Average Rating: Rating: - Okay ROSES ARE RED, being my favorite book of Patterson's, has somehow spoiled me. I expect all of his work to live up to that. And while 2ND CHANCE is good, it's not his best effort. The story, in a nutshell: The sensational killings that have rocked San Francisco appear to be unrelated except in their brutality. Detective Lindsay Boxer senses that there's some thread connecting them all. She calls her friends in the Women's Murder Club together to see if they can discover what it is. But doing so, involves a lot of risksThe story itself was great, and definitely showcases Patterson's ability to write murder mysteries. However, there were a couple of things that threw me off. First, something I noticed in the prequel, is that while Patterson is great when writing from the perspective of a male, such as with his Alex Cross novels, he is really horrible at a female narrative. There were some female bonding scenes that were so corny that I wanted to puke. My second complaint could be considered more a matter of opinion. There was a romance between the female reporter and the minister of the church where the first shooting occurred. Although a sexual relationship was never described in detail, it was definitely hinted at. Patterson made this minister out to be so perfect, yet any minister who really was perfect would never enter into a sexual relationship before marriage. I do not know if Patterson did this out of ignorance or if he did realize this conflict and this is why he avoided a detailed sex scene but still left it open to interpretation. Would like to recommend Patterson's ROSES ARE RED and a book titled THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD (very funny, suspensful, and well-written) for those looking for a great summer read. Rating: - 2nd Read The Women's Murder Club is back in action as a fatal shooting takes place at a church. Our four heroines, Lindsay, Cindy, Claire and Jill, are back and better than ever as they try to find a killer that leaves behind misleading clues. I actually liked this book better than the first one if that's possible. This sequel, unlike many, doesn't forget who its characters are. In fact, this book goes even deeper into their complicated lives. Lindsey gets a surprise from her past, Jill and her husband try to have a baby, Cindy finds herself falling for the pastor of the church and Claire is still Claire; always there for her friends and family whenever they need her. I was very surprised by this book. Rarely are sequels better than the original (especially books), but this story comes across shining. The mystery moves like a roller coaster ride weaving in and out of possibilities and dead ends that will leave you guessing who's behind all the slayings and why they're doing it. The story is more emotionally compelling this time around pushing you deeper into the lives of the four women and letting you get a look into their pasts and their uncertain futures. Lindsay's storyline with her father is especially moving and easily relatable to. I'm really looking forward to the third chapter of The Women's Murder Club and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who liked or loved the original. It's scary, often touching and will leave you in awe of the author who wrote another incredible story. Rating: - No, thank you This is a feminist novel through and through. I 've never aspired to be one and anyone who is makes me very irritable. Get off your man hating horse, ladies. Story is not bad but female circle thing ruins it for me completely.
