A young girl is killed in the crossfire after a routine arrest goes terribly wrong, and Lt. Lindsay Boxer has to defend herself against a charge of police brutality. In a landmark trial that transfixes the nation, Lindsay fights to save her career and her sanity. While awaiting trial, Lindsay escapes to the tranquility of the beautiful town of Half Moon Bay . But the peaceful community there is reeling from a string of unspeakable murders. Working with her friends in the Women's Murder Club, Lindsay finds a link between these killings and a case she worked on years before - an unsolved murder that has haunted her ever since. As summer comes into full swing, Lindsay battles for her life on two fronts: before a judge and jury as her trial comes to a climax and facing unknown adversaries who will do anything to keep her from the truth about the killings. It all comes to a head before the big annual 4th of July celebration on the waterfront at Half Moon Bay. "Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried. There's no stopping his imagination." -New York Times Book Review "Patterson's skill at building suspense is enviable." -Kansas City Star"When it comes to constructing a harrowing plot, author James Patterson can turn a screw all right."-New York Daily News

For someone who has never read a James Patterson novel before I read the first women's murder club novel I have to say I am hooked.
Book 4 didn't disappoint, more from the endearing Lyndsey Boxer and her friends - although in this book it was nice to see the format change a little as Lyndsay moved to the little town of Half Moon Bay and the girls features a little less in the storyline.
My only criticism of the book is it seemed that the initial storyline of Lyndsey shooting the two teens seemed to suggest it would be a big feature of the book and it actually petered out to very little consequence - I felt it could have been further brought back in at its conclusion.
Am I absolutely gripped by these books - absolutely and cannot wait to move into number 5. Compared to Dan Browns tedious Inferno this book actually was smoking hot
This was a pretty good book and had my interest the whole time. I was kept guessing about who the killers were. James Patterson never fails to keep things exciting.
