About This Audiobook

The twenty-first Women's Murder Club novel opens with a young mother disappearing with her infant, a case that turns criminal when evidence shifts the investigation toward her husband. Meanwhile, another investigation quietly running in the background reveals a threat that has been operating against women across California, and the two cases converge in ways that make the personal feel terrifyingly universal.

January LaVoy's long familiarity with this series gives her narration an ease that suits the novel's breakneck pacing. She knows Lindsay Boxer's voice deeply enough to make the hardened detective's moments of fear land with real weight, and the multiple storylines that define the Women's Murder Club format are kept clean and distinct throughout.
