Book Review: "The 19th Christmas" By James Patterson

Ring the bells the season is almost upon us and everything is coming up roses....

Well not quite!


It's time to deck the halls and begin to celebrate the approaching New Year, but why would we have normalcy.
There's a problem with this "Loman" character and readers are led on a chase to find out why.


So, of course panic ensues, time frames linger from past to present, plot twist are ratcheted up and quite frankly everything goes haywire.


After all a deadly surprise being offered up on Christmas in San Fran isn't what anyone needs at the moment and certainly not the members of the Women's Murder Club.


Now if you follow my reviews you know I'm knowledgeable about narcissists and toxic individuals.


This book has that feel of the crazy train in the sense that smoke and mirrors are offered up with colleagues doing the dirty work for 'Team Logan' yet a disconnect happens within the plot.


Go figure! RIGHT?


After all who is "Loman" ?


Primary and secondary plots are woven tightly but with predictability.
Each distraction and smoke screen did nothing to add to the complexity of the villain.
Will the identity of Loman be revealed?


What about those 4 ladies of the club?


Claire had very little involvement having left for holidays to teach while Cindy and Yuki deal with complications to immigration issues. Lindsay has taken center stage with her escapades.


It's a typical JP novel with nothing out of the norm here for the fans.


Always quick and relevant to today's times but I'd love to have more thrills..
