A killer with rich taste
A rock star, a fashion designer, a software tycoon and a millionaire heiress. All glamorous, stunningly attractive, and incredibly rich. All dead. All murdered. All of them Detective Lindsay Boxer's problem.
But the frantic media attention on the case distracts from the murder of a local street hero. Only intrepid reporter Cindy Thomas, a member of the Women's Murder Club, is on the case. The victim was celebrated across the city. Who would want to kill him? Could the down-and-out Samaritan have been hiding a dark secret?
With tensions running high in their personal lives, will the Women's Murder Club be strong enough to crack these cases, or will the strain tear them apart?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mystery, mayhem and murder most foul abound in this eighth entry to Patterson's enduring mystery series. The four members of the Women's Murder Club are pulled into the investigation of three deaths: a homeless man called Bag Man Jesus, whose face has been mutilated, and a glamorous couple from San Francisco's upper elite, who are just as dead as Bag Man but whose bodies look untouched. With its shifting points of view and multiple characters, this audio book would be a daunting task for any narrator, but Carolyn McCormick is up for the challenge. The reader for several earlier Women's Murder Club novels, she renders the characters with ease. Although her vocal tone may verge on strident at times, her earnest delivery keeps the story moving briskly. A Little, Brown hardcover (Reviews, May 11).
