The 19th Christmas

By James Patterson & Maxine Paetro
The 19th Christmas by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, the Women's Murder Club gets ready for a quiet Christmas—until a mysterious killer decides to terrorize the city.
 
As the holidays approach, Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friends in the Women's Murder Club have much to celebrate. Crime is down. The medical examiner's office is quiet. Even the courts are showing some Christmas spirit. And the news cycle is so slow that journalist Cindy Thomas is on assignment to tell a story about the true meaning of the season for San Francisco.
 
Then a fearsome criminal known only as "Loman" seizes control of the headlines. Solving crimes never happens on schedule, but as this criminal mastermind unleashes credible threats by the hour, the month of December is upended for the Women's Murder Club. Avoiding tragedy is the only holiday miracle they seek.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“After binging The 17th Suspect and The 18th Abduction, I jumped right into The 19th Christmas, and it delivered exactly what I wanted—fast-paced action, easy-to-follow storytelling, and the familiar dynamic of the Women’s Murder Club. This one had a bit of a different feel, with a holiday backdrop adding some contrast to the high-stakes chase for a criminal mastermind planning a massive heist. Lindsay, Joe, and the rest of the team are racing against time, and while the case itself kept me engaged, I also liked the personal moments woven in. The mix of festive and suspenseful made for a fun, quick read. It’s not the most intense book in the series, but it’s still a solid installment. If you enjoy these characters and want a crime thriller with a holiday twist, this is an easy one to fly through.”
