Nothing kills a McNugget craving faster than a Patterson belly-bomber plot.
I just finished Unlucky 13 by James Patterson, and I may not sleep tonight. Every time I pick up a Women’s Murder Club book, I’m reminded that police don’t get the luxury of one case at a time, and this one throws Lindsay straight into the blender. She’s juggling three nightmares at once: Maggie Morales (serial killer Randy Fish’s girlfriend who’s got revenge on her crazy brain), Brady and Yuki’s cruise being hijacked by pirates, and the belly bomber plot, which honestly made me the most uncomfortable. Who really knows what goes into fast food? Certainly not me. Makes me rethink my occasional McNugget cravings.
I loved Lindsay here: Strong, steady, and putting her baby first every chance she gets. Cindy, on the other hand… let’s just say chasing down a serial killer solo isn’t exactly a Mensa-approved plan. Yuki showed real backbone taking out one of the hijackers, and while Claire didn’t get a huge role this time, she was key in pulling Lindsay into the belly bomber case.
All in all, this was a five-star installment for me, and now I’m looking forward #14.
