Book Review: The Most Gripping Women’s Murder Club Thriller of Them All — The 23rd Midnight
Book Review: “The Latest in Women’s Murder Club Series” by James Patterson
Buckle up, folks, because James Patterson’s latest installment in the Women’s Murder Club series is one wild ride. In this book, Detective Lindsay Boxer is on the hunt for a copycat killer who is recreating the murders of a famous killer from their past. Meanwhile, reporter Cindy Thomas finds herself in danger as the copycat uses her book on the killer as a playbook for their twisted crimes.
If you’re a fan of Patterson’s fast-paced thrillers, you won’t be disappointed with this one. It’s got all the suspense and twists you could ask for, with a few gruesome details thrown in for good measure. But what sets it apart from other books in the series is the personal stakes for the Murder Club members themselves. Watching Lindsay and Cindy fight for their lives adds an extra layer of tension to the already intense plotline.
As with all of Patterson’s books, the writing is tight and the pacing is quick. You’ll find yourself turning pages long into the night, desperate to see how it all ends. And while the plot may be a bit far-fetched at times, it’s a testament to Patterson’s skill as a storyteller that you’re willing to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride.
Of course, fans of the series will be thrilled to see familiar faces from past books. Lindsay’s husband Joe and their daughter Julie make appearances, as does medical examiner Claire Washburn. And while it’s always fun to catch up with these characters, Patterson doesn’t rely on nostalgia to prop up the story. This one stands on its own, with plenty of new twists and turns to keep you engaged.
One thing that does stand out in this book is the use of the copycat killer trope. It’s not exactly a new concept, but Patterson puts his own spin on it, taking us inside the mind of the killer and showing us just how twisted they truly are. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re a fan of true crime podcasts or documentaries, you’ll be right at home here.
Overall, this book is a wild ride from start to finish. It’s got all the hallmarks of a classic James Patterson thriller: suspense, action, and a thrilling conclusion. But what sets it apart is the emotional investment we have in the characters. Seeing them in peril is heart-wrenching, and makes the stakes that much higher. If you’re a fan of the Women’s Murder Club series, you won’t want to miss this latest installment. And if you’re new to the series, this could be the perfect entry point. Just be prepared to lose a few nights of sleep — this one’s a page-turner.
