As usual Steve Berry does not disappoint. Cotton Malone, Cassiopeia Vitt, & Stephanie Nelle are 3 of my favorite characters. And happily, this book was no exception. It had all the history, intrigue, murder, & mayhem you come to expect from Cotton & Berry. No matter how many books I read with this combination they never get old.

Book Favorite

"No, not vampires; the late William Gay unfortunately didn't anticipate the world takeover of Bella and Edward when he named his backwoods Tennessee gothic novel, but it is no less a stunning web of Cormac McCarthy-esque necrophilia, murder, spot-on rural dialogue, and haunting renditions of nature. He is my new favorite writer."

The pope is coming to LA, and Madeline is catering the welcome breakfast. But while prepping, she finds a letter that seems to confess to a murder, and it sets her off on a mystery with ties to the past. Still my favorite in the series with a fast paced, twisty plot and such wonderful characters.

Movie Favorite

"My second favorite film, I would probably say my most favorite documentary of all time, is a film called Brother’s Keeper by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. Those are the same guys who did Paradise Lost and Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Brother’s Keeper is this amazing film about a brother who was murdered, and it’s this omniscient journey as the murder gets uncovered and the investigation is happening. You know, they take one of the brothers to court, and the story just unfolds in front of you in a way that’s so twisted and bizarre and weird. This, for me, represents what a great documentary does. It just kind of unfolds in front of you in a way you can’t expect."

Although this one wasn't my favorite of the murder club books, I still enjoyed reading it, more so for the characters than the plot. I love reading about these characters, not only reading about the going ons of their everyday lives but also their relationships with each other. I love reading about these women: their ups and downs, trials and tribulations and what makes them as awesome as they are. I hope there's going to be another in the series!

Okay, it is official... I am putting this book in my "did not finish" pile. Rohypnol, rape, murder, and horrible writing/characters these are a few of my least favorite things. I haven't put a book in this list in well... forever. I am creating a "did not finish" shelf just for this book.

1st, the characters are 1 dimensional. I made it to page 90 and I just had to stop reading. The characters fell very flat.

2nd, this book reads like a high schooler's wet dream. There is the threat of rape, rape, and well... lots of sex.

3rd, I felt like the writer decided to add "big words" just to feel like a good writer. It felt like the writer had to use a thesaurus constantly.

I really wanted to like this book. It is suspense/romance which is my favorite genre but it just fell flat.
