 Very disappointed June 22, 2008
I've been a fan of The Women's Murder Club series for a long time and did enjoy each book, however, James Patterson's new one, 7th Heaven, is a big disappointment. There was no character substance. There was basically 2 stories going on in this book; one was about a missing rich kid and the other story of 2 kids who started fires and killed people. Both stories had no depth and both were uninteresting. As I was reading this book, I had hoped the stories would develop more and get more interesting, but both were flat. It felt like James Patterson just was in such a rush to get another Women's Murder Club book out, he threw it together with no thought.
It's a good thing I didn't buy this book and got it from the library!
Save your money and don't buy this book
 The Women's Murder Club series is 7th Heaven! June 11, 2008

What an excellent series! I was not a James Patterson reader until after I started watching the Women's Murder Club on ABC. Then I went out and bought all of the books in the series! Each one can stand on it's own but you really need to read them in order for the goings-on of the central characters. Too bad the bozos at ABC cancelled the show before giving it a solid chance. The show may be gone, but the books are still here and so worth reading!! Thank you Mr. Patterson. I'm already looking forward to the 8th one.
Reminded me of a soap opera June 5, 2008

Interesting with twists and turns and complicated storylines, which is why 4 stars. However, the serialized missing person and the serial arsonist plots were too serial and reminded me: years ago I knew a person who wrote for a popular Soap. There were a bunch of people who wrote the treatments for each hour show. I've read treatments, and this reminded me of those. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it's not what I hoped to read. Classic thriller mysteries: pursuit of a psychopath Ghost in the Rainbow or completely cerebral A Taste For Death or scientifically methodical with slower pace One Corpse Too Many: The Second Chronicle of Brother Cadfael
Enjoyed it, light reading. June 4, 2008

This is the 3rd book in the series that I have read. It was enjoyable and light reading. I liked it better than the last one. These are not deep thinking books so they are great to pick up and then put down and be able to remember the plot when you next pick it up.
 Disappointing June 4, 2008

I am sorry to say that I have to agree with those other reviewers that found this newest entry into the "Women's Murder Club" series to be a disappointment.
The whole plot line with the prostitute who confesses to being with the "golden" boy at the time of his death was thin to the point of being transparent. I find it very hard to believe that any D.A. would take a case to court where the only thing you have is an untaped confession with no substantiating evidence. As far as the ending in this case, I suspected something of this sort from the very beginning of the story, no big surprise or tension here at all.
The second plot line was much more interesting but since I was already disgusted by the first plot, I found it hard to get interested in the second.
Overall, if you are new to the series, start with one of the other books and skip this one. Hopefully, the next in the series will get back to good storytelling.
