Unlucky 13 by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.
Latest inWomen's Murder Club series. Not a big fan of this one, it was like 3 plot lines competing instead of working together.
1. The Belly Bomber (I could not take this name seriously even for a second)
2. Yuki's honeymoon (Pirates in Alaska! And never fully developed or explained why they took over the boat)
3. Cindy vs. Morales (because local reporters are way better investigators than the FBI)
Since I finished it, I'll give it 3 stars, but I'm feeling generous.

Book #27 in 2014 (Audio)
The 60 Second Procrastinator by Jeff Davidson.
No run time given, but it was pretty short, only 2 CDs.
Lots of good tips for beating procrastination. I've notice an uptick in my productivity while I've been listening to this in the car. When I get home, I jump right into a task. Maybe I need a permanent loop of this playing in my life.
4 stars because it actually helped me. Nothing new under the sun here, but a nice compilation.

Book #26 in 2014
Invisible by James Patterson and David Ellis.
FBI research analyst Emmy Dockery is the only one who believes her sister's death is a fire wasn't accidental, but murder. Spoiler alert: turns out to be a serial killer.
Fast moving mystery, more like the Patterson of the old days. I would have added another half a star if the killer's identity didn't feel a little gimmicky.
4 stars.
