All opinions expressed in this review are my own. This is the eighth book in the series that I have read. Overall, this was entertaining, thought-provoking, and a page-turner. Additionally, it has a shocking twist that completely caught me by surprise. It was fast-paced and filled with action. With the usual short chapters, this story progressed quickly with other members of the Women’s Murder Club putting in cameo appearances. Unfortunately, the town is experiencing a string of murders that seem linked to an unsolved case from her rookie years.
Before and during a trial break, she goes to her sister’s home in nearby Half Moon Bay, California to get away from the press. After a late-night car chase, San Francisco police lieutenant Linsday Boxer fires her weapon leading to a family in turmoil and Lindsay facing a civil trial with her fate in the hands of twelve jurors. 4th of July by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro is part legal thriller and part crime thriller.
