"Exciting police thriller"
After solving a particularly gruesome homicide
investigation Detective Lindsay Boxer is promoted to
Lieutenant. Although she is grateful for the promotion, she
knows she would never have solved it without the help of
her three good friends: Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas,
medical examiner Claire Washburn, and Assistant District
Attorney Jill Bernhardt. This informal group, known as the
women's murder club, still meets from time to time as a
support cell for each other. When Lindsay starts another high profile homicide
investigation, being a member of the club becomes very
dangerous because the perpetrator marks some of them as his
victims. He also kills a young black girl in front of a
church, a older black woman in a laundry basement, and a
black police officer. The two dead black females are
related to police on the force. Lindsay and her superiors
conclude that the killer has a grudge against the force.
The only problem is they don't have a clue as to his
identity. New York Times best-selling author James Patterson
displays his talent with his latest police thriller 2nd
CHANCE. The female characters are at the top of their
profession and are in deserved positions of leadership that
will definitely appeal to the author's female fans. There
is enough action and chills in this work to keep the
author's male readers happy. All in all, this is a non-
sexist, one of a kind dynamic work. Harriet Klausner
