Product Description:
When a little girl is shot on the steps of a San Francisco church, Detective Lindsay Boxer knows its time to reconvene the Womens Murder Club. Working with Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas, assistant D.A. Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner Claire Washburn, Lindsay tracks a mystifying killer who soon turns his pursuers into his victims. The unorthodox allegiances of the Womens Murder Club lead them to suspect the unexpectedthe killer may be an ex-cop. But nothing could prepare them for the demented logic behind his choice of victims. 2nd Chance is full of unexpected turns that could only have been created by the mind of James Patterson. This pageturning drama will enthrall his longtime readers and attract new ones to his latest bestselling series, the Womens Murder Club. 1st To Die, the first book in this series which was published in March 2001, became an immediate #1 bestseller with over 866,000 copies in print. A major feature film of Along Came a Spider recently reached theaters. The ABC miniseries of 1st To Die will air in Fall 2001.
Amazon.com Review:
2nd Chance reconvenes the Women's Murder Club, four friends (a detective, a reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner) who used their networking skills, feminine intuition, and professional wiles to solve a baffling series of murders in 1st to Die. This time, the murders of two African Americans, a little girl and an old woman, bear all the signs of a serial killer for Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to lieutenant of San Francisco's homicide squad. But there's an odd detail she finds even more disturbing: both victims were related to city cops. A symbol glimpsed at both murder scenes leads to a racist hate group, but the taunting killer strikes again and again, leaving deliberate clues and eluding the police ever more cleverly. In the meantime, each of the women has a personal stake at risk--and the killer knows who they are.
2nd Chance speeds along at a Formula One pace through many tight curves, but unlike recent entries in the Alex Cross series, it doesn't sacrifice good characters to a twisted plot. Lindsay's the star, but there's a fine esprit de corps among the four women, who are even better developed here than in the first book. What makes them both convincing and interesting as a criminal-justice juggernaut is their willingness to stick their necks out, even if they suffer for it. If you haven't picked up a James Patterson novel in a while, this is a great time to start anew. --Barrie Trinkle

I am absolutely loving this series! I look forward to when I have the time to read and once I pick it up it is so hard to put it down, I haven't enjoyed a series this much in a long time!

great book but need to read the entire series of books to get the most out of it.

Story was very cheesy and flimsy and the reading only made it worse. Very disappointing.

This review is of the audiobook version.
This is the second story in the series and follows on a couple of months after the shocking conclusion to the previous book. In this story Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to Lieutenant, finds herself investigating some race hate crimes. She discovers fairly quickly that the crimes are being committed by a person who is part of a specific white group with an identifying tattoo - but it proves very difficult to pin down exactly who he is. When he ... Read More

Yes, this book has a nice simple story line that makes you turn the pages. But, those pages are usually three-page snippets (called chapters) and the four women characters of the "club" are stereotyped middle-class working women. The protaganist, Lindsay Boxer is the last person in the world you would want to see heading up a homicide squad: emotional, impulsive and not very bright. The turning point for me was when she and her department buddies wanted to apply a little pressure to a suspected murderer ... Read More
