From Kobo:
A brutal madman sprays bullets into a crowd of children leaving a San Francisco church. Miraculously-or was it intentionally?-only one person dies. Then an elderly black woman is hung. Police homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer senses a connection and together with medical examiner Claire, assistant D. A. Jill, and Chronicle reporter Cindy, finds a link that sends a chill through the entire nation. This killer's motives are unspeakable.
My Review:
Lindsey Boxer has been promoted to lieutenant. Her first
case back seems to be an apparent drive by on choir children. Soon it is
discovered that the only murdered victim was not an accident. When things escalate
and everyone is at a lost of whom the murderer could be the Women’s Murder Club
come together once again.
Fast paced and interesting 2nd Chance keeps you
engaged from the very beginning. No moment for things to become dull in this
novel. The murder is, of course, central stage but there are a couple of
subplots that keep the story moving forward. The killer in the novel, who calls
himself the Chimera, is quite disturbing. There is one particular scene in the
book that involves pictures of several lynchings that illustrated just how sick
the killer is. If you haven’t read this yet and you are a fan of detective,
crime, murder mystery novels this should be added to you tbr.
