Summary: Disappointed work
Review: This book is disappointing at all. I have read several books from JP and enjoyed some, or many, of them. This one is too slow-paced and with no surprise at all. Alex Cross series is much more interesting. Don't try this one if JP is new to you. Or, borrow it from library like me. Invest your money on other books from JP.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too Easy to Figure Out
Review: This book was no surprise as far as thrillers are concerned. Once her dad popped up on the scene it was clear as day why he was there without any lengthy explanation.

I hope he gives up writing from a woman's point of view. Not even close. Jill announces she's going to have a baby while drinking with the girls in a bar? And later, intelligent Jill, pregnant, takes a fake beer to drink? Does not happen (water is choice here).

Phone battery dead, no backup, no telling anyone? Lieutenant? Way too sloppy for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As Good As 1st to Die! Very Engrossing!
Review: The sensational killings that have rocked San Francisco appear to be unrelated except in their brutality. Detective Lindsay Boxer senses that 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. But doing so, involves a lot of risks.

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

The partners in the Women's Murder Clun realize that the killer is after something unspeakable, something different than revenge, and that if their not careful, the next target will be one of them for sure.

Fast paced and exciting, you wonder what will happen next.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Second Chance is definately not second best!
Review: James Patterson recent book 2nd Chance surpasses the first. Even thought this book lacks the love story of the first it still manages to keep the reader on the edge of their seat throughout the entire novel. I enjoyed the suspense and excitement of the novel and I real felt like I connected with the characters, especially Aaron and CIndy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ladies hit the Bullseye again!
Review: The Idea of a ladies crime club isn't new but it has been improved on and I can't wait to read more and more.
I thought the Alex Cross books were great this seems to me could be just as good. Thank you for wonderful hours of sleepless nights.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Waste of time and money
Review: I'm not a lover of romantic women's fiction and Mr. Patterson seems to have watered down his style to a degree that it has more in common with Mills & Boone than the hard boiled police fiction that I enjoy. Either he isn't acquainted with any successful professional women or he's been reading too much Jilly Cooper. The heroine of the story, asked by her boss to keep a matter confidential, promptly calls up her friends (who include a newspaper reporter), for a kaffee klatch at which she reveals all. This is not the sort of behaviour that I regard as normal among women in responsible positions - nor do they go in for "giddy hugs". Write about men, Mr. Patterson, you know beans about women holding down significant jobs. This book is just plain silly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: U will get a 2nd chance to buy it but u should do so now
Review: You should read 1st to die first to get acquainted with Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club before starting on this one. In this book the killer is murdering victims who are extremely close to police officers.

Lindsay also has to struggle with issues with her father in this one. Maybe he's the killer? This isn't as good as 1st Chance but still is a good read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: excellent, love the girly club
Review: this book made me hope that mr. patterson continues to write about the women's club. the comraderie, all aspects of the crime (perspective: law, police, media) oh, i just love it. a must read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2nd Read
Review: The Women's Murder Club is back in action as a fatal shooting takes place at a church. Our four heroines, Lindsay, Cindy, Claire and Jill, are back and better than ever as they try to find a killer that leaves behind misleading clues. I actually liked this book better than the first one if that's possible.

This sequel, unlike many, doesn't forget who its characters are. In fact, this book goes even deeper into their complicated lives. Lindsey gets a surprise from her past, Jill and her husband try to have a baby, Cindy finds herself falling for the pastor of the church and Claire is still Claire; always there for her friends and family whenever they need her. I was very surprised by this book. Rarely are sequels better than the original (especially books), but this story comes across shining.

The mystery moves like a roller coaster ride weaving in and out of possibilities and dead ends that will leave you guessing who's behind all the slayings and why they're doing it. The story is more emotionally compelling this time around pushing you deeper into the lives of the four women and letting you get a look into their pasts and their uncertain futures. Lindsay's storyline with her father is especially moving and easily relatable to.

I'm really looking forward to the third chapter of The Women's Murder Club and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who liked or loved the original. It's scary, often touching and will leave you in awe of the author who wrote another incredible story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: TYPICAL PATTERSON
Review: I fly through JPs books in a day or two. He's great at getting you to the next chapter, but the formulas are so transparent and predictable you have a tough time remembering what you read. This second Women's Murder Club book is no exception. I love reading JP because the stories race, but afterward I can't remember much of what happened. Okay at best.
