Smart characters, shocking twists' Lisa Gardner'Lots of clever links in the breakneck plot' Cork Evening Echo'This crime drama races along in short, action-packed chapters' My Weekly______________The Sunday Times bestsellerA city in flames and a trail gone cold . There have been some definite ebbs and flows to the series though nothing is as refreshing as seeing a strong novel in the series.LIES: Lindsay Boxer's estranged father is gunned down execution-style, and her investigation uncovers life-altering truths. I feel like everything that happened is something I’ve already seen or read somewhere else and the writing was clunky. Detective Lindsay must track this elusive suspect before the entire Murder Club faces complete destruction. It's hard to review a series written by a master storyteller and not repeat concepts or say something original. It is a chilling story that hits too close to home for Boxer and the rest of the women's murder club.

As San Francisco's most glamorous millionaires mingle at the party of the year, someone is watching--waiting for a chance to take vengeance on Isa and Ethan Bailey, the city's most celebrated couple.

In The 23rd Midnight a copycat serial killer "Blackout" is targeting individuals during Cindy's True Crime book tour. When that same individual is later found dead in his own vehicle via a silencer to the head, Cindy clearly gets the message that she is on the killer’s radar. While Lindsey and the crew are chasing the elusive killer, Cindy disappears, now everyone realizes that they are working against the clock to stop a madman and find Cindy before she becomes his next victim. While CIndy refuses to stand down, the killings continue and Blackout begins a deadly game of cat and mouse with Boxer and the others. Lindsay realizes that the only way to stay ahead of Blackout and figure out what his intentions are is to involve Burke, who is now on death row.

While Yuki is sure that this is a slam dunk, the accused tells a story of depravity committed against him and how he was out of his head. She is on a book tour when she realizes she is being followed by someone who is killing at each stop on her tour. Also, Cindy has been playing a key role in authoring Burke’s life story and going on a publicity tour. A big thank you to Random House UK, Cornerstone, Century for the opportunity to read and review this book.He is not only obsessed with the killer Cindy wrote about, but he is also using the book as a guide, with embellishments of his own. Something’s got to give as the case (and Cindy’s kidnapping) come to a head in this electric tale of crime, murder, and the connection of the core four.
