If you’ve listened to books by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro before, how does this one compare?

The same -- formulaic, but addicting. Even though I know exactly how it will begin to unfold, I'm addicted to the Women's Murder Club so I keep reading them.

What aspect of January LaVoy’s performance would you have changed?

She dramatizes the narrative to such an extent that it becomes distracting. It would be comical if it weren't so annoying.

Overly dramatic performance
