“Those who haven’t read any of the novels in the Women’s Murder Club series are cheating themselves.” —BookReporter

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.

Lindsey is involved with bringing a serial killer to trial with an explosive ending!

I like the partnership of the women on a case. But HATE losing a character that I really liked in previous books. It was a fast listen and ended too soon!

How much Lyndsy and her group are invested in their relationship no matter what.

I was glad to hear Martha was going to be okay, and Joe was also okay.

Great to have the team together again!

I think the writer jammed too much into the last 30 minutes. The Folsom prison scene was absurd. The intertwining of the 3 separate stories didn’t come together very well.

Not the usual twists and turns

This did not have the usual red herrings and twists and turns that the other Women’s Murder Club books have had, but I wish it had been longer. Narration was superb and is consistent with the other WMC characters.

Every round is gd

Ready for #26! Every adventure is always better than the last ! I wonder what number 27 will have in store
