Christmas is coming, but crime never stops for the Women's Murder Club.

Reviews

  • James Patterson's newest book, written with Maxine Paetro, is like the socks your favourite aunt gave you a few years ago in your Christmas stocking. 19th Christmas is comfort underneath its cover. Sticking with the fuzzy socks analogy, this book is a good fit for fans of mysteries and chick-lit.
