Title: 4th of July (Audiobook)Author: James Patterson and Maxine Paetro
Recommended by: This audiobook was a contest win from Linus's Blanket.
Last word first: Meh. Not as good as I wanted it to be.
Description: Despite the loss of one member, the Women's Murder Club is still going strong. In this episode, Lindsay is nearly killed, then ends up the target of a lawsuit. As if that wasn't enough, mysterious killings are ruining her (unplanned) vacation.
My thoughts: I didn't read books 2 and 3 of the series, but I really didn't have any trouble picking up the story. The authors do a good job of giving you pertinent facts about what happened in the last book, without ruining the story, either.
This wasn't my favorite installment of the series so far. These definitely aren't deep thinking, change-your-life books, but I really enjoyed the first one. This one just kept losing me. They spent so much time with Lindsay's trial, when I wish there would have been more focus on the mystery.
On the plus side, I like the addition of a new member to the Murder Club. And I think Lindsay's new beau is delightful. I'll keep going with the series in the hopes that the next story is better.

You're so timely :)
I have only read the first 2 in the series, but can't wait to read more. My mom also likes this series and is one book ahead of me. This is the next one for her. I love the series so far. I can't put the book down once I start it!
