Publisher's summary

“Tough-but-tender cop Lindsay Boxer” (People) leads the Women’s Murder Club in the high-profile murder investigation of a billionaire San Francisco couple. As enemies lurk in the shadows, will Cindy, Claire, Yuki, and Lindsay still be standing when the clock strikes midnight?

SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, and crime writer Cindy Thomas gather at one of San Francisco’s finest restaurants to celebrate exciting news: Cindy is getting married.

Before they can raise their glasses, there’s a disturbance in the restaurant. A woman has been assaulted.

Claire examines the victim. Lindsay makes an arrest. Yuki takes the case. Cindy covers it.

The legal strategy is complicated by gaps in the plaintiff’s memory—and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing testimony.

As Yuki leads the prosecution, Lindsay chases down a high-society killer whose target practice may leave the Women’s Murder Club short a bridesmaid … or two.

The Story

Another fantastic Women's Murder Club book. I wish I didn't have to wait a whole year for the next one.

All fluff, no filler

Fans of this series will enjoy all the interactions of our favorite characters. That said, the story is so lame. It goes back-and-forth between three different investigations and doesn’t devote enough time to any of them. Aside from a few advancements in character development, this is one you could easily skip.

Happy suspense

I love the fact that each plot no matter how many twist and turn it has keeps me in suspense till almost the very end of the book. I also like the fact that there has always been a little ray of sunshine with a happy ending at the end of each book. I look forward to reading More books in this series.

The Ladies Murder Club does it again.

Lindsey, Clair, Yuki & Cindy are at a restaurant to celebrate Claire’s birthday when a call for help leads them into one of their most difficult cases to date. 6 months later at the trial Yuki must prove that rape and aggravated assault occurred when the victim is handicapped by a mental illness. In the meantime Lindsey is trying to solve the murders of a married couple 6 months apart. The ongoing investigation and trial lead to an interesting and entertaining story. This book 📕 is rated 4 ⭐️s. This is the 24th book of this series and I still thoroughly enjoy reading them. The stories differ and includes all members of the club. I recommend this to those who enjoy a cozy mystery/thriller. I know I look forward to book twenty five!

A bit of a decline in the series

I love love love the series, but I can’t help feeling that it’s getting tired. For me, this particular book just didn’t flow and felt like it was rushed. Dont get me wrong, buy it and read it, but it just didn’t have the excitement that the past 21 books had. The last few books were lacking in my opinion.

Just okay

Typical of many long-running series, 24 lacks the fast-paced story and clever twists. It’s a beach or airplane listen, at best.
