PATTERSON and Paetro explode onto the page in the latest Women’s Murder Club novel, Unlucky 13. As the title suggests, this is the thirteenth novel in the series and there are no signs of it slowing down.

Detective Lindsay Boxer is called to a traffic incident which has closed off the Golden Gate Bridge. However, as she is soon to discover, this is no accident.

Someone is planting bombs in fast food burgers, but who and why?

The case becomes complicated when Boxer’s former colleagueturned- killer, Mackie Morales, is sighted in the area after escaping custody and Mackie is clear that she isn’t going to let anything stop her seeking a bloody revenge on the detective who placed her behind bars.

There is no let-up in the action throughout this novel and it’s very difficult to put down. Another winning addition to an already popular series.
