Product Description:
When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Almost perfect
Albeit the stories in the book are good and they'll keep you reading and maybe you'll've a good time, the way Lindsay found the killers is almost preposterous.

P.S. In the very last page says in Spanish:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores / porque cantando se alegran / cielito lindo."

The real translation is:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, Sing, don't cry/ because by singing will cheer / my darling



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Another good one....
I wasn't excited to pick this one up, but I am glad I did. It keep my attention and actually I like listening to Patterson's books....They flow, are fast paced and easy to follow.....this one didn't disappoint.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The Worst in the Series
I find James Patterson a guilty pleasure, but the entertainment value of his books have been slipping dramatically over the past several years. THE 6TH TARGET is the sixth book in his Womens' Murder Club series, and it's easily the worst.

This book isn't really a novel as much as it's a collection of three underdeveloped crime subplots (plus a severely underdeveloped romantic subplot). None of these storylines is particularly interesting, since Patterson devotes so little space to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 6th Target
as usual James Patterson has given us a spell binding adventure in law and order with the Womens Club. I am looking forward to the TV series.

I miss Alex Cross and would love to read more of his adventures.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - How did the publisher get so stupid as to accept this?
This book gets 1 star because I don't know how to review witout giving at least one. What happened to Patterson? He was never a deep writer, never will, I hope, rank as a writer of American classiscs, but this is far below his usual medocrity. Maybe it's the second author; maybe she is really the ghost writer of this novel.

Besides the plot being almost non-existent, the characters are mere cardboard cutouts unable to stand alone. There are apparently a number of books in the "Women's ... Read More
