Book Reviews of The 5th Horseman (Women's Murder Club, Bk 5)

WOW! I just finished this book. I love the Women's Murder Club! This is by far their best case and by far their best story. Lindsey is on the trail of a killer of young, beautiful young women when deaths start happening in a major hospital. Needless to say she gets involved in these cases too.
I did'nt suspect who the Night Walker was and was blown away by the end of the book. There's much more to tell about this book, just know if you liked the other Women's Murder Club stories, you'll LOVE this one!

A courtroom thriller with the Women's Murder Club!

I thought this was the best one of the series.

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.

Really liked it

Page turner. As always with a James Patterson book, I had to finish it.

A good read!

I really liked this book!!

There were two stories in this book that really had nothing to do with each other. I think both stories were interesting and kept me turning pages. So when both of the endings were lackluster I was totally disappointed. Both stories endings are poorly explained and give the feeling of being rushed.

This book is very entertaining. It had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out. I love the Women's Murder Club. Please enjoy it.

This series is fast paced and a good read.

Another good book in this series! Enjoyed it.

WOW - What a good book! Just remind me not to check into a hospital anytime real soon. This one had me up till 2a.m. trying to figure out who was doing it. Another fantastic James Patterson book.

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.

Again, I'm liking this series...

This book wasn't as solid as the others and I had more questions than answers at the books end.

Fast moving, great story. Loved this book. 5th book in the series. Can't wait to read the next one.

Fast read, gripping characters.

James Patterson is the best, haven't read a bad one yet!

Excellent Patterson.

Very suspenseful. Another Women's Murder Club Book that I just couldn't get enough of!

This is the 5th book in the Women's Murder Club series, and it's just as great as the others. I love James Patterson!

I love anything James Patterson writes. Lindsey and The Women's Murder Club are on the hunt for a killer.

Typical page turner of Patterson's. Enjoyed it.

Once again the Woman's Murder Club provides a good story.

Another good one in the series.

From AudioFile
San Francisco PD Detective Lindsay Boxer is suspicious about unexpected deaths at a local hospital--especially after the mother of one of her friends inexplicably succumbs. The Women's Murder Club is soon involved in finding the person responsible--and at risk to themselves. Carolyn McCormack's performance is superb. Her ability to capture the essence of each of the main characters is impressive; her skill at fleshing out even minor characters is rare. Her spirit, enthusiasm, and emotional involvement help the novel, which has its predictable moments. Overall, McCormack's ability to keep each moment fresh and alive makes this program a real treat for the listener. M.A.M.

Book Description
The members of the Women's Murder Club face an unspeakable menace in the most suspenseful hospital drama since Coma. Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer is shopping with the newest member of the Women's Murder Club, lawyer Yuki Castellano, and Yuki's mother, Keiko, when suddenly Keiko collapses. She's rushed to San Francisco Medical Center where her condition stabilizes. Yet days later, the hospital calls Yuki with devastating news. Keiko was given the wrong medication and it brought on a fatal heart attack. Even more astonishing, this is not the first time SFMC has made this mistake. Just as patients are about to be released with a clean bill of health, their conditions take a mysterious turn for the worse. As the hospital comes under scrutiny, Lindsay and the Women's Murder Club investigate for themselves. Is there a maniac at work, playing God with peoples lives? And has Lindsay somehow made him -- or her -- even worse? The newest addition to the top-selling new mystery series takes the Women's Murder Club into the most terrifying situation they have yet to encounter.

Great series. I sure hope he writes a sixth one, but the story must go on! What is going to happen between Lindsey and Joe.

The 5th book in the series of the Women's Murder Club. Excellent!

Excellent thriller--kept me glued to the pages. Unexpected twists make you hungry for more in this series.

fast read like all patterson books which is good. I was a tad disappointed at the ending though.

Another great tale from James Patterson. The Women's Murder Club is good reading from a different perspective!

I thought this women's mystery club book was better than the previous one, although I'll sure avoid hospitals.

Great reading. Another thriller from Patterson

It was wonderful!!!!

This is a hard cover book. Not one of his best but good.

great read

IMO James Patterson is becomming lazy in his writting and not keeping up with his earlier works. I expected more suspence and drama from him. Could his "co-writer" have something to do with it?.

Great book! I couldn't put it down!

Excellent book! Really hope he does another edition to the series. Totally surprised by the ending, doesn't answer all my questions though.

People bing murdered within a big city hospital and a female cop trying to prove herself. A ending with a surprising twist.

Absolutely wonderful

excellent. best in the series

A very good book. I love the Women's Murder Club books.

Awesome, as you would expect! Patterson seems to get better and better...

This series just gets better and better!

I thought this was yet another good read, BUT this didn't have a lot of the "Women's Murder Club" working together to solve a case like the other JP books. I repeat, stilla good read for sure.
