San Francisco is."An accused murderer called Kingfisher is about to go on trial for his life. Or is he? By unleashing unexpected violence on the lawyers, jurors, and police involved in the case, he has paralyzed the city. Detective Lindsay Boxer and the Women's Murder Club are caught in the eye of the storm.Now comes a courtroom shocker you will never see coming.I have to say that this is one of my favorite James Patterson series but I’m a little peeved that my one of my favorite people is being so hard headed. But at least she is not hard headed enough to completely throw Joe out of her life. I’m still holding out with great hope that things will be set just right between them.Kingfisher is a complete douche of a criminal and sometimes what you need to take down such a criminal is another criminal. One that is smarter. One that is maybe out for a little revenge? Like sharks in a tank with blood they go after each other. Will Kingfisher be the all-time winner, the big fish that eats all the others or will he finally be met with justice; one bite at a time? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Short Story *by M***N on October 13, 2016* I'm still on the fence when it comes to the concept of BookShots, the project spearheaded by very prolific author James Patterson. The intent, I've read, is to produce thrillers that sell for around $4.99 and are no longer than 150 pages. Some are standalones, while others are rooted in some of Patterson's popular series including Alex Cross and, like this one, the Women's Murder Club.My mugwump attitude isn't because I want to see the concept fail; in fact, as authors struggle to make anywhere near decent amounts for their writing efforts, I think it's a clever idea that has merit. The books are affordable and perfect, I'd think, for something to do while waiting in the doctor's office or catching a red-eye flight. But I've never been much of a short story fan - and when stripped down to the nitty gritty, that's pretty much what these are - so my personal enthusiasm isn't very high.For the record, I read one, a standalone titled "The Witnesses," back in July (it earned 4 stars from me as well). After I finished and had a better idea of how these books would play out, I first said that for me it would be one and done; later, I changed my mind and decided to someday try one involving my personal favorites just to test those waters. A few months later, I spotted this one, and away I went.As I already knew, it's way too short for my liking - I polished it off in just under an hour (actually, just 85% of the book is the actual story; the remainder is a four-chapter "special excerpt" of another BookShots entry featuring Detective Alex Cross). Besides that, any sort of balance among the four Women's Murder Club members (San Francisco Medical Examiner Claire, attorney Yuki, hot-shot crime reporter Cindy and Detective Lindsay) is pretty much nonexistent. While Lindsay usually takes the center front stage, the others typically get fairly strong supporting roles; but here, not so much - hardly at all, in fact.On the other hand, as short stories go, I have to say it's pretty good. As regular series readers already know, Lindsay and her husband Joe have separated, although they still love each other and share a love for their young daughter Julie. When club members gather for one of their regular restaurant meetups, Lindsay gets a phone call from her partner Rich, who tells her the notorious Mexican gangster dubbed the Kingfisher is back in town. That's especially disturbing since, as far as the police are concerned, he's dead.But surprise - he's not only very much alive, but apparently has committed two murders. He's then charged and is awaiting trial - a process that quickly goes to hell in a handbasket, turning the entire city upside down.Because it's so short, there's little more I can say without giving away too much (except that unlike a few other reviewers, I thought the ending was great). So for those who like a shorter format and Patterson's work, I'd say this one is worth a try. As for me, though, it's over and out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes the ending is just in God’shands *by K***N on May 15, 2024* An elaborate cast of characters from the Blue Line, Prosectors, and Notorious Bad guys. The Kingfisher has control over the city but SFPD had determination to change the scenario. With threats and promises of death, the cops stayed the course while protecting loved ones. But in the end, bad guys killed bad guys. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Trial: A BookShot: A Women's Murder Club Story (Women's Murder Club BookShots, 1) - Private: Gold (Bookshots) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/30400983-the-trial-a-bookshot-a-womens-murder-club-story-womens](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/30400983-the-trial-a-bookshot-a-womens-murder-club-story-womens) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
