Review by SpeekNDaTruuf
The Women's Murder Club has returned! After reading the first installment, 1st To Die, and unsuccessfully searching for 2nd Chance, the second installment in the series, I happened upon the third book, 3rd Degree. And, once again, I was impressed with Patterson's writing. So, let's just reintroduce the club members, shall we?
Lindsay Boxer. Homicide Lieutenant for the San Francisco Police Department. Claire Washburn. Medical Examiner. Cindy Thomas. Crime Reporter for the local newspaper, The Chronicle. Jill Bernhardt. Assistant District Attorney.
On a "clear, calm, lazy April morning," Boxer is jogging through the streets of San Francisco, her border collie, Sweet Martha, trailing behind. Taking a minute break, she admires the town house across the street. "Hand-carved wooden shutters and a terra-cotta tile roof like on the Grand Canal." Suddenly, the town house explodes before eyes, and Boxer, seemingly always on duty, rushes into the fiery furnace.
With the exception of a small boy, there's not much to recover at the scene of the crime. But wait. What is that neatly perched against the fire hydrant in front of the town house? A small backpack! And, as we all know, backpacks can often hold clues, right? Well, there's a clue here thus beginning yet another tedious investigation for Detective Lindsay Boxer. With the help of her friends, the women of the murder club, Boxer sets out to crack what just may be her hardest (physically, mentally and emotionally) case yet!
Of course, I loved the interaction of the women. I think I stated that in a previous review. But not to be outdone, Patterson does include male characters who help with the fleshing out of the club members. There are more than the ones I am about to mention, but these were my favorite male characters.
Joe Molinari. Director of Homeland Security. Roger Lemouz. Lance Hart Professor of Romance Languages. And of course "August Spies," the killer.
Again, for creating such a mentally intriguing novel (not to mention a way to spend a great deal of time), I have awarded James Patterson's 3rd Degree THREE AND A HALF stars.
Summary of 3rd Degree (The Women's Murder Club)
The Women's Murder Club returns in a shockingly suspenseful thriller. Plunging into a burning town house, Detective Lindsay Boxer discovers three dead bodies...and a mysterious message at the scene. When more corpses turn up, Lindsay asks her friends Claire Washburn of the medical examiner's office, Assistant D.A. Jill Bernhardt, and San Francisco Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to help her find a murderer who vows to kill every three days. Even more terrifying, he has targeted one of the four friends.
