Review of 2nd Chance - James Patterson

This book is the sequel to 1st to Die which ended with the heroine, San Francisco cop Lindsey Boxer, in despair at the death of her lover and on the verge of suicide. If you’ve read the first book you know what the Women’s Murder Club is, for those who haven’t it’s a group of Lindsey’s friends who are loosely connected to crime (a DA, a journalist, a medical examiner) who share their thoughts on Lindsey’s case as an aid to solving it. It’s an interesting ...
...crime at hand. Lindsey uses them again to solve the current case, which begins with a seemingly random killing. As the murders progress however it gradually becomes clear that they are all linked. It’s very difficult to write about any book to balance one’s opinion on how it’s written and give readers an idea of the storyline without giving the whole plot away, which I don’t want to do. With this book it’s particularly difficult because the plot ...

Review of 2nd Chance - James Patterson

This is yet again another great book from James Patterson. It makes a change to have a woman as the main character and I think that makes the book more appealing to female readers and also a bit more believable!? This is the follow up to 1st To Die where you were first introduced to Lindsay Boxer. Lindsay, is San Francisco's only female homicide detective and she makes her comeback in this explosive follow up in the Murder Club Series. After the ...

A series of further murders makes them all think that this is an police person, the clues ...

Review of 2nd Chance - James Patterson

Here's the second Women's Murder Club mystery (after the splendid 1st to Die). Let's get this out of the way up front: there may be a co-writer listed on the cover - Gross has apparently worked with Patterson before, as a researcher - but you won't find any sign of him inside. From start to finish, the book reads like pure Patterson. I suspect the co-author credit was a last-minute addition to the book: the uncorrected galley circulated for review ...
...has only Patterson's name; the copyright page mentions only Patterson; and, on the back cover, Gross's name doesn't appear anywhere. All right, enough of that. Let's talk about the book. Well, the premise of this series is rather implausible: San Francisco homicide detective Lindsay Boxer gets together with her friends - a newspaper reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner - to solve the cases that her own police department ...

Review of 2nd Chance - James Patterson

2nd Chance by James Patterson This is the second novel by James Patterson and co written with Andrew Gross involving the Women’s Murder Club. The first book ended with Lindsay in despair over the death of her lover and the illness that was trying to kill her. But Lindsay Boxer is back as the first Women Lieutenant of the San Francisco Homicide Squad. The novel opens with a shooting at a church in a predominantly black area of San Francisco killing ...
...the serial killer but it is the first of note to the Homicide Squad. There is a killer on the loose who wants to kill black cops or those involved with black cops. The storyline is involved and I didn’t want to put it down. This gives you an inside into Lindsay’s personal life and a better understanding of her personality and how she grew up with a father who left her mother when he was needed most and how when her father comes back into her life ...
