Book Review: 6th Target by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

I am enjoying these series of novels and this is the 6th out of ten (so far as at August 2011). I like the characters in the Women's Murder Club and it is interesting to see the changes in their lives. I also like the setting of San Francisco that I have visited once.

This novel concerns a killer on a ferry boat. There is no doubt he is guilty of the killings but is he sane or insane? I liked the way the novel played on this theme and put forward very well the questions that both sides in the resultant court case played their cards.

The other case that was part of this novel was a child abduction. This was a bit weaker I thought but again I enjoyed the way that the facts revealed themselves and the killers were hunted down.

The women's lives are on the move again. Yuki changes sides in this novel, Claire gets a bad case of lead poisioning and a little surprise, Cindy moves apartment to the block from hell and Lindsay gets what she wants at work but then realises she doesn't want it, she also gets Joe too but is also wondering about this relationship too. Lindsay appears to be at a crossroads so I will just have to read on to book seven to see how it pans out.

8/10 for me.
