Lt. Lindsay Boxer has faced the Bride and Groom Killer as well as Chimera so far on the job but when terrorists strike San Francisco it is a whole different ball game! The terrorists are demanding action for crimes against humanity by the political and economic head honchos of the global community. People start dropping like flies, about every 3 days - and one of these deaths hits close to home for the Women's Murder Club! Lindsay and the girls take the case and chase after the man in the wind known as August Spies. Will they stop whoever is doing this before the whole city come tumbling down?
I feel that this book takes a little bit more of an in-depth look at the lives of the ladies in the Women's Murder Club. You find out more of the back story for Claire and Jill especially. I also am pleased that small events and story lines from the first two books haven't been forgotten like sometimes happens in series. The characters still continue to grow and develop. Even though this series is told from the view of Lindsay Boxer it is nice to get to learn more about the other ladies and find out what makes them who they are and how they can do their jobs.
I also really like the narrator, Carolyn McCormick - so far this is the third narrator for this audio book series, but it looks like she is the narrator for all of the ones that are out so far after this one. She has a voice that won't put you to sleep and keeps you interested - great for when you are driving because I have found some that could easily induce a coma.
I would rank this book in 2nd place overall for the first three books in the series (my ranking: 1st to Die, 3rd Degree, and then 2nd Chance). I really enjoyed how the mystery was resolved. I think it also shows how easily people can be manipulated for a cause.
I am already halfway through 4th of July and enjoying it even more than I did this one. This series is definitely growing on me!
I am trying to read the series in the Women's Murder Club. I skipped a few and then found that I could order them on Amazon.com. I recommend the full series, James Patterson does a great job in that you never really know who the killer is until late in the book. The book was also received in great shape.
Excellent series of books. If you haven't yet read them, start at the beginning with "1st to Die". Patterson's Women's Murder Club series is great, and they're all very quick reads (with very short chapters).
I have to admit that I wasn't blown away with this one. It was a good solid story but it lacked the heart thumping action that the first two books had. The 4th brings back the action in full force!
In the first two books we are introduced to the Women's Murder Club, a group of four women that share many common interests and come together for fun, drinks, and when need be, to help solve crimes. When they are working together they have every imaginable angle covered and manage to solve the case everytime. In this book Lindsay is facing her toughest case yet, a terrorist group is targeting people in her city, and its getting personal.
Lindsay is out for a jog when a home she is admiring across the street blows up. She decides to go in and look for survivors, of which she finds a young boy. Everyone else in the home died, a family. When the organization that is committing the heinous crimes identifies itself as August Spies and starts making demands, the department of homeland security is called in to help out. This brings a foxy man that goes by the name Joe into the picture, and a nice little romance side story develops.
The Women's Murder Club finds themselves the targets of this radical group of terrorists and must work together to find the killers, before they kill hundreds of people.
