So of all the hundreds of books James Patterson writes this is the only series I buy. Always a good read, but sadly a little disappointed with this one.

The 16th Seduction is the sixteenth book in the women’s murder club, the literary version of Murder, She Wrote but without the excitement. Still, it is a pleasant Sunday afternoon’s read when there is nothing else to do. Boxer and her husband are trying to patch things up as she had discovered that he had been lying to her about his past. She was upset that he had not told her that he had been a CIA agent. Yeah, he is in the wrong for doing his job and not talking about it. While they are out walking and talking, they witness the bombing of the Sci-Tron on pier 15. They run towards the bomb-damaged building to help when they come across Conor Grant who admits to being the bomber. Joe sprints off to Sci-Tron to see if there is anything he can do to support and help the survivors. While Joe is in Sci-Tron there is a secondary explosion, and he is trapped. Outside Boxer is worried about Joe even more so when he is brought out on a stretcher. There is a gang going around San Fransico murdering people and the only mark is that of a needle in the buttocks. All the victims have heart attacks even though they had healthy hearts and whoever is murdering the victims they are doing it with stealth and leaving no forensic evidence. Boxer needs some luck to crack the case and hope the killers leave some evidence behind. As with all the others in the series there is a very predictable outcome the good guys win and the bad guys are arrested.
