Unfortunately, this book does not live up to the previous ones in the series. There are several VERY unrealistic scenarios throughout the book.

WARNING - SPOILERS!

First, Lindsay returns to active duty after about a week of maternity leave. Secondly, an intern within the police department is allowed access to a potential crime scene that would never happen in real life. Further, a very senior FBI official allows an imprisoned felon to accompany the police not once, but twice to potential crime scenes after deceiving the police many times. Again, this would absolutely never happen in real life. Finally, after the birth of her first baby, Lindsay has a brief visit with the "Women's Murder Club" (of course at their favorite restaurant), but that is it for the entire book. Really? After something that life-changing, the girls aren't there for her as she goes through a very harrowing time in her life? Give me a break!

I found myself repeatedly questioning how truly unbelievable the story was in many instances, and how it seemed to be a rush to finish writing the book without providing enough character details. Then again, what should I expect at this point from James Patterson - his books seem to all be getting like that as he gets older.
