This for me was two stories welded into one. The first one was more interesting but unfortunately it was a the smaller portion of the book. This concerned Lindsay Boxer the SFPD detective being sued by the parents of two young rich thugs who Lindsay had defended herself against. She had killed one and put the other one in a wheelchair. Lindsay had also been drinking at the time of the incident. The court scene and the moral dilemnas were really well done but this was over much too quickly.
The second story concerned Lindsay recovering from her injuries and living at her sisters summer home. She stumbles upon a series of murders in the little seaside town. This part was OK but not as strong as the other part of the story. It was a bit Lindsay on holiday but she can never get away from her job type of tale.
The Women's Murder Club were not really part of the story and felt very much bolted on although they do appear to have a new member.
A bit disappointing really after the first three novels in this series and too contrived.
7/10 for me.
