Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

Albeit the stories in the book are good and they'll keep you reading and maybe you'll've a good time, the way Lindsay found the killers is almost preposterous.
P.S. In the very last page says in Spanish:
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores / porque cantando se alegran / cielito lindo."
The real translation is:
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, Sing, don't cry/ because by singing will cheer / my darling

I wasn't excited to pick this one up, but I am glad I did. It keep my attention and actually I like listening to Patterson's books....They flow, are fast paced and easy to follow.....this one didn't disappoint.

I find James Patterson a guilty pleasure, but the entertainment value of his books have been slipping dramatically over the past several years. THE 6TH TARGET is the sixth book in his Womens' Murder Club series, and it's easily the worst.
This book isn't really a novel as much as it's a collection of three underdeveloped crime subplots (plus a severely underdeveloped romantic subplot). None of these storylines is particularly interesting, since Patterson devotes so little space to fleshing them out. Just when one subplot gets going, Patterson abruptly shifts gears and heads to the subsequent one. The result is jarring, and deprives the book of any momentum. The characterization in this book is also quite negligible, which is almost a given in any Patterson book these days.
The very first four novels in this series were light fun, but the last two were pretty much a waste of time. 6TH TARGET may be the last in this series that I will spend time with; there are much better books out there.

as usual James Patterson has given us a spell binding adventure in law and order with the Womens Club. I am looking forward to the TV series.
I miss Alex Cross and would love to read more of his adventures.

This book gets 1 star because I don't know how to review witout giving at least one. What happened to Patterson? He was never a deep writer, never will, I hope, rank as a writer of American classiscs, but this is far below his usual medocrity. Maybe it's the second author; maybe she is really the ghost writer of this novel.
Besides the plot being almost non-existent, the characters are mere cardboard cutouts unable to stand alone. There are apparently a number of books in the "Women's Murder Club" series. Possibly if one has read all of these the characters are more real. Such reading probably dulls the mind so that this book has no effect.
The "novel" has 136 chapters. Perfect for the attention deficit reader. The crimes covered by the heroine, a woman with two dimensions perfect for Hollywood or the tube, are neither connected to the "plot" nor the movement of the text.
Do I regret buying this used book for fifty cents to assuage my boredom while sitting in a hospital waiting room? No. What I regret is reading the whole thing (without the benefit of an Alka-seltzer). My only defense is I'm stubborn. If you can get this for less than a dollar and really need something to numb your mind go ahead and get this.
