Compelling Story though not always Understandable I chose 4 rather than 5 stars for several reasons: it earned at least 4 stars because of so much action - including shooting to kill - almost from the beginning of the book; however, it didn't get 5 stars because so many people were involved at the beginning that it was hard to get their names and how they fit in. What made if most difficult at the beginning is that the primary character, a young woman and homicide Sargent named Lindsay Conklin, spoke directly to the reader, making "I" statements, but the people she spoke with often didn't reciprocate and tell us her name! Lindsay has a baby at home along with a housekeeper during the day. Early on Lindsay realizes that inexplicably, she hasn't seen her husband Joe, whom she loves, for a few days, even tho often enough they work such different hours that they just meet briefly. When the days pass into a week and still Joe hasn't responded to any of Lindsay's texts or phone messages, she becomes very worried. She and we readers begin to what's going on: was their marriage a farce or is he get killed or imprisoned? Thankfully, this book had short chapters, so I had a chance to breathe and momentarily relax. Even though I couldn't always understand or picture exactly what was happening or why I relished reading this. Occasionally there were also some really good sentences; for example "Muller was watching me like a cat at the window that's spotted a bird".He lost his wedding band The 15th book in the series dedicated "to friends of the Women's Murder Club" keeps Lindsay busy with work. There are homicides to be solved, airline disasters to be dealt with, missing persons to be found, crying babies to be hushed and all that while there is a serious problem on the domestic front. Isn't this a perfect time for the club members to come to the aid of one another? We hardly hear of them! Well, there is the tequila drinking lawyer, the always busy pathologist, the journalist with the clunker and assorted police we know from before - now the scene expands considerably beyond San Francisco. Lindsay has multiple problems all over and they sort of all go together. Not exactly a clear ending despite red roses. Too many problems, too many turns, too many almost leads.but she's now turning into a pathetic ghost of herself Sgt. Boxer is giving me a headache. She's morphing into this insecure, whinny character who frets over everything. I get that she is becoming a complex character with getting married, having a child, etc etc, but she's now turning into a pathetic ghost of herself. Jimmy boy needs to have her "man up" more. Get back to that gritty, strong, smart woman she used to be.
