About the book ~

For every secret
Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous crime: a badly injured teenage girl is left for dead, and her newborn baby is nowhere to be found. Lindsay discovers that not only is there no trace of the criminals--but that the victim may be keeping secrets as well.

For every lie

At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life--a woman who has been accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict, so when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, she is forced to choose. Should she trust her best friend or follow her instinct?

There's a different way to die

Lindsay's every move is watched by her new boss, Lieutenant Jackson Brady, and when the pressure to find the baby begins interfering with her new marriage to Joe, she wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family. With James Patterson's white-hot speed and unquenchable action, 10th Anniversary is the most deliciously chilling Women's Murder Club book ever.

My teaser ~

James Patterson & Maxine Paetro do a great job of combining mystery, intensity, love, friendship, and suspense in this latest edition of the Murder Club series. While most may look at this book as a typical James Patterson mystery, I see beyond that, to what to me is the core of the story. The deep, unrelenting friendship that these four women share.

In honoring the wishes of the publisher, I am only publishing a teaser of my review of 10th Anniversary (Women's Murder Club). The full review will be published on May 2nd - the publication date.

Teaser Review ~ Now You See Her by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge

Now You See Her
Author ~ James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge
Publisher ~ Little, Brown & Company
Publication Date ~ June 27, 2011


The perfect life

A successful lawyer and loving mother, Nina Bloom would do anything to protect the life she's built in New York--including lying to everyone, even her daughter, about her past. But when an innocent man is framed for murder, she knows that she can't let him pay for the real killer's crimes.

The perfect lie

Nina's secret life began 18 years ago. She had looks to die for, a handsome police-officer husband, and a carefree life in Key West. When she learned she was pregnant with their first child, her happiness was almost overwhelming. But Nina's world is shattered when she unearths a terrible secret that causes her to run for her life and change her identity.

The perfect way to die

Now, years later, Nina risks everything she's earned to return to Florida and confront the murderous evil she fled. In a story of wrenching suspense, James Patterson gives us his most head-spinning, action-filled story yet--a Hitchcock-like blend of unquenchable drama and pleasure.

My teaser ~ 

Nina knows that her client is innocent. He is most definitely NOT the Jump Killer. Now she just needs to prove it, and she must return to South Florida, a place filled with unpleasant memories and a secret she’d prefer not be exposed. Everything she has worked so hard for can be taken away from her in an instant. Regardless of the damage it may do to her personal life, her conscience will not allow her to let an innocent man die. 

In honoring the wishes of the publisher, I am only publishing a teaser of my review of Now You See Her.  The full review will be published on June 27th - the publication date.
