My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Death on the Trans-Siberian Express by C J Farrington is set in Russia, with Olga Pushkn, Railway Engineer (Third Class), who wants more, in this case, to study literature at Tomsk State University, and become a best selling author.  But life is a little more boring than that, in a snow, boring village in Russia.

It becomes more exciting when Olga gets knocked over by an American tourist being pushed off a train, and so she becomes involved in the investigation, with the usual problems that a civilian helping the police has.

I enjoyed the story being set somewhere new, with a disappointed heroine trying to make her way in the world.  This felt quite like a cosy crime, and as this is labelled as book 1 in places, there are obviously plans for more in the series.

Death on the Trans-Siberian Express was published on 25th November 2021, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

20th Victim by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Women’s Murder Club 20) has Claire having to take time off work, Yuki prosecuting someone she doesn’t believe is guilty, Lindsay investigating multiple homicides, that happen at the same time in different counties, and Cindy being contacted by a killer. 

This is a fast paced thriller, with characters that I’ve grown to love over the last 19 books!  I’m still enjoying the series, and looking forward to what is going to be thrown at us next!

20th Victim was published on 5th March 2020 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

18th Abduction by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Women’s Murder Club 18) is set in the present day and five years ago.  Five years ago, three female school teachers go missing, and the whole of the SFPD is thrown at finding them.  Joe, who is still working for the FBI at this point, finds Anna, who tells him that a war criminal is walking the streets of San Francisco!

This is quite a different story from usual, with a bit of time jumping, and one where you know some answers at the beginning of the book, but not why they’re the answers!

I enjoyed the change of pace, and was interested in Lyndsey’s telling of the story, as she was in the present saying what happened then.  As always, a fasted paced thriller that was a good read!

18th Abduction was published on 3rd October 2019 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

17th Suspect by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Women’s Murder Club 17) has Yuki prosecuting a case where a man is accusing his ex girlfriend and boss of rape, and he has video proof.  

Lindsay, on the other hand, gets involved in shootings of homeless people, after a homeless woman approaches her, and tells her that the police are doing nothing.

There is a lot going on in this book!  As always, the characters are very busy in their personal lives as well!  This is a light read, by which I mean the story is fast paced, and you won’t need to do much soul searching whilst reading it.

17th Suspect was published on 22nd February 2018, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

16th Seduction by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Women’s Murder Club 16) starts with Joe and Lindsay going for dinner.  After the eruptions of the last book, when it came out that Joe had been working for the CIA secretly, and that the seductress of the last book had been one of his colleagues, Lindsay realised that she didn’t know who she was married to.  At the end of the last book, Joe had moved out, and Lindsay was trying to work out what she wanted.

Joe wants to win Lindsay back, which is why they’ve gone to dinner.  It’s not the relaxing meal he had planned as a local museum is blown up, and so they rush out to help.  Joe ends up hurt, and Lindsay ends up with the bomber in handcuffs.

We see the trial for the bombing, but also there’s been a spate of mysterious heart attacks happening in the city.  Another thing for Lindsay and the other members of the Women’s Murder Club to investigate!

16th Seduction was published on 9th March 2017, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:?????

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman has the Thursday Murder Club back with a bang!  

Elizabeth is contacted by someone that she used to know, who is suspected of stealing £20 million worth of diamonds from a mobster.

This is another book written with warmth, a willingness to mislead the reader with red herrings, and a plan for the reveal.  The characters feel genuine, and their friendships and relationships make sense! I really enjoyed it, and felt like it was a fantastic sequel!

I’ll be looking forward to the third book!

My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

15th Affair by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (Women’s Murder Club 15) starts with murder at the Four Seasons!  There’s secrets discovered, lies and betrayals, and a marriage under strain.  

There’s a lot of action in this book, and it felt like the stories were a little larger than normal, which was an interesting change in the series!

I’ve been really enjoying reading these books as I find them quick to read, and well paced!

15th Affair was published on 2nd May 2016, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
