When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt.
And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies--but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death.
And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

— Lana, 10/30/2013" Stock womens' murder club novel...not great, not ungreat...just there. "
— Cdh0061, 10/24/2013" This one was all right. There were three different story lines that didn't really jive, but I think they were just trying to give all of the characters something to do. Not a bad way to waste a few hours, but if you only read a few books a year...this shouldn't be one of them! "
— Katie, 9/21/2013" Love the "Women's Murder Club" series - books are great but when I watch the TV movies I am disappointed because it can't hold a candle to the books themselves. "
— Joanne, 9/20/2013" First Line: "A killer in waiting, Fred Brinkley slumps in the blue-upholstered banquette on the top deck of the ferry." "

— Laurie, 6/15/2012" Very quick read. Revolves around little kids being kidnapped and no ransom asked. They just disappear. Concurrent there is a killer loose who is mentally ill. I will not let the cat out of the bag, but you could read this book in an afternoon. Not much depth, but good summer read. "

— Judy, 1/30/2012" Not sure I will finish this series out. The further you get the more unbelieveable the storylines get. I am moving on to something else sorry Lindsey, Claire, Cindy and Uki (sp ?), I listened to the audio. "
— Anne, 1/18/2012" Meh, not that good "

— Shawn, 6/26/2011" These books in this series continue their with momentum. I love this series so much. This book was fast paced and had many plots. Some of the characters were a little creepy. In the end the good guy wins or at least that is what they lead you to believe. "
— Jannene, 5/14/2011" Very good book as well. "
— Angel, 5/3/2011" Several rich & famous, healthy people have died for no apparent reason. It has to be murder because perfectly healthy people don't just die. "

— Stefani, 4/13/2011" Good book with lots of different story lines which all come together in the end like usual. I enjoy the women's mystery club as it is great to have girlfriends to talk to about all your problems. I thought there was a lot more sex and love in this book than usual but that was OK. "
— Sue, 4/13/2011" A nice parallel of the mystery of a string of deaths of very rich folks and the death of a homeless saint. In this novel, more interpersonal complications ensue for Boxer, Cindy, and Yukio. Fast paced and hard to put down. "
