Review : 16th Seduction - James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Review: 16th Seduction - Book #16 Women's Murder Club Series - James Patterson and Maxine Paetro - March 2017

Fifteen months ago, Lindsay Boxer thought that she had the perfect life with a husband who loved her and kept no secrets and a gorgeous daughter. That all came crashing down when those who have read Book #15 remember that Lindsay discovered that Joe had been lying to her and was part of the CIA. Now the pair is trying to get their romance and family back on track when they are witnesses to a bombing at the science museum. As they are trained law enforcement, Lindsay scans the crowd for oddities and Joe rushes in to help. Lindsay gets a strange confession from a member of the crowd and Joe ends up being injured in the bombing. With no other witnesses, this murder trial is going to end up in flames like the bomb as the guy who confessed is a sneaky bugger and his love of fire goes past what Lindsay or anyone could ever imagine. The other storyline running through this book was one of a mental health patient or just plain psychopathic giving people jabs to the bum and killing them. The first we saw more of an interaction between Lindsay and Joe as well as Yuki being brought back into the world of prosecutions and in the second storyline was more of Claire and her ME murder solving skills.  I really liked this particular book as it gave us more insight into Lindsay's life as a mother and wife rather than just her tough-woman cop side. The only thing that annoyed me was the ending with the bomber as we never did see the SFPD unravel the aliases which would have been cool, but I do figure that it would have been too much for one book.  Another great book in the Women's Murder Club series and I guess like me, if you are still reading at Book #16 you will definitely be continuing and soldiering on with the rest of the series.
