It’s a nice, easy holiday thriller, but at the same time, i feel like I’ve read this before and it’s a tad repetitive, forgettable and (dare I say it?) tired.

Not up the Patterson’s usual standard (but the last few instalments in this series has been very hit and miss with fans, and I can’t help feeling that the Women’s Murder Club should have ended at either 10th Anniversary or 12th of Never)And I say that even though I have a soft spot with this series (in fact, 3rd Degree was my first ever James Patterson, hence my soft spot) seems to be a theme with Patterson that he doesn’t know when/how to end a series… 

Maybe I’ve outgrown James Patterson thrillers and need to take a break. Maybe it because I keep picking up weaker instalments and need to pay attention to Patterson fans on their reactions. 

This is a nice, easy read, perfect for reading by the pool or on an airplane, but it lacks substance.
