About This Audiobook

The third Women's Murder Club entry begins with a burning house in San Francisco where three people are already dead and a baby is missing. When a message at the scene ties this crime to a series that will continue every three days, Lindsay and her friends find themselves in a race where the clock is both literal and personal, as the killer signals he has targeted one of the four women themselves.

Carolyn McCormick brings the procedural urgency that defines this entry into sharp relief, her steady voice anchoring the escalating stakes. The short-chapter format accelerates naturally in audio, and McCormick understands that the series runs on momentum, keeping each episode punchy without sacrificing the emotional texture that makes Lindsay more than a plot engine.
