6. 7th Heaven by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Like tons of people I enjoy the Women’s Murder Club book series (i like the show too, but the books are better.), and I was excited when this one came out because it said it was the “MOST TERRIFYING CASE EVER”. Well, it wasn’t really. To me, anyway. But then again I still feel burned by the whole “Jill thing”. (JP, you bastard.)

I did like this book though. I loved the bad guys in this because as with any True Crime fan, I have a couple of my “faves” that I like to read up on, and Leopold and Loeb just happens to be one of those cases. So when I started reading about these intelligent serial killer students I was excited because I couldn’t WAIT for Boxer to catch those bastards. The Leopold and Loeb case is only mentioned VERY briefly by Boxer’s boy friend, Joe. So I was a wee bit disappointed in that. But then again, maybe Patterson is all, “People are going to see the similarities in these characters with L&L, so why beat a dead horse?”
Why indeed?

Speaking of Dead Horse Beating and Joe, WHY THE HELL CAN’T WE JUST HAVE A REGULAR MYSTERY SOLVED AND THEN EVERYONE GETS TO GO HOME HAPPY? No, we’ve got to have extra bullshit drama. It SLAYS me that Lindsey and Joe FINALLY get to have a REAL relationship, and now? NOW? Lindsey’s getting all hot for Conklin? really? Are you serious? I understand being attracted to someone, really I do. That’s human nature. But COME the hell ON. For once, ONCE, I’d like to read about a character who ISN’T FORCED TO BE ALL SELF-DESTRUCTIVE IN THE NAME OF UNNECESSARY DRAMA.
