Still working my way through a complete re-read of the Women’s Murder Club before starting the latest, 9th Judgment, and for the Women’s Murder Club Challenge.

Book 3 is a pageturner from the very beginning, and becomes one of the most prominent books of the series as major plot points occur in this book that effect the rest of the series.

Lindsey begins to think her friend Jill is having problems in her marriage when some unexplained bruising shows up, but before she can really find out the truth, a bomb goes off in a nearby building and Lindsey puts her life in danger to try and save any people inside.

All roads lead to destruction and disaster when a missing baby leads her team to a nanny service and the truth of Jill’s marriage finally comes out. While Jill suffers, Lindsey finds herself suddenly drawn to a homeland security officer who pushes her limits on romantic relationships.

I loved book 3, but I love the series more. It just keeps getting better and better, plus the introduction of Joe is amazing.

I like the Women's Murder Club books. Is this really the last one? I thought there were more.

This book was a little headache-y, but I really liked it. I finished it in one day, and it had the appropriate twists and turns to it. Very enjoyable.

I read the 2nd and 3rd books in this series because we read the first for a book club, and I purchased all three in a bundle. They are quick reads, and a decent choice for those looking to try a police procedural novel. They feature women though at some moments it is clear they were written by men. I didn't mind them, though they are not my favorite series overall.

In this book one of the four major characters meets her demise and tragically, for me reading this series anyway, she is my favorite. I will likely not be reading any more of the series but it is more because of the fact that I have way too many books on my to-read list rather than because I wouldn't enjoy it.

The cases are explosive but the love interests haven't been believable for me.
