Good but very short

When I selected the audiobook I didn’t know it would only be a few hours, good story but very short

Overly dramatic performance

If you’ve listened to books by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro before, how does this one compare?

The same -- formulaic, but addicting. Even though I know exactly how it will begin to unfold, I'm addicted to the Women's Murder Club so I keep reading them.

What aspect of January LaVoy’s performance would you have changed?

She dramatizes the narrative to such an extent that it becomes distracting. It would be comical if it weren't so annoying.

Very Good. Lasted a little longer than the Chase, but very good and worth it! Women's Murder Club = Great!

Another great Women's Murder Club book

Women's Murder Club is one of my favorite James Patterson/Maxine Paetro series and this was a fitting episode in that series.
The story was good and the narration was awesome. I highly recommend
