_12th of Never_ by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro
Continuing the Women’s Murder Club series, Patterson and Paetro did another decent, but not fantastic job of creating both suspense and progression of the characters’ lives.
While the suspenseful parts were good, I felt as if most of the storylines were disjointed, which I know I have mentioned before in this series. In some of the books, certain characters are the main focus while the others are brought in marginally. This works much better than trying to hit the events of each characters’ lives at that point. With so many ‘sub-main’ characters, it is basically impossible to fully develop all of them together especially if they are in different jobs and different points in life – marriage, children, single, etc.
So, although I continue to enjoy the series, I read this one very quickly and it wasn’t from a matter of being super-engaged as a page-turner. Rather, it was an easy read and just enjoyable enough to keep me going. I hope that the next ones will be a bit better, though….
