Summary
Detective and mystery stories. Two cases have pushed Detective Lindsay Boxer to the limit. A string of fatal arson attacks have broken out in San Fransisco. The targets have one thing in common: they are all rich, successful, married couples. With four couples dead, Lindsay is determined to put a stop to the killings and trace the murderer. Juggling cases, Lindsay has plenty on her mind. Michael Campion was a people's hero, a popular governor's son who publicly battled against a rare and debilatating heart illness. When he vanished without a trace one evening, his disappearance and the search to find him, dead or alive, hit the headlines daily. But the trail went cold very quickly. Now with a devastating new lead, Lindsay picks up the trail once more. But what is the link between the Campion case and the arson attacks? With the help of her friends and fellow Women's Murder Club members - Yuki, an attorney feeling the strain of a high profile court case; Claire, a medical examiner trying to balance her career and her pregnancy and Cindy, the reporter for a San Fransisco newspaper - Lindsay must race to find the suspects and stop the cold-blooded killers, and fast.

Deborah Wiley (Winter Haven, FL)

Fires are being set to homes of the wealthy, leaving the residents dead. Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner, Rich Conklin, are trying to find the murdering arsonists when they get a tip on another prominent case. The case involving the disappearance of Michael Campion, the son of a former governor, has been at a standstill but an anonymous tipster provides a new lead. Soon, Boxer and Conklin have a confession, but will it stand up in court? Women's Murder Club member and Assistant District Attorney, Yuki Castellano, will have the case of her life as the trial starts. Meanwhile, will Boxer and Conklin find the deadly arsonists?

The members of the Women's Murder Club are at it yet again in 7TH HEAVEN. Each book is written to stand alone although the friendship of these women has grown throughout the series. There are hints about past incidents that fans of the series will appreciate. It should be noted that newcomers to the series will miss the character development that has built slowly throughout the series, as some of the members of the Women's Murder Club only make brief appearances in 7TH HEAVEN.

Patterson and Paetro delve a bit further into Lindsay Boxer's psyche, this time examining her relationship to Joe versus her commitment to work. Yuki's insecurities are also examined as she is up against a female attorney not known for losing. Will these two members grow stronger as they face adversity?

James Patterson and Maxine Paetro deliver another fantastic thriller with 7th HEAVEN. The fast pace will have readers rapidly turning pages to see just how things will unfold. 7TH HEAVEN is yet another hit from these two talented authors and is easily recommended.

Vesta Irene (the Pacific Northwest)

The Woman's Murder Club is made up of Detective Lindsay Boxer, Assistant D.A. Yuki Castellano, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn and Reporter Cindy Thomas, so when these girls sink their teeth into a crime in San Francisco, Criminal lookout.

In this outing popular and well liked Michael Campion, son of the past Governor of California has been kidnapped. We learn fairly soon that hooker Junie Moon was present when Michael was killed, but did she do it?

Meanwhile some guys named Pidge and Hawk are burning down the houses of the wealthy, while the wealthy are still in them, and that'll get the attention of the SFPD real quick, crispy rich people.

So there you have the crimes the gals are going to dig into when you dig into this fast paced book (and the pace is made even faster by Mr. Patterson's short chapters: 376 pagers cut up into a whopping 125 chapters. You can do the math, they're short.) I read the book in one sitting, just couldn't put it down.

Bill Garrison (Oklahoma City, OK USA)

Lindsay, Yuki, Claire and Cindy are back for the seventh adventure of the Women's Murder Club in James Patterson's 7th Heaven. We all know that Patterson gets his name plastered on an insane amout of books, and since he is behind so many of them, some of them are bound to be good. And guess, what, 7th Heaven is a really good book, perhaps the best in the series.

The book opens with a couple (we learn they are rich and upper class) being held captive by Pidge and Hawk. The couple are pleading for their lives as Pidge and Hawk promise them they will live, and that this is only a robbery. Pidge and Hawk steal valuables from the couple, then set the house on fire with the couple still tied up inside. That is case #1. The second case is Michael Campion. He's an 18 year-old boy with heart defect that also happens to be the son of the former governor of California, Connor Campion. Lindsay Boxer and her parter Rich Conklin receive a tip that young Michael was last seen entering the house of a prostitute named Junie Young.

Junie is hauled down to the police station where she denies knowing Campion before finally admitting that he died of a heart attach while with her and that all she did was dispose of the body. Governor Campion insists that this girl be tried for 2nd degree murder, and Yuki gets assigned the case. The book then proceeds to follow the case as Junie is put on trial and the exploits of the serial arsonists as killers Pidge and Hawk continue to strike.

The last two novels in the series have started the disappointing trend of having several cases going on that aren't necessarily related. So it's like 3 mini-novels inside one big one. The Cross books aren't like this, and I feared 7th Heaven would suffer just like 6th Target did. You dillute the strength of the novel by having several murder cases at once. But 7th Heaven has a lot going for it. First, something isn't quite right with the Campion case. There is no evidence except for a recanted confession, yet Yuki insists on prosecuting anyway. As for the arsonists, Pidge and Hawk are truly brutal killers. Lindsay lies awake at night as fears of the case overwhelm her, and she begins to even suspect her own arson investigator, James Hanni. Also, Lindsay's relationship with Joe while also being attracted to her partner, Rich, was someone interesting. And to top it all off, both cases manage to intersect as some point and both cases have high quality endings.

Fans and skeptics of Patterson will enjoy this novel. After one of the worst novels of any genre and by any author in YOU'VE BEEN WARNED, Patterson again returns to what has made him so popular. Readers should remember that just because one Patterson novel is really good, there is no guarantee that the next will be worth the pages it is printed on.
