This is a Mystery/Thriller, and this is the 5th book in the Women's Murder Club series. I have to say this is not my favorite of the Women's Murder Club series, but it was a ok mystery. I enjoyed parts of this book, but I have to say some of it was boring. The characters are short and the book is fast pace.

"The 5th Horseman" written by James Patterson with Maxine Paetro is the 5th in the Women's Murder Club series and is a hospital and courtroom thriller.I'm still enjoying the series, this book contains all the usual James Patterson twists and turns, with fast page turning chapters and well developed characters. His writing style is uncomplicated and very easy to read and follow. I would recommend this book to avid Patterson fans and readers of quick and easy thrillers.

Book Blog | Bookstagram*fart noises with my mouth* UGHHH...Literally, the only reason I continue with this series is that it's so easy to listen to while I'm working. But I'm starting to question this decision.My brain at work is dedicated 50% to my job, 25% to thinking about sexin' up my husband and 20% to eating again. That leaves 5% for audiobooks. And that is literally all the brainpower you require to follow along with these fluffy and melodramatic stories. If I was more easily offended I'd...

Another very good audio book by Maxine Paetro (published under James Patterson). Narrated by Caroline McCormick who did a fantastic job as always. As Lieutenant Lindsey Boxer leads one investigation into a string of mysterious patient deaths, her friends, head ME Clair Washburn, Attorney Yuki Castellano, and top journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle, Cindy Tomas, do their best to hunt down a faceless, merciless killer. At the same time, an explosive court battle ensues between the hospital'...

Lindsay and the girls in Women’s Murder Club are at it again. This time the mysterious deaths are occurring in a hospital. Book 5, like book 4, again includes a bit of courtroom drama, which I must say I like having that added to the story. One of the newer interesting characters, Yuki, is given a lot more time in The 5th Horseman. All in all, just as fun to read as most of the previous books in the series have been so far.

Pretty terrible so far. A friend told me these books get worse and worse as the series goes on. I am probably not even 50 pages in, and have already though at least 10 times, this book is SO obviously written by a man (cause women don't act like that). Like two friends, a detective and a coroner who are women, and they see each other at work - and hug. What??? I have worked with people I consider great friends, but I still don't HUG them when I get to work in the morning...But need something eas...

Who is the 5th horseman? The very name stirs up thoughts of the Apocalypse and the drama in this book almost lives up to that promise. Two very different cases are on the minds of the Women's Murder Club. One involves girls who are lured to escort gigs then strangled, dressed in designer clothing, and posed in luxury vehicles. The other case personally impacts Yuki and the deaths occur inside hospital rooms with the victims being marked with Caduceus buttons on their closed eyes. This book takes...

This one has definitely caused the series to pick back up in speed since book #1!Full review to come! Can’t wait to continue...5 ⭐️

I thought this book was just okay. It was easy to read, quick and the plots seemed to be a bit far fetched. I suppose as a nurse I was really bothered by some of the arguments in the trial. There are more than 2 checks for drug administration, not just room and bed number. A nurse must verify that you are giving the drug to the right person by checking the name band. Then the argument that it takes awhile after discharge for a nurse to know a patient has gone home is preposterous. It is the nurs...

There were two cases in this book. I felt that it would be better if James Patterson and Maxine Paetro had just focused on one.The mysterious deaths of the patients could give the two authors enough materials to write a fast-paced thriller. Four strong, independent women gave each other support when they needed. It was fun to follow Lindsay while she was investigating.This wasn't a masterpiece but it was cozy to spend some time with Lindsay and her friends.

The 5th Horseman by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro is the 5th book in the Women's Murder Club series. Patients are being killed in a major hospital and one of the unexpected and suspicious deaths is Yuki's mother. A serial killer is also killing young girls and posing them in luxury cars. Another exciting page turner with plenty of twists. A great series.

I hadn't read a Patterson in a while when I picked this up and it immediately brought back all of the reasons that I like his books.After a bit of a let-down for me with 4th of July, the Women's Murder Club is back in fine form. Patterson's characters are all likeable and easy to root for. The writing style is what I would call very comfortable and the storyline moves along at the usual Patterson frenetic pace. Once I start, I usually don't want to put one of his books down and The 5th Horseman

This is the first James Patterson novel for me. This was a gripping, hard to put down book. Interesting plot, great characters and crisp dialogue. I like the use of short and punchy chapters. There were 139 chapters of about 1 /2 to 2 pages each. Very effective way to keep the story moving. I had always heard good things about Patterson and after having read this story I can now see what all those accolades are all about. He now has a spot on my favorite authors list.

I had a feeling that doctor was involved in it somehow, but that shocked me about the nurse.

I didn't like this one nearly as much as I have the other Women's Murder Club books. There seemed to be way too much going on, and I never really got a real, complete story. The whole thing with Dr. Garza just felt off. He wasn't a nice guy by any means, but it felt like his crime was in there just so Lindsay could feel justified about her mistrust of him, rather than he just rubbed her the wrong way. She had to be "right" about her hunch, even when she was wrong. It was mentioned over and over

James Patterson is one of my favorite authors, and I wait for his next book to come out in paperback. This is the fifth book in the Woman's Murder Club series. It is just as page turning as the other four and I am waiting to go shopping to pick up the 6th one. Great murder mystery. Most of the characters are professional women; One is a cop, one a lawyer, a newpaper writer and a medical examiner. The same characters are throughout the series. It feels like you are catching up with friends when y...

This installment with it's focus on medical malpractice/negligence should have been home run, but it only limped to first base. There was so much glaring misinformation regarding nursing and hospital procedure I just could not ignore it. I expect at least a tiny but of research from an author. It was missing here. That being said, I did enjoy the courtroom drama, the back and forth between the opposing attorneys. And as in previous story lines, the pages almost turned themselves.I now this is l

What disjointed mess of a book. The 5th installment of the Women's Murder Club follows Lt. Boxer and her crew as they investigate like a billion different things. The main case is about a series of suspicious deaths happening at a big hospital in San Francisco. It just so happens that Yuki's, the lawyer of the club, mother treated there for a stroke and then she ends up dead after showing signs of recovering. Also a doctor at the hospital is on trial for malpractice over a these suspicious death...
