James Patterson Women's Murders Club 23 の小説・ストーリー

Clara had tried to talk to James the night before, but he had brushed her off with a distracted, “I’m busy, Clara. Handle it.” He didn’t know that his son, barely twelve, was scrubbing floors, washing cars, and being broken bit by bit under the cruelty of the woman he once defended. But tonight, James’s world was fixed on only one mystery — the woman who wore his wife’s face. ********************* Two days later, fate struck again, not through James, but through Martha. It was a Saturday morning at the shopping mall. Martha was leaving the supermarket, her handbag hanging loosely on her arm, a small bag of groceries clutched to her chest.

“Check this out. He documented three nearly identical murders in that same area. 1914, 1951, and 1968. All with the same pattern—slit throats, no signs of entry, houses locked tight. There’s just enough time between them that nobody made the connection—except Anthony. He noted that he was keeping an eye out for a fourth.” She turned the journal toward us. The entries were detailed and clear—maps, names, dates, and disturbing consistencies. “And now here we are,” William said, nodding slowly. “No way one person could’ve pulled off murders that far apart in age,” I noted. “Exactly,” Alexandra agreed. “Alright. I’m in. But we’re not hitting the road tonight, right?” Alexandra gave a small shrug

"But you didn't let it go." "I dug deeper. Found three other women who'd dated Morrison. All dead. All 'accidents.' All looked like Maggie." I pulled out a photo that had haunted me for five years. "This is what I found in Morrison's safe deposit box after he died last year." Mills took the photo. His face went white. "Jesus Christ." It was a collection shot. Twelve women arranged in a grid like a yearbook page. All young, all beautiful, all with the same general look. At the bottom, in neat handwriting: "The Collection - Phase One Complete."

The questions. It didn’t. The marks on my palm stayed. Door #2. Soon. I stared at those words until the water ran cold. Until the steam cleared and I saw myself in the mirror. Not the same Jasmine who went to sleep at midnight. Not the girl who used to laugh too loud or forget her charger or eat cereal at 2 a.m. This Jasmine looked… hollow. Like she was waiting for something that might not ever come back. —

Standing beside Fiona. Or the woman using Fiona's face. The second photograph showed another man. Different city. Different year. Same woman. The third. The fourth. The fifth. Always the same pattern. Successful men. Money. Then disaster. Patricia felt cold. Very cold. "What happened to them?" Alison's answer barely rose above a whisper. "One committed suicide." Patricia froze. "Another disappeared." Her grip tightened. "The third lost everything." The room suddenly felt smaller. Hotter. Dangerous.

"I was born in this country. I'm as American as you and your brothers, but I'll always be a second-class citizen to the likes of you." I steal one of her tater tots because I'm cruel that way; I don't rise to the bait. "We have three white women heading deep into withdrawals. They're usually the ones who clean and every so often cook. They stay in a single-wide behind the clubhouse. Red's in charge of them until they're out of the woods or decide to leave and go back on the drugs." Her expression changes only slightly. "Those women never cleaned any part of that club and if you think they did, you're dumber than most Bubbas."

“Yeah, they are making a case that she killed two fully grown and the most powerful wolves at just 9 years old. The next page is a unofficial police report that had pictures of the blood marks on the wall. Do not ask questions because I will not tell you but King Thomas resides in the same bedroom the murders took place. With black lighting, we got pictures of all the blood that still stained the walls all these years later. The unofficial police report shows what took place first and how it would have happened based off the blood splatters.” “You’re right. I don’t need to know how you got this.” Kent let out a deep breath. “I have a team trying to find a way to clear Charlotte of these crim

running in the headlights, fleeing from me, thinking I am her enemy. I love you. And you left me... ----- Three days go by. We hear nothing. James and I return to the area, still searching. The police report finding a small building in the woods, a couple of miles from where we first saw the running women, but it is deserted. ----- James´ phone rings. He glances at the screen, frowning at an unfamiliar number. "Hello? Yes, I´m James Alexanders." A voice blarts at him over the line. James´ eyes widen, and he waves me over.

It was late, and the restaurant was already closed. "Let's go. There's food at the women's club." Eli pulled Stella towards the club. The women's club only allowed their members to enter. Eli applied for the membership, while Stella went to the bathroom. "Did you hear that Tony died? His body was dismembered into eight segments. The murderer was very cruel. He or she even cut off his dick and put it in his mouth. He was left in the public toilet," a woman said. "It's so terrible. Poor guy, he was so good-looking. I heard that his skills in bed was also excellent. Only a diamond member can ask for his service," another woman said.
