NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority

Product Information

This book really changed my mind about Kylie, making me enjoy reading about her just as much as I did at the beginning of the series which also made reading about the crime fighting duo of Zach and Kylie a lot more fun as well. The camaraderie between her and Detective Zach Jordan is great, and their witty banter is enjoyable. As the serial killer roams freely in the city, pressure keeps mounting on NYPD Red from the public as well as from the political leaders. Apparently, someone hired the KODs to do the deeds when the rich and untouchables got away with murder. After a successful career in advertising, Marshall moved from New York to Los Angeles, where he wrote and produced television comedies for stars like George Clooney, and a feature film, JUST LOOKING, directed by Jason Alexander, a coming-of-age comedy loosely based on Marshall’s own embarrassing teenage years.

After coauthoring six previous NYPD Red novels with cocreator James Patterson, bestseller Karp (the Lomax and Biggs mysteries) solos in the rousing seventh entry. Those who are faithful readers to this series will not be disappointed - all of your favorite characters are back and the mystery in this book was intriguing.

Karp's version of this thing that we've seen and read about in other books/shows/movies/comics is as successfully conceived and executed as I've seen it. It may not be as flashy as a huge twist but can leave the reader just as discombobulated and unprepared for what's next.

Not even a single mistake is expected from them as it is their prime duty to take care that nothing happens to the celebrities or other people during the premiere. In this installment, a Harvey Weinstein type is unbelievably exonerated of killing a police officer and as he steps up to a microphone on the courthouse steps to gloat, an invisible sniper delivers Wild West justice. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

And I'm really glad I did—it won me over pretty easily, I got invested and caught up in the story, and generally had fun reading the book. An attorney and mother of two discovers her husband's secret life—and it might cost them all their lives. I'm definitely interested in NYPD Red 8, assuming that Karp gets to do another one and I hope the sales without Patterson's name on the cover allow it.
