Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

“Tough-but-tender cop Lindsay Boxer” (People) leads the Women’s Murder Club in the high-profile murder investigation of a billionaire San Francisco couple. As enemies lurk in the shadows, will Cindy, Claire, Yuki, and Lindsay still be standing when the clock strikes midnight?
​
SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, and crime writer Cindy Thomas gather at one of San Francisco’s finest restaurants to celebrate exciting news: Cindy is getting married.
 
Before they can raise their glasses, there’s a disturbance in the restaurant. A woman has been assaulted.
 
Claire examines the victim. Lindsay makes an arrest. Yuki takes the case. Cindy covers it. 
 
The legal strategy is complicated by gaps in the plaintiff’s memory—and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing testimony.
 
As Yuki leads the prosecution, Lindsay chases down a high-society killer whose target practice may leave the Women’s Murder Club short a bridesmaid … or two.

This time the Murder Club shows split action. Yuki and Cindy in the courtroom and the police time hunting a killer killing a family. It has the usual girls’ get togethers. The court room drama includes a woman with multiple personality disorder. I was convinced that the result was fair. I had the sense it was just included as a nod to me too. The family murders were just weird. I have read all these books and this was entertaining but not totally engaging. Maybe the authors” are reaching the end of the line for this series.

This story was a good story but unfortunately the storyline is getting old. There have been so many stories written with the illegitimate child killing their parent. It was a no-brainer from the start. Did truly enjoy the short side story of the cyber crime. That is so real to today’s crimes. I would have loved to see a conclusion to the international police shut down the organization.

Another wonderful story by Maxine Paetro - ghost writer for James Patterson.

The plot is the Women's Murder Club are out celebrating an engagement at a restaurant when a blood curdling scream interrupts the festivities. They soon discover a young woman has been the victim of a violent assault.

The reasons why and the outcome can be found within its pages but you will just have to buy the book to find out for yourself.

A very good read with a nice surprising happy ending.

I really didn't like this book and the way it was written. I know it's from main character's perspective but this reads more like a high-schooler wrote it rather than the giant that is JP. Thin plot line to boot. Had this been my first encounter with a JP book, I would never have bought another. Wishing i could get a return on this.
