This is one of Patterson's 'Women's Murder Club Novels'.
My post on Goodreads-
This is one of Patterson's 'Women's Murder Club Novels', and it's really about two different crimes that are related only because they occur in San Francisco. The first is a series of murders of beautiful young women who are carefully smothered, and then their bodies are posed at an artfully staged crime scene, and the second series of murders concern seemingly random deaths at a large municipal hospital in San Francisco. Both plots are told from the point of view of Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer who works for the homicide division of the San Francisco Police Department. She shares her findings of the cases with several of her friends who make up 'The Murder Club'. All of these women have ties to law enforcement, forensic medicine, or the law.
Both plot-lines are developed in a fast-paced manner and are completely engaging, however James Patterson writing style is borderline 'hack' and he always has the feel of a lower quality sensational novelist. But I can't deny that he is quite able to deliver a true 'potboiler'(albeit with the aid of his 'assistant' writers). A great 'airport read' or something lite to take to the beach.
