Summary: The Women's Murder Club Is Back
Review: In the second of the "Women's murder club" book series. Lindsay and company are back and facing a much different kind of killer then they faced in book one. This killer seems to be targeting families of S.F. police officers, the problem is they are all seeming racial in motivation. It's a race against time as the highly talented sniper killer stalks those that are linked to police officers in the S.F bay area.This book was not as entertaining as the first book "1st To Die" but it was nice to see the 'ol ladies gang back together again. I was not driven to turn the pages in this read partially due to the fact that there was just not a whole lot of suspense built up in my opinion. This seemed to be a rushed write and agree with one of the previous reviewers that this was not one of his best efforts but then again I've been spoiled by reading many of his other works that have kept me glued to my chair. Still this was a read that I would not avoid but would recommend that you borrow it from a friend or a local library.

Summary: 2ND CHANCE
Review: I have to say that I loved this book. I love to read mysteries, and I want to go into Law Enforcement after I graduate, so when I read mysteries I tend to rate them more then I do other books. I know that James Patterson has two series going at the moment, however I have only read the books containing the "murder club". I think this is one of the better mysteries I have read this year. I love it when upon finishing a book I haven't figured out all of the clues. I had no idea where this book was going to end, and it didn't end where I thought it would. I love to be surprised, and even more I love it when an ending isn't really an ending....like in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and the feeling of urgent need to know what is going to happen next. I just couldn't put this book down once I started it. I read it all in one day. The beginning is a little slow, but the book is worth the wait once you get into it. Enjoy!

Review: The plot is predictable and the storytelling lame. Do not waste your money on this book.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This what the first James Patterson book that I have read. I became interested in his work after seeing the tv made movie for his book "1st to Die." This book followed the same fast paced suspense presented in the movie. Join the girls as they try to track down a serial killer before his next strikes. Things get a little close to home as they start to become victims! Some people say that this book was predictable. While in some aspects it was predictable it was still full of surprises, so it was not a total give away. I like a mystery in which I can speculate "who done it" and this book gives that opportunity.

Summary: Rad the plot, not the mistakes
Review: Although not as well written as 1st to Die, this was a good book. While there were some mistakes, they did not detract from the plot as a while. Anyone who is used to reading mysteries knows there is always a twist. While the twist here was given away a little early, it was still interesting to find out how everything turned out.
I am looking forward to reading the next installment for the Women's Murder Club.

Summary: Serial killer, racial motives and a link to the police force
Review: This is the second book in the Lindsay Boxer series. Lindsay and her Women's Murder Club, a group of friends, find them selves dealing with what appears to be a serial murder that is racially motivated. The missing link turns out to be a mysterious connection to the police department, which opens up horrible possibilites. As they look into this series of murders, the situation seems to be spiraling out of control when the murderer targets one of them. Then Lindsay's missing father appears at a most inopportune time for Lindsay and she leans on her friends for support. The characters are fun, yet not quite fully fleshed out and some of their actions seem not quite what you would expect from educated, successful, professional women. This was a good story that brings back some interesting women with a lot of potential for future stories .

Summary: 2nd Chance
Review: To me it was simple writing, but this was my first James Patterson novel that a friend gave to me for my birthday. At first I thought that this was going to be just another mystery which you think that this person is the killer.
No that was not the case with this book, at first I got pissed because his chapters were only three pages long at the most, I was used to reading like 50 page chapters from the likes of Stephen King and Tom Clancy.
But 2nd Chance was a good novel, not great, but it was good.

Summary: Pat took his chance, well!
Review: I was beginning to doubt James Patterson was ever going to produce novels as good as Kiss the Girls, or Pop goes the Weasel. Four Blind Mice was almost ludicrous, and Roses are Red and Violets are Blue only barely made the cut. I didn't read 1st to Die before this, since it got sold out. So I picked up 2nd Chance and read. Finally, Mr. Patterson has hit the winning formula! Although, at a far glance, this book is horribly simple. No shocking turns or plot twists, just raw action. Luckily, the predictability didn't spoil the novel too much. Although I was rather dissapointed with the ending scene of Lindsay and Coombs, it was a pretty snappy read. Pick it up if you like crime novels, this is a pretty good one. Lavaix

Summary: fantabulous
Review: This book is amazing. I picked it up one night, housesitting, and could not put it down. I finished it in one sitting. Every time I thought I had the ending figured out, something would happen. There were millions of unexpected twists and turns. Despite some things another reviewer noticed as far as minute details which were wrong, the book was amazing.

Summary: Someone shoot the editor!
Review: I was cringing while reading this. The dedication is to a physician (one must assume a medical examiner) and, were I in her shoes, I'd ask to be removed from the dedication. The medical examiner in the book states that she did a residency in dermpath. Nope. No can do. There is no residency in DERMpath, only a one year fellowship following a four (or five) year straight pathology residency. (And the ME doesn't even mention her forensic fellowship.) Secondly, Lindsay and the medical examiner refer to a person as being hung (suicide, folks). Pictures are hung, people are hanged. How much did they pay this editor for not doing his/her job...??? It's insulting to the reader.
