Book Reviews of 2nd Chance (Women's Murder Club, Bk 2)

This 2nd in the Women's Murder Club series was even more exciting then the first. This one makes things even more personal to the women. The twists and excitment make this book hard to put down!

I love this series! I got the book on Friday and finished it Saturday night! Could NOT put it down... Lindsay and her friends are great characters and this is a page turner every step of the way. Just when you think you have it figured out, you don't!

This series has an excellent premise, a flawed but appealing heroine, and crisp writing. Enjoying it tremendously.

The 2nd book featuring the Women Murder Club......very good read and full of suspense along with a look into the lives of the members of the club....You will be surprised by the ending....

This is the second book in the Women's Murder Club series. Well-written and dramatic -- if you like thriller fiction, not too gruesome, you'll enjoy this one.

Second book in the Women's Murder Club series. This is an excellent series.

GREAT BOOK, GREAT FOLLOW UP TO 1ST TO DIE

2nd Chance reconvenes the Women's Murder Club, four friends (a detective, a reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner) who used their networking skills, feminine intuition, and professional wiles to solve a baffling series of murders in 1st to Die. This time, the murders of two African Americans, a little girl and an old woman, bear all the signs of a serial killer for Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to lieutenant of San Francisco's homicide squad. But there's an odd detail she finds even more disturbing: both victims were related to city cops. A symbol glimpsed at both murder scenes leads to a racist hate group, but the taunting killer strikes again and again, leaving deliberate clues and eluding the police ever more cleverly. In the meantime, each of the women has a personal stake at risk--and the killer knows who they are.
2nd Chance speeds along at a Formula One pace through many tight curves, but unlike recent entries in the Alex Cross series, it doesn't sacrifice good characters to a twisted plot. Lindsay's the star, but there's a fine esprit de corps among the four women, who are even better developed here than in the first book. What makes them both convincing and interesting as a criminal-justice juggernaut is their willingness to stick their necks out, even if they suffer for it. If you haven't picked up a James Patterson novel in a while, this is a great time to start anew.

Great read!

Good follow up from the 1st book if you like the Women's murder club series. Gets more into the story of the main character and her father. Suspenseful, typical James Patterson book.

Great continuation of the series. Characters development was much better in this book than the first.

Obviously second in the series but no second class mystery/suspense here! This one gets more into Lindsay's background but also hits home with the other members of the murder club. It was a nice change of pace with plenty of action. With it being written by a man but such a great female lead, I'm truly amazed & hooked! Can't wait to read the next in the series!!

I just finished reading this book and I thought it was really good. It was better than the first book in this series. It has alot of twists and turns in the plot to keep you on your toes. There's also alot of action so the book is fast paced. I read this book in two days because I couldn't put it down. Will defineatly read the next book in the series.

Excellent story - intend to read all 7 of this series.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Can't wait to get hold of the 3rd book. This one had me "figuring it out" until the very end. Had trouble putting it down.

Wonderful book! I look forward to his next addition.

"2nd Chance" is a good book but it doesn't even compete with some of his other books like "1st to Die" and "Mary Mary". It was very suspenseful and it was defiantly a page turner. But there were a few things I didn't like about it. One thing was I didn't like how the girls just became "best friends." Friendships take time and you do not become that good of friends with someone in only a couple of months. Also I found Jill's miscarriage to be completely pointless and irrelevant. I am not even sure why James Patterson even put it in the book at all. It wasn't like that was a main concern of the last book or anything. It just kind of seemed like an incomplete thought that he just decided to throw into the book to take up some room. Also I know that James Patterson is know for his plot twists at the end of his books but this one seemed very unnecessary. I liked the first ending more than I liked the "real" ending.

Master of suspense James Patterson takes us into a terriying underworld with this second thrillerin his dazzling new Women's Murder Club series.

good story!

the women are at it again, its a great suprise ending.

Second book in the series, The whole series is great.

This is 2nd in Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. It's almost as good as the first one. I loved the characters enough though that it didn't matter.

From cover:
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.

Fantastic follow up to 1st To Die. Love the Lindsay Boxer series.

Fast read! Another good one! Kept you guessing!
