I knew I was heading into a busy weekend so I needed something fast paced that was easy to pick up if I just had a few minutes here and there. It was the perfect time for another James Patterson book. Total brain candy (“Mental Popcorn” is the new and very appropriate phrase I learned in the Books on A Nightstand group on Goodreads).
Anyway, this is the 3rd book in the Women’s Murder Club series. Set in San Francisco the series revolves around Detective Lindsay Boxer and a few of her friends (a DA, a medical examiner, and a reporter). This time the case is the hung for a serial bomber.
It was fast paced, quick and easy reading and just the thing I needed this weekend.
No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

Suzi, I listened to this book on CD and loved it!!
Sherri: I liked this one. I just wich the blurbs on the back and inside covers hadn't given away a major plot point :-(
LOVE the "mental popcorn" description. I'll have to remember that. Do you find James Patterson over the top? I remember reading something so gratuitious years ago (can't even remember the name of the book now, though I think it was an early Alex whatever his name is) that it turned me off him forevermore.
That said, I see you're listening to an old Elizabeth Peters. She has a new one coming out this month! I'm pretty excited, esp. as it's a vicky bliss book.
Liz: isn't "mental popcorn" a great term?? Of course James Patterson is over the top - that's why his books are mental popcorn for me and they're great when I need something quick and fast paced.
