Reading Room - 22 Seconds

My book review on 22 Seconds for Still Moments Magazine.

22 Seconds

James Patterson 

May 2022 

SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer has guns on her mind and only twenty-two seconds until she loses her badge—or her life. 

There’s buzz of a last-ditch shipment of drugs and weapons crossing the Mexican border ahead of new restrictive gun laws. Before Lindsay can act, her top informant tips her to a case that hits disturbingly close to home. 

Former cops. Professional hits. All with the same warning scrawled on their bodies: You talk, you die. 

Now it’s Lindsay’s turn to choose. 

Between The Pages 

22 Seconds by James Patterson delivers exactly what fans of the Women’s Murder Club series crave: a high stakes thriller that refuses to let go. The storyline is fast paced and engaging, showcasing Patterson’s trademark ability to hook a reader from page one and hold their attention through every twist. Joe’s expanded presence added welcome texture. The novel’s pace is relentless, its twists well timed, and its characters as engaging as ever. Another strong, entertaining entry in a long running series that continues to deliver. 

Rating: 5 Stars

Dee's Deliberations #3

Can you relate to Dee's dilemma today? I definitely can. 

There are too many times I should 'get stuff done' but the book is just too good to put down. I just finished James Patterson's 22 Seconds (part of the Women's Murder Club series), and I flew through that book - it was that good. And yesterday, I started The 23rd Midnight. I'm hooked on this series.

However, I have a manuscript to finish, so I have to 'get stuff done' and then I'll reward myself by reading a few chapters.
