Picking up a Womens Murder Club Book is always like catching up with "old friends". The 12th in the series does not disappoint. Two killers need to be stopped. A professor keeps arriving at the station prophesying about murders that are being committed in his dreams. Unfortunately for the squad, the dreams seem to be coming true. Claire is being pushed out of her position as ME because she seems to have "lost a body". If you are a Fan, you'll really like this book.

I can't believe how many positive reviews this book has received. I had been looking forward to this book since the last one. I usually really enjoy this series, but this installment was a true disappointment.
No major spoilers here, but the stories were disjointed, some chapters seemed out of order and there were things written about the baby that seemed like nobody involved in the writing or editing had ever had a baby or spent the time reading about baby development or even understanding the mindset of a working mom. The baby develops a fever on Lindsay's first day back at work and when she arrives home the house is filled with the Murder Club Women! And they are passing around the baby! And nobody mentions that she had a fever or asks how the baby is doing!! And the reader feels like she missed something...only the fever comes back! Ultimately, the baby is admitted to the hospital for testing and Lindsay and Joe leave a days-old baby at the hospital! The next day, there is concern shown and there is a passage from Lindsay about how Joe is going to the hospital and not leaving Julie's side. Huh?!
That's just one example. As another reviewer said, usually Patterson and Paetro wrap everything up in a nice bow, but there were many story lines happening and several loose ends were left hanging.
Cindy was barely there and very missed by this reader. The beginning actually seemed like it was written by another author. I didn't think the characters seemed like themselves, especially Claire at the beginning right as she was going to take law enforcement through an autopsy.
As with all Patterson novels, I read the book quickly, but I was annoyed through most of it and wish it had more focus and more depth with all the characters we have come to know and want to spend time with.
