A nightmare everyone worries about when checking in for surgery—there are always risks—but even people with minor procedures are expiring under suspicious circumstances. Unfortunately, while Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer and Yuki Castellano—Lindsay's lawyer-turned-best friend—are having lunch, Yuki's mother, Keiko, collapses and gets rushed to that same hospital. While Keiko undergoes tests, Lindsay investigates several bizarre murders of young girls left posed in luxury cars. Bodies pile up in the hospital and out while the girls in the murder club help Yuki cope and support each other. This one is entertaining with lots of action but lacks any significant surprises. I can't believe I keep listening to this series. No spoilers - it's just that this is a very negative review. I downloaded a bunch of these from the library to listen to while I do some mindless tasks - that's my only excuse. Any way, Lindsay Boxer has to be the worst cop in the world. She thumps around, breaking every kind of proper police procedure, with the subtle personality of angry wolverine. Jacobi isn't any better. The deep passionate love that the "Club" has for each other is weird. As another reviewer mentioned, women don't act like that. Also, actual, factual things, things that can be researched are wrong. Do not trust anything that happens in a courtroom. Oh, well, I have a lot of weeding to do, so I guess I'll finish with my "hate listening". It's always good for a laugh. no reviews | add a review

All in all, just don't with these books. If you've read his books before and actually enjoy them, then sure, go ahead and read the entire 22 book series. I still own #6 and #9 and I'm going to read them because they're on my shelf then I am done. I can't handle the ridiculousness of these books. Instead, read Riley Sager, Tana French, Christina Dodd, Ruth Ware, or Karin Slaughter. ( )
