Tokybook Reviews: Another Thrilling Investigation by the Women’s Murder Club
In the latest installment of the “Women’s Murder Club” series, “22 Seconds,” James Patterson and Maxine Paetro deliver another intriguing and challenging case for Sergeant Lindsay Boxer and her colleagues. Dubbed the “tough-but-tender cop” by People magazine, Lindsay leads the high-profile murder investigation of a billionaire couple in San Francisco while facing enemies lurking in the shadows.
The story begins as Lindsay, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano, and crime writer Cindy Thomas gather at one of San Francisco’s finest restaurants to celebrate exciting news: Cindy is getting married. However, before they can raise their glasses, an assault takes place right in the restaurant. Claire examines the victim, Lindsay makes an arrest, Yuki takes the case, and Cindy covers it.
The legal strategy becomes complicated by gaps in the plaintiff’s memory and the shocking reason behind her ever-changing testimony. As Yuki leads the prosecution, Lindsay chases down a high-society killer whose target practice may leave the Women’s Murder Club short a bridesmaid or two.
As always, Patterson and Paetro create an intricate plot, combining thrilling twists with complex personal relationships. The interactions among the club members—their friendship and support for one another—remain at the heart of the story, providing an admirable balance to the dramatic turns.
