Sinossi
La villa e il meraviglioso parco che la circonda sono considerati tra gli esempi più spettacolari di edilizia residenziale di San Francisco, tappa fissa dei tour della città. Il proprietario è una star di Hollywood, noto playboy, nel cui passato si nasconde un mistero: l’improvvisa scomparsa della moglie, avvenuta dieci anni prima. L’uomo è uscito pulito dalle indagini, ma l’ombra del sospetto è rimasta sospesa su di lui. Come potrà spiegare, ora, le due teste di donna rinvenute nel patio della sua villa circondate di fiori, in una macabra messinscena? Soprattutto perché l’orrore non si ferma: nel giardino vengono ritrovate altre teste sepolte. Chi erano quelle donne? Chi le ha uccise? Mentre la stampa impazzisce, ventilando le ipotesi più incredibili, la detective Lindsay Boxer, benché aspetti un bambino, lavora senza tregua per venire a capo dell’enigma, aiutata dalle amiche del Club Omicidi, in particolare dall’anatomopatologa Claire Washburn, determinata a dare un’identità alle vittime. E non è l’unico enigma che Lindsay deve risolvere. Un giustiziere misterioso ha infatti deciso di sterminare gli spacciatori della città, usando armi sottratte dal deposito in cui la polizia conserva le prove. Quindi l’assassino porta per forza il distintivo... Ma chi è, dei colleghi di Lindsay? Forse qualcuno molto vicino a lei…

Do you remember Lindsay Boxer, the SFPD homicide detective? JAMES PATTERSON: Sorta, she’s a character Leggi tutto

I have pretty much given up on James Patterson. I still enjoy his Alex Cross -- the only series that he hasn't farmed out to lesser talent. I have also stayed with the Woman's Murder Club series. This might be a function of release date as much as anything else. This late spring annual audiobook entry Leggi tutto
Oh my! I was hoping she would have the baby by the end of this book. Now I just have to move on to 12 right now hoping she does. Once again love the characters and the multiple crime plots! Some relationship drama in this one also. I will move on the 12 now. I love these books because you can easily Leggi tutto
Women's Murder Club, book No. 11 sees the main two story arc centred around a possible vigilante cop and the discovery of a skulls in the grounds of a millionaire mansion. Supporting arcs have Boxer pregnant and also been annoyed by a tabloid journalist. An average read. 5 out of 12.
I've read all of the Women's Murder Club books. This one was kind of blah. Lindsay Boxer is pregnant and she and her husband don't communicate well at all. He doesn't tell her about going out with a former colleague. She doesn't ask him questions, just overreacts way too much. It got on my nerves. R Leggi tutto
***WARNING*** There are some spoilers in here for those of you who are not caught up on this series or don't want the who-dunits spoiled. I enjoyed this installment of the Women's Murder Club series more than the past couple, though there was a few things I had issues with, such as Lindsay's pregnanc Leggi tutto
