About This Audiobook

The fourth Women's Murder Club novel puts Lindsay Boxer on trial for a fatal shooting that occurred during a domestic disturbance, stripping her of her badge and sending her to a coastal town where new murders begin accumulating. The novel operates on two tracks, the courtroom drama where Lindsay's career hangs in the balance and an active case that echoes an unsolved crime from her early years, and both threads pull toward the same dark history.

Carolyn McCormick navigates the courtroom tension and the investigative thriller with equal facility, her voice lending a procedural credibility to both. The legal proceedings benefit from her measured delivery, which never overplays the emotional stakes, and the crime sequences have the efficient urgency that McCormick has made a signature of her Patterson narrations.
