Joe has a hard time believing that there was any foul play in the old man’s death, after all Dave father was in the hospital for a bad heart. Perhaps his friend and college roommate is just overcome by the grief of loosing his father. Or perhaps not.

REVIEW
Hold on tight when you open this book. The 20th victim is a breathless rollercoaster of a ride. As the number of bodies pile up, the multiple story lines evolve faster and faster. You won’t be able to stop reading this dizzying carousel of a plot.
James Patterson and Maxine Paetro’s writing is taut, clever and satisfying. Thanks to the short chapters it’s a fast and furious read. The Women’s Murder Club characters are all delightfully unique and are strong female characters capable of carrying their own weight in the story. I never tire of reading about the drive and determination of these smart and fiery women. Keep them coming!
Of course January LaVoy does a fabulous job with narration on the audio book!
“That was another thing. McGowan was pushy. OK, the same had been said of her. But in Cindy’s opinion, McSmarty was no team player and would love to shove her under a speeding bus and snatch the top spot. Or maybe he’s just stick around, like gum under her shoe, and simply annoy her to death. ”
