Product Description
A terrible fire in a wealthy suburban home leaves a married couple dead and Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner Rich Conklin searching for clues. And after California's golden boy, Michael Campion has been missing for a month, there finally seems to be a lead in his case--a very devastating lead.
As fire after fire consume couples in wealthy, comfortable homes, Lindsay and the Murder Club must race to find the arsonists responsible and get to the bottom of Michael Campion's disappearance. But suddenly the fires are raging too close to home.
Frightened for her life and torn between two men, Lindsay must find a way to solve the most daunting dilemmas she's ever faced--at work and at home. |

Kidnapping, Arson and Murder, Fast-Paced & Very Good 
The Woman's Murder Club is made up of Detective Lindsay Boxer, Assistant D.A. Yuki Castellano, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn and Reporter Cindy Thomas, so when these girls sink their teeth into a crime in San Francisco, Criminal lookout.
In this outing popular and well liked Michael Campion, son of the past Governor of California has been kidnapped. We learn fairly soon that hooker Junie Moon was present when Michael was killed, but did she do it?
Meanwhile some guys named Pidge and Hawk are burning down the houses of the wealthy, while the wealthy are still in them, and that'll get the attention of the SFPD real quick, crispy rich people.
So there you have the crimes the gals are going to dig into when you dig into this fast paced book (and the pace is made even faster by Mr. Patterson's short chapters: 376 pagers cut up into a whopping 125 chapters. You can do the math, they're short.) I read the book in one sitting, just couldn't put it down.

7th Heaven
I like that the chapters are short and well written. There is always the twists and turns that keep you interested in the book.

Loved 5th, missed 6th, loved 7th
I have become a huge Patterson after reading the 5th Horseman, lapsed on the 6th Target and found my way back for 7th Heaven. I just love the play on numbers. This is the 7th novel in his Women's Murder Club series and the book starts off in as far a place from heaven as possible with victims found bound and gagged and burned. Yet the mystery doesn't begin there as Patterson reveals to us who the culprits are. The mystery begins in a two-plot fold. The SFPD are tracking down the culprits of a recent arson and the assistant DA and member of the Woman's Murder Club with a young harlot suspected in the disappearance of Mike Campion. But the DA is having relationship problems and is on the brink of self-destruction while the SFPD aren't having much luck either. Being new to Patterson it's difficult for me to comment on his past works, but I doubt the King of the Mystery Thriller would put his name on anything but the best. I'd also like to recommend the highly anticipated novel by Georgiou Tino: The Fates Fates (Amazon exclusive)

For Lonely Hearts 
I am a big Patterson fan, and liked the first couple of books in this series. But more and more it seems like a cheap Romance novel and not a mystery. I find the plots more contrived and not as interesting. This will be the last in this series that I purchase, I find the things I don't like being emphasized more and more, at the cost of having a good mystery.

I Like it! Good read for series junkies!
I love this series - I give it 5 stars!
This book is a great addition, I like that Lindsay's character has been developing and moves along in 7th Heaven. When I first read the jacket cover I hoped he was not going to turn the series into a Stephanie Plum read-a-like! The characters are strong and I would hate to see the books get hung up on Lindsay getting married or not - she can be married and the series will only get stronger.
Can't wait to see what "the girls" are up to next JP - bring on 8!
