One: Lindsay is trying to catch a bomber that is feeding bombs to unwilling victims and then blowing them up all around San Fran. There are three totally separate storylines crammed into this novel - so separate in fact that you could take each one and create novellas and miss nothing. It makes me think that Patterson is definitely more about quantity (aka- money) over quality these days. What were once great series and books, seem to be going downhill. I think this rapid pace is ruining the books. But the newer ones (stand alone and series's) seem to be churned out in a rapid pace often in combination with other writers. He is a great writer - his older works demo stare that. I mentioned this in a previous review, but I truly wish Patterson would stop releasing tons of books each year, and actually take more time with them. This story almost read like separate novellas - rather then a unified book/ a unified Woman's Murder Club. Without spoiling anything, I think only one plot line was even slightly interesting, one was just ridiculous and the other seemed unfinished. The book jumped all over the place and impacted the overall flow negatively. In terms of this one, I don't think having the three different plot lines worked well. I used to love this series - and while I do still read it, the books as of late just haven't been as great.
