The murder of one person is a lame excuse to link the story of Yuki’s trial to the story of Boxer’s larger homicide investigation. As the title indicates, this is the 23rd installment in the Women’s Murder Club series, which shows not only the persistence of the authors but also their uncanny ability to keep churning out interesting stories featuring these dynamic characters.
Your payment method will be charged immediately, and the product is expected to ship on or around March 20, 2023. Another member of the Women’s Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, is prosecuting a difficult case involving the brutal beating of a woman by her husband. The plot is good, however there’s zero detective work and in the main the book lacks the he details and anticipation to suck me in. I adore police procedural novels but I thought this book blurred the lines far too much between reality and fiction.This was an exciting one and I was nervous throughout the second half thinking there could be a big shift in the "Murder Club". With the novel moving along at a nice pace, I was initially distracted by this storyline until Patterson and Paetro brilliantly tie it together with the Blackout narrative. Even the court case that Yuki was defending started off in what seemed like a one-sided expected outcome, but Patterson and Paetro found some ways to add in some worry and concern before the ending resolution. His friend’s company is being launched onto the market, but just before the bell rings a bullet flies through the air and finds its mark.
This year’s outing - “The 23rd Midnight”- has three primary plots – Lindsey’s police team’s hunt for a serial killer, Cindy’s troubled book tour, and Yuki’s courtroom case involving a battered wife.
Fifteen months ago, Detective Lindsay Boxer's life was perfect - with her beautiful baby daughter and doting husband, Joe, she felt nothing could go wrong. It is a chilling story that hits too close to home for Boxer and the rest of the women's murder club. Detective Lindsay must track this elusive suspect before the entire Murder Club faces complete destruction. Through the years I have come to actually care about the characters in his books and I feel like I have gotten to know the characters in this series pretty well.
Cindy Thomas, Crime Reporter, author and Lindsay's best friend and member of the Women's Murder Club, continued her book tour of the true crime she'd written about Burke, but people were dying in and around the tour venues. Our 23rd installment sees Cindy head off on her book tour, her true crime book on Evan Burke has hit the bestsellers listed gained the attention of a copycat killer.
Not only is the name creepy, he is following in the footsteps of the infamous and imprisoned serial killer Evan Burke. All four Murder Club members appear in this 23rd instalment and they all play a part in the plot (which has been missing for quite a few recent publications in the series). Patterson and Paetro played around enough with their established formula and structure to provide a better casual read. Key characters emerge as needed and provide the reader with something to enjoy, as they can trace their development throughout the book and series at large. It is only when Cindy is kidnapped by Blackout that Boxer and the SFPD realise just how serious things are getting.
