The Medical Examiner: A Women's Murder Club Story (Women's Murder Club BookShots, 2)

Medical mystery stories always keep me engaged to find out who done it and why. It was a quick read while I was waiting for a medical procedure. It definitely took my mind away for a while.

This is not a seriously sophisticated tale, and it’s not a horrifying thriller. In fact, it is rather silly for the most part, but I enjoyed a James Patterson tale for a change. I found this one to be a fun read with just the right amount of mystery for a short story. It’s fast paced with fairly good character development. This is an easy read and a far better one than most of Mr. Patterson’s bookshots. I thought maybe he and Ms. Paetro were running out of ideas for the Women’s Murder Club, but maybe there is still hope.Members of the Women’s Murder Club are not playing second fiddle to homicide detective, Lindsay Boxer, this go around. They are playing major roles, and I rather like that. Lindsay is on vacation with husband Joe and daughter Julie.The story did have murder and suspense, twists and turns, but it also had a fair amount of “funny” which was just plain delightful for this reader. There is morgue havoc galore and Claire, the Chief Medical Examiner, is having almost more “fun” than she has ever had. She and her staff have one of those first time ever morgue experiences.The antics of members of the Women’s Murder Club provide some amusive recreational reading for a change. Cindy, senior crime reporter does some sleuthing to get her story, and finds herself in a tight spot without a lot of maneuverability. Yuki, the vivacious pint size assistant DA who claims to be a human lie -detector is excited about this unusual case and lends an ear and gives suggestions to help solve the tale/crime. Cindy’s fiancé, Inspector Rich Conklin also plays more than a cameo role.

Easy read. Well written and fast paced. Having the whole murder club together is a nice addition to the series.

A lot smaller of a book than I thought it would be. Decent book.

Great story. This was super interesting and exciting. Joan was quite a strange character. The intricate plot kept guessing as to who done it.

Excellent couldn't put it down

This was an interesting story. The plot was complicated enough that I feel it could have been written into a broader novel. I am curious as to why the part where Cindy is accosted at the mansion by Peter. It really didn't seem to play a part in the plot. However, I do see that it was somewhat important to include her in the story somewhere so that the entire Women's Mystery Club was represented.

The twists and turns in the story left me in suspense right up to the end.

Really enjoyed this and can't wait to read the next.

Fantastic read.
