The Medical examiner by James Patterson

"The Medical examiner" by James Patterson -  Haste makes waste.
This book is published by Random House UK in 2017 and has 144 pages. This is Book 16.5 of Women's murder club series. It's a Bookshots book.

Medical examiner Claire Washburn receives two bodies,  a double murder. The female corpse comes to life. Cindy Thomas,  the reporter, gets the scent. Richard Conclin, her husband, investigates. 
How did the dead Jone Murphy come alive? Who is the other murdered man? Who wanted to kill them? What role will the Women's murder club play?

Homicide inspector Lindsy Boxer and her husband Joe are on vacation and only make a guest appearance at the end. 

The story had an interesting start. A corpse waking up in a morgue is promising. But the promise peters out. The story is uninteresting. There is hardly any investigation. There is hardly any thrill. There's, even, hardly any story. 

It appears that the author wanted to go through paces to complete the story and he just does that. If there is a murder,  the murder weapon and stash is found easily,  no investigation,  no search,  no deductions. The killer is also revealed just like that. Again no investigation,  no deduction,  no proof and no evidence. 

I wonder what exactly author wanted to do. Just for making the book readable in a single sitting (that's the idea of Bookshots),  author has lost its soul.

Why did I read this book? James Patterson 
What I didn't like?  No story. 
What did I like? Umm.... 
  
 Don't waste your time. AVOID.
