MT Review: 12th of Never (Women's Murder Club) [Hardcover]

I've finished "12th of Never" the 12th book in his Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson.

Product Description

It's finally time! Detective Lindsay Boxer is in labor --  while two killers are on the loose.

Lindsay Boxer's beautiful baby is born! But after only a week at home with her new daughter, Lindsay is forced to return to work to face two of the biggest cases of her career.

A rising star football player for the San Francisco 49ers is the prime suspect in a grisly murder. At the same time, Lindsay is confronted with the strangest story she's ever heard: An eccentric English professor has been having vivid nightmares about a violent murder and he's convinced is real. Lindsay doesn't believe him, but then a shooting is called in-and it fits the professor's description to the last detail.

Lindsay doesn't have much time to stop a terrifying future from unfolding. But all the crimes in the world seem like nothing when Lindsay is suddenly faced with the possibility of the most devastating loss of her life.

My Review:

During a dark and stormy night Lindsay gives birth to her baby girl.  Then a week later her boss calls her back to work to help solve a couple of cases.

A rising football star for the San Francisco 49ers is suspected of killing his girlfriend Faye Farmer.  Then her body is stolen from the morgue and Lindsay has to track down the body and also the body of a morgue guard to help her friend Claire.  Then they get a call regarding two bodies burned in a car in Nevada and could they be Faye and the morgue guard.

There is a weird professor who dreams about murders and they happen a few days later.  Is he a killer or is he some nut case?

There is Randy Fish a psycho sexual murderer who is playing games with Lindsay

Also there is Yuki Castello a SF lawayer who is trying to prosecute Keith Herman for the murder of his wife and the disappearance of his daughter.


Joe has also lost his job and is the process of looking for another one while taking care of his and Lindsay's baby who is sick.


This book had lots of twists and turns with some very suspenseful moments that kept you on the edge of your seat.  I thought the Lindsay family crisis was very interesting and I learned about the illness her baby had.
