Publisher's summary

During an intimate dinner party, a cat burglar breaks into the home of A-list actor Marcus Dowling. When his wife walks in on the thief, the situation quickly teeters out of control, leaving an empty safe and a lifeless body.

The same night, a woman and her infant child are ruthlessly gunned down in an abandoned garage. The killer hasn't left a shred of evidence, except for a foreboding and cryptic message: WCF, the letters written in blood-red letters.

With two elusive criminals on the loose, Detective Lindsay Boxer calls on the Women's Murder Club to help her stop them before they continue their spree. But before they can break either case, the Lipstick Killer changes his act and demands a ransom--not for a single victim, but for all of San Francisco. Lindsay puts her own life on the line--but will it be enough to save the city from this deranged killer?

I've Read All the Women's Murder Club Series

Would you listen to The 9th Judgment again? Why?

Some day

What did you like best about this story?

Patterson's cop characters; what can I say that hasn't already been said.

What about Carolyn McCormick’s performance did you like?

I listened to them in all a few short months. Good having the same voice. Carolyn was great!

Any additional comments?

There are many good reasons why Patter is the world's best selling author. I can't wait for the next Alex Cross as well.

Excellent!

Love James Patterson books! As usual it was a page turner. Was hoping they found out why he was killing but as long as they stopped him, that's alright with me!

Loved It!

This was an excellent plot, with a surprising twist. I tried to pace myself, but I was done listening in no time at all.
