Sundays at Tiffany's (2010), telefilm directed by Mark Piznarski, based on novel Sundays at Tiffany's

While Lucas Burke is brought it for questioning and arrested, he makes a huge accusation, that it could be his father behind the murders. Lucas is certain he has resumed hunting for victims, but with little to substantiate it, the DA moves ahead with murder charges. I love the women of the Murder Club. They are all strong and determined women in male dominated careers. They work together to find the clues, help each other and catch the bad guys. It is a clever concept and it works well - or we wouldn't be on book 21. Thanks, Linds. I’m putting you on speaker. I’m here with Kathleen Wyatt. I’ll let her tell you why. Kathleen, this is Sergeant Lindsay Boxer of Homicide.” The story was quite good as many have been in this series. Boxer and the rest of the Women's Murder Club try to work their twists and turns. The story flowed well and the narrative kept its momentum throughout. If you are a Patterson and Paetro fan, I highly recommend this book. I've admired them for a LONG time and admire the plot and the execution of the story.Usually with this series, I complain about the characters having plotlines that rarely if ever intersect. Here, I was thrilled to see that the characters, including Claire and Yuki, are working together on one case, and they all get their moments to shine. While the characters are a bit thin, we did like them all and care enough to keep reading. The plot is compelling with twists that intrigue. However, the authors can’t land it. I get what we are supposed to think happened, but in the rush to wrap things up after the final twist, we don’t get a major plot point from earlier in the book explained. Meanwhile, the editing was sloppy, including students at a high school being in class on a Saturday, missing days, and Lindsay being in two places at once near the end of the book. This reads more like a first draft that needed an editor to help polish it up instead of a finished novel. Book Genre: Adult, Crime, Detective, Fiction, Murder Mystery, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, Suspense, Thriller So the first two thirds of the book were so good that I thought I might have a 5 star book when I finished. The last third was so bad that I feel like it was written by someone workshopping their first story. Freshman year of college. Not only was it totally rushed after a certain point (don’t want to have any spoilers ) but it had such ridiculous things going on that I am not even fully sure what happened. Things I still don’t get:

Now that Kathleen had told Cindy the story to her face, her credibility had risen. But, damn it, Cindy couldn’t know if Kathleen was paranoid or in an understandable panic that her loved ones could be in danger—or worse. Her fear was relatable and the idea of a murderous husband plausible. It happened too often. And that it may have happened since Kathleen posted her cri de coeur this morning made Cindy feel awful and guilty. And still, there was nothing she could do to help.

Boxer goes to Vegas for roughly 24 hours yet her husband and child meet her at the SF airport and act like it’s been weeks. I would have said it is just not how I would behave or think BUT they add how they buy the kid a t-shirt at the gift shop. Their home airport of SF not even from Vegas where she was. And buy the neighbor a hoodie? From their home gift shop?! After 24 hour trip?! As always, we have a case that all the ladies are involved in. Lindsay is dealing with a new boss and shake up of the department. Claire is returning to work after her treatment and Yuki and Cindy are working hard as usual.. On the hunt for a big story, Cindy is approached by a worried and distressed mother. Her daughter , Tara and baby grand daughter are missing and she believes that her son-in-law, Lucas Burke has hurt them. She won't take no for an answer so Cindy reaches out to Lindsay who works the case, again the new bosses wishes. But this case is more than any of them bargained for and it will take all of their skills to bust it open. It leads onto what I think will be an exciting book 22 for Cindy as well.

Cindy Thomas was at work in her office at the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday at 5:30 p.m. when she heard a woman calling her name. The characters and events in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author.Then, last week, Bob Barnett called her at home, saying, “I’ve been following your Burke serial avidly. Great work, Cindy. If you craft it into a proposal, I believe I can sell it.” In November 2015, Patterson received the Literarian Award from the National Book Foundation.
