That one seemed a lot more interesting.The Instant #1 New York Times and USA Today Bestsellerĭetective Lindsay Boxer investigates the most explosive case of her career. I would recommend it if you like the series and want to stay faithful, but I would probably recommend reading the book that has an excerpt at the end, Murder Games, instead. Definitely not the worst book ever, but also not the best. This book strayed from that formula, and I didn’t particularly enjoy that. In the past it seemed like they were about one crime and the whole group having to pull together to solve it. However, they seem to only be about Lindsay and Joe’s relationship now, and this book was mostly focused on terrorism, which doesn’t really seem like a job a homicide detective would get put in charge of. I’ve read every book in this series except one, and I can definitely say the first ten or so were pretty great. Patterson books are easy to read fast and also have short chapters, so it’s easy to set it down. I have two little kids, so trying to read a long, drawn-out book can be quite difficult. The main thing I love about James Patterson books is they are quick reads. Thankfully she has her friends in the Women’s Murder Club to help her with both tasks. As a homicide detective, Lindsay has to work incredibly hard to put a mastermind behind bars for the deaths of twenty-nine people, all while trying to help her husband heal.

As they are having their romantic dinner on the pier, a nearby science museum explodes and they both rush to help. Recently separated from her husband, Joe, following the events of the last book, they decide to go on a date to try to rekindle the romance. Lindsay Boxer is back again in the 16th Seduction, the next installment in the Women’s Murder Club series.
