"3rd Degree" - Women's Murder Club Novel

"3rd Degree" was written by James Patterson and Andrew Gross and is the third novel in the Women's Murder Club series starring Detective Lindsay Boxer.  This book is a #1 New York Times bestseller  as well as #1 in the Publisher's Weekly, Washington Post, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and #2 in the Wall Street Journal.

It is a thriller so suspenseful that I felt dared to finish it in one sitting.  Unfortunately, it was a few days before Christmas when I started reading it so working, holiday baking, and gift wrapping took precedence but I did finish it before Christmas!

Lindsay and her friend, Jill, are out for a morning run but, when Lindsay is on her way home, there is an explosion and a townhouse is on fire.  After calling for help she plunges into the burning building and pulls out a young boy, discovers three dead bodies and later learns there is a missing baby.  When the fire marshall finds it is not accidental and more bodies turn up in mysterious circumstances, Lindsay and her team have their hands full.  The cavalry arrives to assist them, though, in the form of the Deputy Director of Homeland Security, Joe Molinari.

As Joe and Lindsay team up, she finds he listens to her input and takes her seriously and together they make a good team but there is also another attraction between them.  Can they solve the case without getting too cozy personally?  This is a great read!  pazt
