One of James Patterson's best loved heroines is about to die. Detective Lindsay Boxer is jogging along a beautiful San Francisco street when a fiery explosion rips through the neighborhood. A town house owned by an Internet millionaire is immediately engulfed in flames, and when Lindsay plunges inside to search for survivors, she finds three people dead. An infant who lived in the house cannot be found - and a mysterious message at the scene leaves Lindsay and the San Francisco Police Department completely baffled. Then a prominent businessman is found murdered under bizarre circumstances, with another mysterious message left behind by the killer. Lindsay asks her friends Claire Washburn of the medical examiner's office, Assistant D.A. Jill Bernhardt, and Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to help her figure out who is committing these murders-and why they are intent on killing someone every three days. Even more terrifying, the killer has targeted one of the four friends who call themselves the Women's Murder Club. Which one will it be? While the investigation rages furiously, Lindsay works very closely with a federal officer assigned to the case.
At the same time, she learns that one member of the Women's Murder Club is hiding a secret so dangerous and unbelievable that it could destroy them all.

This is 3rd in the series and I really enjoyed this book. I'm enjoying these styles of books, I normally read fantasy, and I just love how these books are moving along. Overall I am really pleased with the first three books in the series. I can't wait to read the fourth one.

Another very quick read. This one deals with murders committed in the name of social conscience and involves a G8 summit in it's climax. Riveting and suspenseful I galloped through it. The short chapters were occasionally irritating as it almost seemed that they were trying to make it look like there was more in the book, so it's actually quite a short book but the twists and turns had me gasping for breath. I wouldn't be surprised if this series turns into a film series.
Although it did keep me riveted and I learnt more about the women involved there were times when I wanted more, it left me feeling vaguely unsatisfied.

Like the rest of Patterson’s books, this was a very quick read. He really is the master of short chapters and large print. But, it entertained me for the 5 hours or so it took me to read it, so I really can’t complain.
