This book has two stories within one. The original story I was not super crazy about. It was good and gave more character building along with a new girl to the Women's Murder Club, but the second story gave me whiplash from all the twists and turns. I enjoyed this story more than the last two but still didn't give me the shock and awe of the first. Nonetheless, it was a great read with a shocking, but a little rushed, ending. Now to the fifth book! Recommended!!!

Wow. That was amaaaazing!

This is most definitely my favorite of this series so far! I had my suspicions about who the killers were and this time I actually had one right! My other two were wrong, but I hit one dead on the head so that made me feel complete. Definitely a twisted ending for sure!

I really enjoyed all of the court room things as well. Quite a fascinating little roll of happenings. This book started off in high gear and just went on from there! It was fast paced, I didn't feel like the writer was just stringing me along to up the word count, as I had in some of the previous entries in this run.

Again I wish there was MORE of the other women besides Lindsay but I did quite enjoy the addition of Yuki to the fold, she's quite enjoyable! I even found Jacobi more likeable this time around and that's saying something!

If you were like me and you trudged along through the first three books wondering where it was going... this is where it all begins! I hope Patterson keeps up this quality of writing for the rest of the series!

I don't know why, but this one gave me the chills. Probably because of the stalker aspect.

In a late-night showdown, Detective Lindsay Boxer has to make an instantaneous decision: in self-defence she fires her weapon - and sets off a chain of events that leaves a police force disgraced, a city divided and a family destroyed. Now everything she's worked for her entire life hinges on the decision of twelve jurors. To escape the media circus, Lindsay retreats to the picturesque town of Half Moon Bay. Soon after, a string of grisly murders punches through the community. There are no witnesses; there is no pattern. But a key detail reminds Lindsay of an unsolved murder she worked on years ago. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay and her friends in the Women's Murder Club battle for her life on two fronts: in court and against a ruthless killer.
