Between The Pages - The 20th Victim

The 20th Victim
James Patterson 
May 2020 

Three victims, three bullets, three cities. The shooters' aim is as fearsomely precise as their target selection. When Lindsay realizes that the fallen men and women excel in a lucrative criminal activity, she leads the charge in the manhunt for the killers. As the casualty list expands, fear and fascination with this suspicious shooting gallery galvanizes the country. 

The victims were no angels, but are the shooters villains ... or heroes?

Between The Pages 
This installment of the Women’s Murder Club series offers the brisk pacing and high-stakes tension fans expect. The central case is compelling, though some plot elements feel familiar and follow a similar formula with Lindsay and her team once again chasing leads that go nowhere. With so many installments, a bit of repetition is perhaps inevitable. The freshness comes from the parallel storylines of Joe’s investigation and Claire’s personal news, which provide the book with the strongest emotional beats. Overall, an enjoyable read that could benefit from more inventive plotting.
