Reviews:
stephanie (USA: MA) (2008/05/12): lindsay faces some heat in this book. especially when one of her friends are targeted. Cindy W (Canada) (2011/07/29): 4/5 stars.
Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer is walking past as a house explodes. She gets a boy out of the house, but three other people are dead. There was a note left nearby... And, more killings to come. Meanwhile, her good friend, Jill, is dealing with an abusive husband.
I think this is my favourite in the Women's Murder Club series so far. And my favourite by James Patterson, so far. He writes short chapters and I just wanted to keep reading. It was a very fast read and it drew me in right away. cranberyjlj (USA: TN) (2013/01/09): I really enjoyed this book.........
