It looks like James Patterson has fobbed this series off on a "co-author." Disappointing. The plot has almost exactly the same structure as "1st to Die," in the style of "We definitely have the killer! The case is airtight! Except... we don't have the killer and the case is full of holes."Lt. Lindsay Boxer also suffers not one but TWO acute attacks of Lois Lane Syndrome and charges into dangerous situations with the sort of recklessness only a fictional character who obviously must survive to co...
The second installment if the series has some horrific intro crimes that really get the reader's attention... an attention that is soon lost as we are consumed with the personal and professional lives of the Club as the set out to find a madman! The series itself, despite being choc full of cliches and tropes, the core concept of a number of women from different professions and backgrounds working together to solve murders is still all kinds of cool!
"2nd Chance" by James Patterson is the second in the Women's Murder Club series. Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first one (1st to Die) I had high expectations for this.In the usual James Patterson style the story starts off with full on action and emotion and continues through the whole book at a fast pace, tension and twists abound with a final turn in the story I really hadn't thought of. Nice short chapters keep you reading 'just one more' until you realise you've nearly finished the
"5" for entertaining plot, "1" for stereotyping the women...The "Women's Murder Club" is back from Patterson's (solo) "1st to Die" -- three professional women friends of our leading lady, San Francisco Homicide Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer. Except for no sex, this book is a cross between "Sex and the City" and John Sandford's "... Prey" series about detectives against serial killers. But unlike the TV show, neither Patterson nor co-author Andrew Gross seem to have a clue about how women think, act,
Another good read in the women's murder club series! It seems fun to read these in order, they are quick and engaging reads so far.This one wasn't quite as good as the first - I think JP wrote #1 by himself and this was co-authored. Maybe that explains it.The team is chasing a motivated serial killer - but is he racist or does he hate cops, or both? I enjoyed the chase but had some questions about the killer at the end, like how did he get so good at those shots? Maybe he had been military and I...
This series and others by Patterson are my go-to when I want to read, but am tired and struggling to focus. But they are the perfect key to getting out of a reading slump. The Women's Murder Club is at it again when there are a handful of murders targeting the families of police officers. Lindsay and the rest of the murder club must spring into action to avoid becoming the latest victim. This one seems nearly unsolvable -- will the Club get it in time before one of their own is hurt? This is a f...
I usually read James Patterson books as a guilty pleasure and quick read, interspersed between "good" reads. I tend to prefer the Alex Cross books, but I recently received the 3rd book in the Women's Murder Club series, and decided I should probably read the first two. I'm kind of disappointed that I did, because I'm beginning to find these books tiresome and recycled, and even sort of irritating. I really don't consider myself a book snob, and I can usually find some enjoyment in any book I fin...
Chapter 1I drove up to the library in my black Miata. Walking in, I thought, "Hell, I deserve a book, I've had a rough couple of days." I searched the shelves looking for books on my list...nothing. I sighed. Oh but what did I see? A James Patterson, I couldn't wait to tell the girls. I grabbed it and went to check out. The clerk told me I owed a fine; I exhaled. I must have gotten distracted from returning books before - when I was on the job of my lifetime that catapulted me into the spotlight...
The Women’s Murder Club is back. This time they’re after a racially motivated serial killer. Lindsay once again is proving to be at the top of her game as lead detective on the case. That is, of course, with the help and support of her close friends, Jill, Claire and Cindy. Quick, suspenseful read that I didn’t want to put down. I’m so glad I finally started this series that has been on my list for so long. Looking forward to book 3!
I thought this one was really good. The killer was very unexpected.
