Review: 25 Alive

25 Alive by James Patterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

25 Alive is the 25th book in the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.  You probably could start here, but you would be missing a lot of backstory.  These books go by fast, so it might be worth going back to the start if you have never read one.  If you have read them before, you could pick up here without a real problem.  

Let's just get it out of the way.  This is a sad one.  I was maybe a third of the way in when I thought this might be the last book.  And, it might be.  It is the first time that I think the ending wasn't wholly satisfactory.  That doesn't diminish the book.  Life doesn't always give us happy endings, and books shouldn't have to either.  If anything, this book left me a little nervous and anxious about the future of the Women's Murder Club. 

Bonus points for a very good dog.  I think I struggled the most with that part of the storyline.  I almost didn't finish!
