NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority

Product Information

The Literary Guild did not review this book, but made a positive comment, saying it was "suspenseful, thrilling, and a classic Patterson page-turner.

Starting with NYPD RED: THE MURDER SORORITY, Marshall became the sole author of the series, which features Detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan as members of an elite police task force dedicated to solving crimes committed against, and sometimes by, New York City's rich and famous. The Kappa Omega Delta (Killers on Demand) troll the city and fulfil needed hits, while secreting themselves away from the eyes of the authorities. I thought the novel was stronger than the first two in the series and I'm tempted to go back and see where the series started improving. I went into this book with apprehensions—I dropped this series after two books and while I don't remember being opposed to coming back, I sure wasn't in a hurry to.Each night, the city’s people get to see film stars arrive in limos at the premieres and walk on red carpets. But, as time passes by, they solve this problem too, and go on to cherish each other’s company as lovers very much. They were being methodical, beating the bushes, checking off the things they needed to—and that's the kind of thing I really appreciate seeing in detective novels.

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. Marshall Karp nails the core of a gritty on-the-streets crime thriller that couples authentic police procedural elements with an unremitting pace filled with crafty and ingenious twists and turns. 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.

And as I said before, if you accept the world of this series, the outlandish nature of the KOD works well. Publishers and self-published authors: Please read our Submissions page for more information about general submissions and our Sponsored Book Review Program.

The transition jarred me a bit, but not so much that it took me out of the book—but it reminded me what kind of book I was reading. His audiobook narrations have earned three AudioFile Earphones Awards, and he was a finalist for the Audie Award for Best Fiction Narration in 2015. Overall, Karp delivered a tight thriller read that provided a very entertaining escape for two or three evenings. Three more murders take place in the same manner in different parts of the city one after the other.The plot twists and story arcs presented keep the reader engaged and ready to learn more, stopped only by the limitations of Karp’s ability to publish future pieces. Readers will agree that his happy welding of police procedural and sly humor is the best yet in the series. 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. This is a fun read—I raced through it because Karp's writing and pacing wouldn't let me put it down until I had to. I really enjoyed the pacing of this series with short chapters and mini cliffhangers after each one.
