Summary: A Solid Crime Novel ¿ Great Characters
Comment: 2nd Chance is the best James Patterson I've read in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised, particularly after reading Four Blind Mice which I did not like at all (given a Two Star review).
The four female characters are interesting and varied. Lindsay Boxer is a homicide detective and is the main character; the other three are Cindy (journalist), Claire (medical examiner) and Jill (Assistant DA). I liked the fact that all the women seemed nice and friendly, it always annoys me when women in powerful jobs are portrayed as cold hearted b*****s. Obviously it seems rather too convenient that these four should be best friends as well as top professionals in their respective areas but it made for interesting reading.
The plot is good and there are some generally creepy moments. For example, when Lindsey goes into a maximum-security jail I could really feel her fear and trepidation. The camaraderie of the women was done well and not put over-the-top, they all came across as being strong but not hardened.
Overall the book is very good with believable characters and a good balance between the murder cases and the characters personal relationships. I'm looking forward to going back and reading 1st to Die and then 3rd Degree when it is released later this year.

Summary: 2ND CHANCE
Comment: I have to say that I loved this book. I love to read mysteries, and I want to go into Law Enforcement after I graduate, so when I read mysteries I tend to rate them more then I do other books. I know that James Patterson has two series going at the moment, however I have only read the books containing the "murder club". I think this is one of the better mysteries I have read this year. I love it when upon finishing a book I haven't figured out all of the clues. I had no idea where this book was going to end, and it didn't end where I thought it would. I love to be surprised, and even more I love it when an ending isn't really an ending....like in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and the feeling of urgent need to know what is going to happen next. I just couldn't put this book down once I started it. I read it all in one day. The beginning is a little slow, but the book is worth the wait once you get into it. Enjoy!
