NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority

Product Information

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. Publishing is a not-too-subtle blend of art and commerce, and as you can see, commerce always kicks art’s ass. Perhaps it's because this is a later book in the series, perhaps it's the shift in authors, maybe it's just the way things worked out here in NYPD Red 7—I'm not sure I care—but that problem is gone. The camaraderie between her and Detective Zach Jordan is great, and their witty banter is enjoyable.

Starting with NYPD Red 7, Marshall will become the sole author of the series, which features Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan as members of an elite task force dedicated to solving crimes committed against — and sometimes by — New York City’s rich and famous. Detective Michael Bennett teams with a shooting expert—a former Army Rangerandsniper with NYPD’s EmergencyServices Unit.So I started thinking about the next one, and when I had a great idea I submitted it to several publishers. The most lavish wedding of the season invites the most brazen kidnapper in New York City to make the bride disappear. I enjoy seeing detectives work in this world as much as I do seeing them in more "everyday" settings belonging to the middle and lower class. It also includes some very coincidental, but well-delivered, character development for Zach that was a surprisingly beneficial element that strengthened the storylines.

Detectives—and their friends, lovers, contacts—who are impossibly attractive and extraordinarily bright on the trail of implausibly effective and skilled killers. Three more murders take place in the same manner in different parts of the city one after the other. They always look to sort out the problems in their personal and professional lives, and have each other supports in doing so.First, a sniper marksman takes the life of Warren Hellman, a high profile movie producer, as he leaves the court following his being found not guilty of intentionally killing a well-respected New York detective. The first thing that they think they must find out is the motive of the killer behind the serial killings.

The NYPD Red squad—with Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan in the lead—is assigned to these cases and they want to consider that there's one person behind the killings—with two accomplices doing the killing. After coauthoring six previous NYPD Red novels with cocreator James Patterson, bestseller Karp (the Lomax and Biggs mysteries) solos in the rousing seventh entry. Officially barred from investigating (and she is front-and-center on a case the media and City Hall are focused on), Kylie is mostly watching this from the sidelines—but manages to help the detectives on the case while worried about his recovery. We had our yellow barrel, and we were going to follow it…before it [the movie] ends the shark sinks Quint’s boat and eats him alive, but still, a lead is a lead.A gripping set of crimes, great character development, and some humour where it matters most, Karp is sure to impress series fans and has me wanting to explore some of his other solo work. Marshall Karp takes over sole writing responsibility on the NYPD Red series, after collaborating on the previous novels with James Patterson. Even if you've never read this series (maybe particularly), pick this up if you're in the mood for an adventurous Police Detective novel, I think you'll be glad you did. Chasing down the Killers on Demand will require astute abilities and a sense of commitment, though both detectives go through some significant personal roadblocks that they cannot ignore.

The same goes for the plot about Kylie's boyfriend and the shooting (and what that suggests about the ongoing story about her now-missing husband).Up to the point that Zach and Kylie really start to take the notion seriously this novel had the feel of a pretty by-the-book procedural.
