4th of July

The Women's Murder Club

De: James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Narrado por: Carolyn McCormick

After losing one of its own, Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club make a courageous return for their fourth and most chilling case ever, one that could easily be their last. A young girl is killed in crossfire after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her career and her sanity.

While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the beautiful town of Half Moon Bay, but the peaceful community there is reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings and a case she worked on years before: an unsolved murder that has haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles for her life on two fronts: before a judge and jury as her trial comes to a climax; and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep her from the truth about the killings, including killing again. It all comes to a head before the big annual 4th of July celebration on the waterfront at Half Moon Bay. Patterson fine-tunes the tension like never before in this heart-racing new novel in the best-selling detective series to debut in years.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A rousing fourth installment of the Women's Murder Club series....Suspense fiction euphoria." (Publishers Weekly)

I'm addicted to this series.

Would you consider the audio edition of 4th of July to be better than the print version?

I prefer to read the book but I've begun listening to audio books at work. I am disappointed to see the books get more expensive as you go along. I'm to book 7 and it's $22..are you kidding me?

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, as with the rest of the series, it's a page turner.

Interesting

I enjoyed he first three books more than I enjoyed #4. It wasn't as exciting as the others. I hope 5 is better.

entertaining

It was a good read. entertaining except the cheesy music that played from time during certain parts of the book

More trial drama than crime drama

I'm luke warm on this series, but I want to like it... I like the main character, but sometimes I wonder if Mr. Patterson has ever met a group of professional women. One scene in this book, they're described as squealing and jumping around because they hadn't seen each other in like a week....10 years of not seeing my best friend, there would be no squealing or jumping. Several little scenes like that throughout the series make me question what he was thinking, and makes the women look silly, unprofessional, emotional and/or immature.

There's a lot of trial drama in this one with bookends for the crime story. I'm not really in to court drama, but if you are, it's a nice twist to the series I guess. I found it unnecessary, and really more uncomfortable than intriguing.

The random background music in the recording is SUPER distracting. Especially during the romantic scenes...makes me feel like I'm listening to a terrible b-movie, or worse, 80s porn.

The narrator is definitely better than the female narrator for books one and two.

Good book/Great Reading

I enjoyed the book and its conclusion. I didn't see that coming. the reading was great I cant wait to hear Ms. McCormick as Lindsay Boxer again!
