This is the second in the Women’s Murder Club series and just as good as the first. I love this authors books when I want a fast read……the chapters are short and I fly through the books. I will be working my way through this series. ( )

Second book in the Women's Murder Club, and I'm still not completely sold on this series. As I write this, there are 22 books total, and I do not think I will make it through all of them. The crimes/mysteries are interesting with some nice twists and turns, but I just can't get over the fact that I do not care one ounce about any of these characters. Also, changing the main point of view through the four main characters more often would be a good addition. It's supposed to be about a group of women, but three of them are there for a total of maybe 20 pages in a 400 page book. That's not a group of women solving crimes, those are just side characters with no real purpose.

All in all, as much as I would like to say that I recommend this series, I can't fully get behind that statement. If you are already a James Patterson fan, then by all means read this series. If you are looking for a crime series with a strong female protagonist, I would recommend Marie Force, Christina Dodd, or Karin Slaughter for that. ( )

2nd Chance is the second book featuring the Women’s Murder Club, a group of professional ladies who meet and try to solve crimes. Sensational killings have rocked San Francisco and appear to be related only by their brutality. As the ladies try to solve the cases they find that the victims all have a relative in a particular profession and that one of them could be next. They set a trap for the killer but if they are wrong, the consequences will be lethal. Joy Stuart. ( )

Just finished this book. A definite page turner with some surprising twists. I think this woman's murder club series is a good one with great female characters. ( )

First words
Aaron Winslow would never forget the next few minutes. He recognized the terrifying sounds the instant they cracked through the night. His body went cold all over. He couldn't believe that someone was shooting a high-powered rifle in this neighborhood.

Quotations
You can't bring the dead back. You can't even make sense of why things happen. All you can do is the best you can to let the living believe their souls are at peace.
