Series Sunday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

"I knew better than most that cases could be open for months or years or never solved. But this one would damn well be solved." ~ 25%
My Series Sunday pick is 25 Alive, the 25th book in the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. While bird watching, Sergeant Lindsay Boxer's friend and former partner is murdered in Golden Gate Park. Sadly, a character that readers have known for years is now the victim of a brutal murder. Being a top investigator until the very end, Warren Jacobi managed to leave a clue. The WMC bands together to follow a trail of evidence before the killer takes another one of their own.
Sometimes less is better when it comes to a book review. So as not to spoil the plot, let me show you better than I can tell you.
😰 My reaction at 6%: This how we starting, Patterson & Paetro?!?!
😲 My reaction at 99%: Whew—what an investigation this was!
This far into a series (25 books in), my expectations are not that high for a page-turning thriller. But this dynamic writing duo pleasantly surprised me and pulled out all the suspense stops for this installment of the Women's Murder Club series. I felt all of the emotions: sadness, anger, anxiety, disbelief, relief and more. It is easily one of my favorite books read so far this year with its perfect pacing, unpredictable plot and character development. Highly recommended!
Happy Early Pub Day, James Patterson and Maxine Paetro! 25 Alive will be available Monday, April 28.
