17th Suspect is the seventeenth novel in the Women's Murder Club novel series[note 3] by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.

To make matters worse Lindsay begins feelings weak and fears an old illness that nearly killed her has come back.

The second plot involves another member of the Women's Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, an attorney with the district prosecutor's office.

The review concludes, "While THE 17th SUSPECT is complete in itself, it does leave an element of the book dangling treacherously at the conclusion.

Longtime readers of the series will recall that Patterson and Paetro are not averse to removing recurring characters from the mix with little warning, so whether they will “go there” is a consideration that is always on the table.
