4th of July
4th of July | James Patterson, Maxine Paetro
A young girl is killed in the crossfire after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her career and her sanity. While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the tranquility of the beautiful town of Half Moon Bay. But the peaceful community there is reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings and a case she worked on years before - an unsolved murder that has haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles for her life on two fronts: before a judge and jury as her trial comes to a climax and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep her from the truth about the killings. It all comes to a head before the big annual 4th of July celebration on the waterfront at Half Moon Bay. "Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried. There's no stopping his imagination." -New York Times Book Review "Patterson's skill at building suspense is enviable." -Kansas City Star "When it comes to constructing a harrowing plot, author James Patterson can turn a screw all right." -New York Daily News

I‘m still reeling from the 3rd book but had to jump in right away to this one. Luckily I have the 5th book already. This series is the only thing I‘ve been able to actually speed through lately.

Another excellent addition to the women‘s murder club books. I thought the storyline was an interesting one, first the original crime itself and then Lindsay being at her sisters and ending up helping on another crime.

This is exactly what you except from a women's murder club book. These are great solid reads this one made even better by Lindsay being involved in a legal case herself. I love these books and I will be continuing with this series.

Mehso-so

I was completely surprised by #whodunit but it was so surprising as to be almost completely unbelievable. There were no crumbs from earlier in the book to make you think maybe... even going back and thinking about it. Meh.

It‘s hard to want to celebrate our wonderful country this 4th of July with all the horrors at that border that have been happening for YEARS and are now becoming more seen.

I came across this fabulous article by Book Riot and how great it is to see our community join the fight. Links for article and donation below.

#25inFive is going quite well for me so far! I‘ve been #audiobusing, #audiocooking, #audioeating and #audiocleaning since I got off work. ? This is how social I am when my fiancé is out of town, and I‘ve go the house to myself. Aside from playtime breaks with the cats, I‘m not stopping until I have to sleep. ?♥️? Lets crush that challenge! #FreakyFriday @Tiffy_Reads @monalyisha

So I‘ve basically been #audiobooking since I got off work. After finishing Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows, I moved on to another #FreakyFriday pick from @Tiffy_Reads ❤️ I love this series. 🧡I‘m almost halfway through this book already.

I guess this is book 5.

Just used my last five #Hoopla downloads on my #FreakyFriday Reads. I do like to toogle between the physical book and the audiobooks depending on what I‘m doing, so I did get the audio versions of a few books I already had on hand. ♥️

I was pleasantly surprised to see that #Geekerella was available for request on #NetGalley so I have a digital version to read when I‘m not feeling the audiobook. ♥️🤗♥️

RainyDayReading Eeee!! And Then There Were None!!! That is probably one of my all time favorites. I need to get a new copy, my current one is falling apart because of how often I‘ve read it 😅 7y

In some ways this felt like two books -- Lindsay Boxer's trial and the murders. The threads eventually sort of meet but it could have been better done. Overall though, it was an interesting story, and I didn't figure out the villain too soon.

Really liked this one and one of the first books to stump me really was not expecting the ending and how everyone all ties up!
