Product Description:
When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

- Lotsa Murder Going Here
In case you don't know, the Woman's Murder Club is made up of San Francisco Detective Lindsay Boxer, Assistant D.A. Yuki Castellano, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn and Reporter Cindy Thomas. In this one we have three story lines going at once, all interesting.

The book opens with wacko Fred Brinkley firing six shots at passengers on a ferry. Four people die and Murder Club Member Claire Washburn is wounded. Brinkley is quickly arrested, but is he sane, Yuki is going to try awfully darned hard to prove he is.

Meanwhile person or persons unknown are kidnapping rich kids and their nannies. The nannies turn up without a pulse, but the children are kept by the nefarious bad guys, who warn the families that their darlings will remain alive and unharmed as long as they don't go to the cops.

And meanwhile again, there are problems a brewing in Cindy's new apartment building. Some ... Read More

- Almost perfect
Albeit the stories in the book are good and they'll keep you reading and maybe you'll've a good time, the way Lindsay found the killers is almost preposterous.

P.S. In the very last page says in Spanish:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores / porque cantando se alegran / cielito lindo."

The real translation is:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay, Sing, don't cry/ because by singing will cheer / my darling

- Another good one....
I wasn't excited to pick this one up, but I am glad I did. It keep my attention and actually I like listening to Patterson's books....They flow, are fast paced and easy to follow.....this one didn't disappoint.

- The Worst in the Series
I find James Patterson a guilty pleasure, but the entertainment value of his books have been slipping dramatically over the past several years. THE 6TH TARGET is the sixth book in his Womens' Murder Club series, and it's easily the worst.

This book isn't really a novel as much as it's a collection of three underdeveloped crime subplots (plus a severely underdeveloped romantic subplot). None of these storylines is particularly interesting, since Patterson devotes so little space to fleshing them out. Just when one subplot gets going, Patterson abruptly shifts gears and heads to the next one. The result is jarring, and deprives the book of any momentum. The characterization in this book is also quite negligible, which is almost a given in any Patterson book these days.

The first four novels in this series were light fun, but the last two were pretty much a waste of time. 6TH TARGET ... Read More
