My Bookish Life Book Review: 2nd Chance

Ttitle: 2nd Chance Author: James Patterson
Genre: fiction/crime Pages: 390
Rating: 3 stars

Synopsis: The sensational killings that have rocked San Francisco appear to be unrelated except in their brutality. But detective Lindsey Boxer senses there is 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 . Surely some clue has been over looked by their bosses and male colleagues.

   Working with the Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas, Assistant District Attorney Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner Claire Washburn, Lindsey discovers there is indeed a link. The victims were of different ages, lived in different locations , and were killed with different weapons. But each had a close relative of a particular precession, a profession that sends a chill through Lindseys heart.

My Review: I thought the story was ok. I mean it wasn't the best book I've read this month but it was ok. This is only the second book I've read in the Women's Murder Club series and so far I do like it.

   Some of the story was a little predictable. However, the ending caught me off guard which I liked. I also liked the pacing of the story.

    I do want to check out the next book in the series sometime so there is that. All of the reasons stated above is why I'm giving the book 3 stars. It only scored that low because of some of it being predictable.

          Reading Update:
  I'm about half way through Doctor Sleep by Stephen King . I'm hoping to have a review up for it by the end of the month.  I don't think I'm going to be able to finish my TBR for this month but that's ok . Since it's my birthday month I'm not pressuring myself and the unfinished books can go on next months TBR. I think it will only be two that I couldn't get to anyway so I think I done good!

         That's it for this update! If you have read the book please leave your thoughts in the comments section. Also if you like my content please follow my blog. That's it for this update I hope you all have a nice afternoon . Will talk to you all more later!
