The 6th Target by James Patterson, Maxine Paetro (2008)

I bought it to complete the series of the Women's Murder Club. I had a hard time putting it down...it was classic Patterson. It kept me interested from the very first page and there's always a surprise ending in his books.

I've only just started reading this book, but i'm sure i will love it. I started reading this series and will continue as long as James Patterson writes them. They work well for me because my reading time is sporatic. His chapters are short and while I never want to put the book down, it makes it easy to do so. I enjoy murder mysteries, but read for relaxation and enjoyment..James Patterson fits that criteria perfectly for me.

The gang is back to solve another case, except that this time, there are numerous parallel mysteries running amok in Patterson's THE 6TH TARGET.

Fred Brinkley, a man who hears voices inside his head, is videotaped murdering four innocent people aboard a ferry. He's charged with attempting to kill two others, one of whom happens to be a now critically injured Claire Washburn.

A five-year-old piano playing prodigy by the name of Madison Tyler is snatched off the street along with her nanny, and with no ransom note coming in to the family, things aren't looking good.

At Blakely Arms, an apartment complex, things are going from bad to worse as a dog is viciously murdered, residents are attacked, and people are beginning to suspect a neighbor in the building.

Demotions, pregnancies, relationship break-ups, life-altering decisons -- all of these plot lines vie for space within THE 6TH TARGET. As the four players of The Women's Murder Club set out to get their lives together while solving a series of mysteries, you'll be glad that you're along for this fast-paced, thrilling ride.

I love all of the Patterson books. Was a little disappointed with the ending but it may be the lead story in the 7th book. Worth the read for the stories that did end.
