Publisher Description
For every secret
Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous crime: a badly injured teenage girl is left for dead, and her newborn baby is nowhere to be found. Lindsay discovers that not only is there no trace of the criminals--but that the victim may be keeping secrets as well.
For every lie
At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life--a woman who has been accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict, so when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, she is forced to choose. Should she trust her best friend or follow her instinct?
There's a different way to die
Lindsay's every move is watched by her new boss, Lieutenant Jackson Brady, and when the pressure to find the baby begins interfering with her new marriage to Joe, she wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family. With James Patterson's white-hot speed and unquenchable action, 10th Anniversary is the most deliciously chilling Women's Murder Club book ever.

"I thought this book was great. It was fast-paced and I was hooked, needing to find out what happens next. Not a lot of depth to the story, but a good read nonetheless. I really like this style of writing - tons of really short chapters feels like the story is moving faster. "
— Tara (5 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Patterson and coauthor Paetro spin a fast-paced triple mystery that expertly weaves the stories together. It is the distinct yet complementary personalities of the WMC members that make the story’s heart beat. Highly recommended for series fans as well as readers who enjoy David Baldacci, Patricia Cornwell, and John Grisham.”

" Two stories in one. It kept flipping back and forth between the two. "
— Lynn, 2/6/2014 -
" Another easy read in this series. Finally some resolution to some long running plot lines and the promise of other strands to come "
— Teotakuu, 2/5/2014 -
" It was good. A typical james patterson story, fast. "
— Catherine, 2/3/2014 -
" I loved it! I enjoy and feel part of the Women's Murder Club along with Lindsay, Claire, Cindy & Yuki. The book has a nice pace and the characters (and their relationships) keep evolving with each book. "
— Helena, 1/25/2014 -
" I've been disappointed with Patterson lately. This was a little better but not much. Even though the characters have been developed over the past 9 books they felt flat here. And too many plot lines to feel like any of them were complete. Over all if was OK but not great. "
— Diana, 1/18/2014 -
" Just OK read of the "Woman's Murder Club"...the usual formula of one being "at risk", continuing exploration of one ore more's love life, some serial criminal and a trial procedural...I do love the growth of the characterizations of our character cast and for that will continue the series "
— Mark, 1/18/2014 -
" Looking forward to the next one in this series,I'm hooked. "
— Antonia, 1/16/2014 -
" While I enjoyed the book it was definitely not my favorite of the series. It did not have the intensity that the other books in the series have. "
— Kathy, 1/10/2014 -
" Great story lines - couldn't put it down. "
— Theresa, 1/3/2014 -
" I love this series. Unlike other series, it hasn't gotten old and tired yet and every book brings a new twist that's unexpected. Can't wait for 11! "
— Jackie, 12/28/2013 -
" Once again, as James Patterson/Lindsay Boxer fan, I found this an easy, enjoyable read. I call these "Beach Books". . . the kind you take to the beach where you don't have to concentrate to get the gist. "
— Kristin, 12/24/2013 -
" I have really enjoyed this series and they are quick reads for me but I had to rate this three stars because it wasn't a stand out read. I enjoyed it and still like the characters but I'm not as caught up by it as I was earlier in the series. I can wait to read 11 when it comes out in paperback. "
— Ami, 11/22/2013 -
" great read for the plane. "
— Sandra, 11/6/2013 -
" This series is continuing to hold my interest. This series is very dark, but the formula keeps working for me. Lindsay and Joe get married, Yuki's romance heats up, Cyndi and Richie get engaged - and then there's the mysteries. Good reading. "
— Cathi95, 10/19/2013 -
" Good, but almost too many story lines. Now she's married & pregnant?? This may spoil the story line. "
— Cathy, 10/16/2013 -
" I really enjoy all the books in this "Women's Murder Club" series. They have strong, intelligent female characters and always very interesting and suspenseful mysteries. I highly recommend this series and the latest book doesn't disappoint. "

" The first James Patterson book I read was one of the women's murder club mysteries and I've been a Patterson fan ever since. I like the characters and the quick read. Not the best in the series but I liked it nonetheless. "

" It was a good story but I didn't like the way it ended. "
— Barb, 7/9/2011 -
" Don't read many male authors and didn't know he had a Women's Murder Club series. My main complaint was it was too much about the women's personal lives with the mystery almost peripheral. "
— Sara, 6/21/2011 -
" Classic James Patterson. Good quick read "
— Amy, 5/23/2011 -

— Midge, 5/22/2011 -
" I thought this Women's Murder Club episode was quite good. He wove a lot of different stories into the main one. This was one of his better ones. "
— Tricia, 5/21/2011 -
" At least some of James Patterson's books are still good - even though I can't say anymore if it is because of him or his co-writers...<br/>This was another fast paced thriller, with our very familiar caracters, and some personal developments. Enjoyable, fun and entertaining. "
— Claudia, 5/21/2011 -
" I liked this one a lot better than the last one. That being said the way it ended made me wonder if this was going to be the last women's Murder Club book. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. "
— Candace, 5/19/2011 -
" Another great WMC book by James Patterson. I liked the multiple story-lines and how he kept everything flowing. I was not disappointed. "
