Book Description:
SOMEBODY DIES.
A young mother is recuperating in a San Francisco hospital when she is suddenly gasping for breath. The call button fails to bring help in time. The hospital's doctors, some of the best in the nation, are completely mystified by her death. How did this happen?
APOCALYPSE NEARS.
This is not the first such case at the hospital. Just as patients are about to be released with a clean bill of health, their conditions take a devastating turn for the worse.
Accompanied by the newest member of the Women's Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer probes deeper into the incidents. Could these cases just be appalling coincidences? Or is a maniac playing God with people's lives? When someone close to the Women's Murder Club begins to exhibit the same frightening symptoms, Lindsay fears no one is safe.
THE 5TH HORSEMAN RIDES.
It is a wild race against time as Lindsay's investigation reveals a hospital administration determined to shield its reputation at all costs. And while the hospital wages an explosive court battle that grips the entire nation, Lindsay and the Women's Murder Club hunt for a merciless killer among its esteemed medical staff.

Since so many others have outlined the general plot of this story (huge lawsuit against a hospital; suspicious deaths that may or may not have been committed by a doctor) I'll simply leave a brief comment. Although the story isn't all that complicated, it was still a quick, enjoyable read--and the ending was one I didn't see coming. Please be aware, though, that THE 5TH HORSEMAN is NOT an Alex Cross novel, which seemed to be one reviewer's complaint. This is the story of Lindsay Boxer, SFPD Lieutenant and her fellow Women's Murder Club friends. I found the story to be heartfelt and emotional, full of action-adventure, and, as I said, a very quick, satisfying read.

The Women's Murder Club is back with a story of deaths in hospitals and a doctor who is a little too melodramatic for his own good. Excellent as always!

A great book by Patterson, as usual. Medical thriller that keeps you turning pages. Highly recommended.

The fifth in the Women's Murder Club Series. It did not disappoint. The fastest I have gotten through a book in quite a while.

Another awesome Womens Murder Club Mystery. The short chapters make the books awesome, and so easy to read. They books are impossible to put down the way it is. James Patterson has created a series for women about some amazing women.

Terrific series about four friends who not only help each other through trials but also manage to help find a murderer using each of their varied skills.

I read all of the Women's Murder Club, this was one of the better ones.
James Patterson wrote a page turner! I literally could not put it down and spent whole nights reading the book. I loved it!
I am a big fan of the Women's Murder Club mysteries. So far, the July 4th was my favorite because we got to see Lindsay personal life a little. This one had almost zero about personal lives and there were two different cases going on at the same time. It won't stop me from reading number six, but of all of them, it was my least favorite.
