Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

“Those who haven’t read any of the novels in the Women’s Murder Club series are cheating themselves” (BookReporter). Sergeant Lindsay Boxer, medical examiner Claire Washburn, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, and crime reporter Cindy Thomas investigate the shocking murder of a former SFPD chief in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. 
 
SFPD homicide detective Lindsay Boxer knows her way around a crime scene.
 
But nothing can prepare her for the shock of recognition: the victim is Warren Jacobi, Lindsay’s onetime partner who rose to chief of police. 
 
A top investigator until the end, Jacobi managed to leave Lindsay a clue. 
 
Following a trail of evidence along the west coast, the Women’s Murder Club pledges to avenge Jacobi’s death before the killer can take another one of their own.

The book was okay at best. There are scenes that are unexplained and coonfusing as to why they were even included. This is the second time for Maxine that a killer confesses rather than having the murder club actually solve it. The opening scene is intriguing, but the ending doesnt quite sync with the confession. Lots of luck solved the mystery and I don't call that good mystery/thriller writing!

This is a compelling addition to the series and adds emotional turmoil as well as riveting suspense. Lindsay is chasing down a serial killer that targeted her former partner, Yuki is prosecuting a cartel member and Cindy wants the story even if she puts her life on the line. The action is non-stop and the pace is fast and totally engaging. All opinions expressed are my own.

Started out strong and interesting. However it ended much too quickly and weak. Not his best writing.
