Like his previous books in the Women's Murder Club, I read this in one sitting, I just can't put it down even while on a moving car. As usual, this book was written in an engaging style that left me on the edge of my seat, palpitating and turning the page after page frantically.

The book focused more of hardcore detective work, there were the usual dead ends until something small but vital comes up. Arresting the culprits in the arson hate crimes were a long shot but were really wrapped up in a bloody way. There were times when I felt Lindsay's frustration whenever things didn't go her way, and although this is a work of fiction, James Patterson knows how to inject truth in everything like it's not always a happy ending for some characters.

Yuki lost her second case because she was fighting a losing battle but that's life and she moved on, but I was really scared when she was almost killed by a psycho - which was a minor story. The suspense never stopped there.

I'm still voting for Joe. Lindsay was really pushing herself to the limit and taking him for granted because of the job. She got her priorities messed up and I'm still hoping they won't break up, she's in a vulnerable state with her partner Richard because she spends more time w/him than Joe and while reading those parts I felt my heart constrict because Lindsay can't make a decision. That was another suspenseful part.

I'm still giving this a 5 even though the ending left me high and dry. It really never occurred to me and I loved that after reading 7 books of this series, it was still unpredictable. ( )

Honestly, I wasn't impressed. It seems like Mr. Patterson picked a bunch of crazy things to throw together with this latest story starring the Womens' Murder Club.

Although the mystery of who killed Michael Campion was interesting, the whole Yuki/Twilly event was just plain stupid.

Overall, another quick read that will only take you a day or so, but it's not as good as the previous books in the series. ( )

I am a snob. I always say that I want to read novels of substance , but here I sit having had taken my CD from the car to my apartment to listen to the final chapters of this book.
A rich kid, son of the former Mayor has disappeared and 3 months later is assumed dead. Police have not been able to find the body or the killer. In the meantime someone is setting fire to the homes of the rich and famous in San Francisco with the wealthy occupants inside. ( )

I've enjoyed this series thus far with fun, strong characters (I also enjoyed the tv series and was sorry to see it go) but I have to say that this book wasn't as good as the previous books from the series. Part of that may be my continued souring on James Patterson as a whole as he continues to do less of his own writing and rather leaves it to his stable of writers. ( )

Finally, the plot makes sense! I’ve complained before about the lack of cohesiveness in the plotting of this series, but 7th Heaven really pulls it together. I loved how the story was woven together, and the way the disparate crimes finally related to each other.

This story has plenty of thrills and chills as one of the Murder Club members deals with a threatening stalker. Whatever else you might say about James Patterson, his novels definitely have a way of gripping you and pulling you into the story. The gory details may be a little much for some readers, though.

My only complaint was that I didn’t like the way the love triangle between Joe, Conklin, and Lindsay was worked out. I don’t know that it could have been resolved in a way that would make me happy, though, so I might not be the best judge. ( )
