This is the fifth installment in the Womens Murder Club series. I enjoyed the first couple of novels and now I am reading them as I like the characters and I want to know what is going on in their lives. So it was good to catch up with Lindsay, Claire, Cindy and now Yuki.
As ever, personal tragedy affects one of the Club and the women all pull for each other. There are a number of threads or stories that run through the novel. One concerns a hospital malpractice and the court case that goes with it. This was pretty good although the ending seemed a bit rushed and weak. However the story in the telling was entertaining and maintained my interest.
The other part of the story that seemed to me to be unconnected concerned a couple of strange lovers who were killing escort girls. This story ended part the way through the novel and although it was quite interesting it too ended a bit abruptly.
Not as good as the earlier novels in the series.
7/10 for me.
