#10--9th Judgement

My #10 book was 9th Judgement by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. This is another of my favorite authors and the 9th installment of a great series called The Women's Murder Club.

In this installment it follows detective Lindsey Boxer on some of the most complicated cases yet. There is a case about a burglar that sneaks into wealthy people's homes while they are having parties and steal all their jewelry. However, one night there is a murder at one of the homes and a famous actor's wife is killed. Another case is of a terrorist that hunts down women and their children in public places and threatens chaos on the city of San Francisco.

We also learn more about Lindsey and her friends Claire, Cindy and Yuki on their personal lives and working to solve the cases.

#9--The Shadow of Your Smile

My #9 book is called The Shadow of Your Smile by one of my favorites, Mary Higgins Clark. I have loved just about every book that she has written, and this one did not disappoint.

An elderly women name Olivia and is in failing health, with no children or family she is alone. However, there is a secret that Olivia keeps for her deceased cousin, that could affect her becoming a saint, the face that she had a child that was put up for adoption before entering the convent. If she decides to keep it a secret the unknown family of her cousin would not get any type of inheritance but if she seeks them out it could affect her cousin Catherine's beatification process.

Dr. Monica Farrell is also living in New York City and is working at a Pediatrics hospital. After her parents passed away she dedicated her time to the hospital. Since her father was adopted she does not have many relatives and she is determined to find her father's family.

Can Olivia and Monica meet in time for her to inherit the family fortune before it's all gone?
