THE 6TH TARGET

by James Patterson, Maxine Paetro | Read by Carolyn McCormick

Mystery & Suspense • 6 hrs. • Abridged • © 2007

Fast-paced crime-solving and baffling new developments abound in this installment of the Women's Murder Club. Musical interludes help set the menacing tone between chapters as well as announce cliff-hangers and foreshadow twists in the story. Carolyn McCormick paces the novel well, speeding up in tense moments and slowing for romantic entanglements. As in all novels by Patterson and company, pieces of the story are masterfully, but slowly, developed so listeners can puzzle over the connections until all is revealed. Information left out of the complete work would help listeners fill in gaps; however, McCormick delivers this abridged installment of the Murder Club's case in a satisfying open-and-shut style.
