![]() ![]() So, Lindsay and her wonderful, adorable partner, Rich Conklin, have to figure out why someone at this particular burger chain is killing people and demanding ransom. The person is blasted apart from the inside out. In this case, the bomb reacts with their stomach acids and explodes. A belly bomb is a tiny little bomb that has been tucked into food and unwittingly – one assumes – ingested. If you’re very squeamish, you might want to skip to the next paragraph right now. The one first introduced involves “belly bombs,” which, unfortunately, are exactly what they sound like. This ambitious little book has three plots going at once and I’m not entirely sure which is the main one. As the title indicates, this is the 13th in the series. The club is currently comprised of San Francisco police detective Lindsay Boxer, medical examiner Claire Washburn, DA Yuki Castellano, and reporter Cindy Thomas. Patterson has the sense to use a female co-writer, Maxine Paetro. They work together to solve murders, but so much of it is about the relationships between the women, which are very well drawn, possibly because Mr. James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series is a girlfriends’ story. ![]()
