"A very good book if you like to read crime mysteries. It has two investigations going on at the same time. One who is playing God with people's lives in a hospital. And the other killing young women. Also some court drama. Some pretty good surprises at the end. One that really I least exspected. "

“In their most gripping case yet, James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club convenes to track down a killer who hides among healers. A powerful hospital and courtroom thriller.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review -
“The numerically titled Womens Murder Club novels by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro are becoming an institution. The solid storytelling, engaging characters and, perhaps most importantly, the anything-can-happen plot lines have made each of the books in this series a notation on the must-read lists of hordes of readers. The 5th Horseman is no exception.”

" A Women's Murder Club page-turning thriller as good or better than the others. Yuki makes a fine addition to the club. "
— Chet, 2/10/2014 -
" This book is pretty typical for the "murder by numbers" style of writing that James Patterson's co-authors have become so familiar with. It's pretty much like all of the other books in the series, neither clearly better nor worse. The villains have never had much depth to them, and this tale is no different. The protagonists are a bit more static in this book than in previous ones; Clare and Cindy play pretty small roles, Lindsay stays fairly stable, and Yuki's role as the replacement lawyer becomes more solidified. "

" Like the first four of the Women's Murder club series, I had no idea who could possibly be the person behind all of the murders going onat the hospital. It really kept me in suspense throughout the entired book & they do not even tell you who it is until the last 2 or 3 pages. "
