comic book) and Jason Twilly's part in the whole Campion saga and his reasons for stalking Yuki and why Pidge & Hawk targeted the Campions near the end weren't really closed off. Also i didn't feel that the WMC collaberated as a group all too well on this one - although they saw each other/Lindsay individually.

I like the fact that JP always acknowledges his co-writers, where many other authors don't but i think the WMC series isn't as compelling as Alex Cross.

I am a big fan of James Patterson and the Women's Murder Club but I do feel that this has now run its course just like Kay Scarpetta with Patricia Cornwell. This story follows a series of fires at the homes of rich people and as always, there are some personal tragedies along the way. There were also a couple of side storylines involving Yuki being stalked and the disappearance of a famous child. The main arsonist storyline, I felt, was very rushed toward the end. I felt that they had discovered who the killer was and found him in a couple of chapters (which we know are not long). I did enjoy the read but only because James Patterson are generally quick, easy and require little effort to read and understand. I do feel that these characters have run their course.
