wyvernfriend's review against another edition

3.0

Another very quick read. This one deals with murders committed in the name of social conscience and involves a G8 summit in it's climax. Riveting and suspenseful I galloped through it. The short chapters were occasionally irritating as it almost seemed that they were trying to make it look like there was more in the book, so it's actually quite a short book but the twists and turns had me gasping for breath. I wouldn't be surprised if this series turns into a film series.
Although it did keep me riveted and I learnt more about the women involved there were times when I wanted more, it left me feeling vaguely unsatisfied.

This was another enjoyable read. I never used to read that many mystery/thriller books, but now that I found out about James Patterson, I am hooked. Although it was short, it kept me interested until the very end. I thought this book was better than the second book. The characters in this book are badass, especially Lindsay Boxer. She is my favourite so far out of the female leads. The story was great. I thought the ending could have been better. I felt like it was rushed, and could have been expanded on. I cannot wait to see what happens to these wonderful female leads and what crimes they will solve next. Overall, a great read.
