review 1: (Mystery 2013) Women's Murder Club series Sometimes a series hits a rough spot when the author is keeping writing to meet a goal rather than focused on telling the story. I think we may be there. There were plot advancements, but the book seemed a bit detached from the Women, who are currently fighting their personal battles separately rather than drawing on the deep bonds between them. The book was still a fun read, but something is missing. Hopefully this will be corrected in the next book, as I am nowhere near done with the series. (I did read the whole book, just picked the wrong frontpiece picture and can't figure out how to change it. o.0 )
review 2: Goodreads didn't have the whole book, but I read it and was disappointed overall. I have always loved ... morethis series, but the last two books weren't up to snuff. While all of the ladies have story lines, they are not really connected and they don't draw on each other as they have in novels past. Boxer has her baby, which adds a new twist. When the baby gets sick, she doesn't mention it to Claire, the doctor (albeit a medical examiner). Similarly, Boxer is one of the last to find out when Richie and Cindy have drama in their relationship. In fact, Cindy's role is minimal in the book and everybody's doing their own thing. There are only two Murder Club meetings at Susie's I can recall and they don't serve the Murder Club theme. The male characters words and actions are totally out of character for the roles they've served in the past. It's a decent read if you haven't read any of the other books in the series, but very disappointing if you've watched the ladies evolve over the years. less
