Book Description:
The sensational killings that have rocked San Francisco appear to be unrelated except in their brutality. But detective Lindsay Boxer senses there's some thread connecting them all. She calls her friends in the Women's Murder Club together to see if they can discover what it is. Surely some clue has been overlooked by their bosses and male colleagues.

Working with Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas, Assistant District Attorney Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner Claire Washburn, Lindsay discovers that there is indeed a link. The victims were of different ages, lived in different locations, and were killed with different weapons. But each had a close relative in a particular profession, a profession that sends a chill through Lindsay's heart.

The partners in the Women's Murder Club realize that this killer is after something unspeakable, something deeper than revenge, and that the next target could be one of them. They deduce where the killer is likely to strike next and bait a trap that can't be resisted. But if their calculation is wrong, the consequences will be lethal. And there will be no second chance.

From the back cover:
The Women's Murder Club is back! A brilliantly diabolical killer is murdering people from every walk of life. The deaths seem unrelated but 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.

Quick Read full, of suspense, love the fact that the chapters are short for easy reading while doing other tasks.. ie: the dr office, waiting for someone....

I started reading this book over the weekend and before I knew it I was done. It was a great page turner with an excellent twist at the end. Another great one by James Patterson.

Another awesome Womens Murder Club Mystery. The short chapters make the books awesome, and so easy to read. They books are impossible to put down the way it is. James Patterson has created a series for women about some amazing women.

This series is incredible! I didn't think I would enjoy Patterson, but I was pleasantly surprised by his style of writing. He writes female characters so well - and the main character in this novel is so complex. 2nd Chance was a great follow-up to First to Die and left me wanting to read on.

This being the second book in the series, James Patterson does a good job of taking threads from the first book and tying them into the second book. It progressed fast like most of his books do and did a good job of keeping the reader involved. I liked how he has a main crime that the main characters are trying to solve but also there is usually a back story also that makes the book interesting and allows you to get to the know the characters a little bit more each book that you read.

The Women's Murder Club is back. James Patterson writes a good mystery and the Murder Club is one of his better charactors, the 4 women who work together to solve crimes. I'm sure you'll enjoy this book

Second in the Lindsay Boxer series that was made into the TV series, "Woman's Murder Club."

A brilliantly diabolical killer is murdering people from every walk of life. The deaths seem unrelated but 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.

Excellent read!!

Good Book as is the next one too. Liked the 4 of July a little better as there are two different kinds of stories going on at the same time.
