James Patterson

The Women's Murder Club returns for another thrilling crime investigation. Will their skills be enough to take down a brutal madman? A brutal madman sprays bullets into a crowd of children leaving a San Francisco church. Miraculously-or was it intentionally?-only one person dies. Then an elderly black woman is hung. Police homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer senses a connection and together with medical examiner Claire, assistant D. A. Jill, and Chronicle reporter Cindy, finds a link that sends a chill through the entire nation. This killer's motives are unspeakable. In this "inventive" installment of the Women's Murder Club, James Patterson proves once again why he is the #1 master of the murder mystery (Sunday Times).

I love all James Patterson books but compared to the 1st book in the Women's Murder Club series it did not have the same excitement but still a good novel. I like hiw we got more glimpses in the other other 3 main character women's loves and the HUGE twist towards the end. I would recommend to someone starting out in thriller novels that want more than just gore while also getting the beautiful writing styles, which James Patterson delivers. Would recommend if reading the series. And definitely looking forward to continuing the world of Lt. Lindsay Boxer.

Ugh. I tried to give this series a shot because it's so popular but I don't think I can do it...the characters are so flat, the plot is completely formulaic and predictable, the dialogue is seriously lacking, and I just can't bring myself to care about the case or the victims. I find myself staring into space rather than reading because I am just so bored. There are much better mystery writers out there. I think I will move on from Patterson, he's just not for me.

Like the first book I enjoyed the characters, and the storyline was good, I like Lindsay as a character, and I enjoy how fast paced the book is

Once again Patterson had me fooled! I thought about half way through that I knew who the killer was but I was wrong. Though my original decision did turn out to be a not so great of a person so I guess I'll call that a win on my part!

I'm still not sure how I feel about mystery novels on a whole yet. I mean, I really like tv shows like Women's Murder Club, Rizzoli and Isles, Castle, even Law and Order, but as far as reading them goes... I just waffle on the whole subject. Some times I really like the book and I'm super into it. Other times I'm going "Gosh, why isn't this over yet!" I guess the beginnings are the hardest part. I want to know who the killer is, right now.

I really enjoyed getting to see inside the other women's lives this time around. I feel like I know Claire, Jill, and Cindy a bit better than I had in the last book. Seeing their personal lives and how they struggle with what's going on makes it a bit easier to understand them and their connection to Lindsay.

Personally, dealing with Lindsay's father issues (which come up around mid-novel mind you!) was a bit much for me. It's not something that I like to read about because I generally read to escape into another world so when I can connect that much with a characters life, I dislike the feeling of it. 

All-in-all it's a pretty okay book. It took me about three days to get through it which is much longer than it would normally take me to read my usual fantasy novels. I guess maybe I can't judge this fairly because it's not what I usually read?

I loved it... I didn't know if I was going to like it because sequels are usually not as good as the first book but it was soo good.

I am officially obsessed with reading this series. I did not think I would enjoy these books as much but I'm loving them. I can't wait to read more!

Brandie States

Another great book in the series! I enjoyed it very much. The pacing was great, and it was a super easy read! Great for a pallet cleanser if you need one. Lindsay Boxer is one of my favorite female characters, and I love Claire as well! Excited to continue this series, and I very much recommend you to read this if you haven't started it yet!
