Fifteen months ago, Detective Lindsay Boxer's life was perfect. She had a beautiful child and a doting husband, Joe, who helped her catch a criminal who'd brazenly detonated a bomb in downtown San Francisco, killing twelve people. But Joe wasn't everything that Lindsay thought he was, and she's still reeling from the betrayal as a wave of mysterious, and possibly unnatural, heart attacks claim seemingly unrelated victims across San Francisco. As if that weren't enough, the bomber that she and Joe captured is about to go on trial, and his defense raises damning questions about Lindsay and Joe's investigation. Not knowing whom to trust, and struggling to accept the truth about the man she thought she knew, Lindsay must connect the dots of a deadly conspiracy before a brilliant criminal puts her on trial.

Add a CommentVery entertaining and a fast read. Would like to have spent more time on the ending as someone said it appeared rushed but otherwise enjoyable read.
I love the Women's Murder Club and have read all the books in the series. I would say that this was not one of the better ones but certainly an OK read and one that you can get through fairly quickly. I found the ending to be rather abrupt with some questions that were not answered.
A fast read typical of James Patterson. I enjoy the ladies and enjoy the interaction between characters. Not his best but ok
Interesting plot line but as others suggested, ending was a not satisfying. Read it in 1-2 days.
dissapointing! Felt like the end of it was rushed and whatever happened with Sophie Fields? yes she died but what was the point to having her in the story?? I feel like there were still things that were left unsolved in the book.
Not up to Patterson's usual excellence. Found it slow and boring-two star rating.
Disappointing. Feel like maybe he is allowing someone else to write because this was the LEAST of my favorite of this series. I honestly skimmed at least half of it. If this was the first in the series...I wouldn't be back.
I enjoy this series. It's a fast read and entertaining.
Love James Patterson's books and the Women's Murder Club series in particular. Great story line and overall I found it very entertaining. There is more set-up than usual in the 16th Seduction, but I didn't find that distracting. I have noticed recently some unhappiness in various book reviews - must be the summer of discontent. Patterson and Paetro delivered for me in this one. It's an entertaining and fast read. Enjoy it!
Average rating of 2.3 stars yet library rating shows 4 stars!!! Many must have rated 5 stars without comments which is highly illogical. Are they from independent or paid Patterson's fans? Hope the librarians will look into this discrepancy. Without a good explanation, the biblio rating marginalized legit members' reviews.

Here is the math for that to happen.
Number of commenters who posted ratings = 5; assume X is number of raters who did not comment; and the average rating of 4:
Therefore total number of patrons who commented and those who only rated = (5+X)
and the sum of stars by both commenters and X (raters without comment) = (5+X)4
----
Sum of stars by commenters = 11.5; assume those X raters gave the maximum 5 stars:
Therefore sum of stars by commenters and X (raters without comment) = 11.5 + 5X
---
To solve for X
11.5 + 5X = (5+X)4
X = 8.5
Math says 8.5 people who did not care to leave a comment rated this book the maximum of 5 stars while those who cared to leave a comment and rated gave it a poor 2.3 stars ?????
