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?

Women's Murder Club series ROCKS!!

Where does The 9th Judgment rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say the entire Women's Murder Club series is top-knotch in my book.....The storylines are great, and the narration is PERFECTO!!

Which character – as performed by Carolyn McCormick – was your favorite?

Lindsey is my favorite, but she does a great job with ALL of them, as far as I'm concerned.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had the time, absolutely.

Any additional comments?

GREAT JOB!

Coming At You From All Sides!!

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

No, I very rarely listen to a book twice.

What did you like best about this story?

Sneaky Pete definitely, but also the way everyones lives were intertwined.

Have you listened to any of Carolyn McCormick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, no different than any other time.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I really liked it, but for those of you who can't take violence against children, I wouldn't recommend it.

Any additional comments?

One of my favorite in the series! 😁

Another Patterson home run!

I binged this because of the suspense. Thumbs up!
I would recommend this to anyone who loves the ID channel or a good mystery.

A great murder mystery after a few disappointments

The last few Women's Murder Series books were mediocre at best...finally, some time was spent on crafting an intersting story with suspense! Highly recommended!!!

Great story

Two interesting story lines with their own characters were developed and their connection was built and final resolution brought them together into a satisfying ending. Well done.
