I would like to thank Netgalley and Random House UK， Cornerstone for an advance copy of 21st Birthday， the twenty first novel to feature San Francisco’s Women’s Murder Club。Kathleen Wyatt is distraught over the disappearance of her daughter， Tara and granddaughter， Lorrie and contacts reporter Cindy Thomas。 Cindy， believing her story contacts Sergeant Lindsay Boxer of SFPD。 Tara’s husband， Lucas Burke， on the other hand， think Tara is acting out。 When bodies are found Lindsay and Cindy get toget I would like to thank Netgalley and Random House UK， Cornerstone for an advance copy of 21st Birthday， the twenty first novel to feature San Francisco’s Women’s Murder Club。Kathleen Wyatt is distraught over the disappearance of her daughter， Tara and granddaughter， Lorrie and contacts reporter Cindy Thomas。 Cindy， believing her story contacts Sergeant Lindsay Boxer of SFPD。 Tara’s husband， Lucas Burke， on the other hand， think Tara is acting out。 When bodies are found Lindsay and Cindy get together with medical examiner， Claire Washburn and assistant DA， Yuki Castellano to investigate the murder and some outlandish claims Lucas Burke is making。I enjoyed 21st Birthday which is a plot driven novel with all the requisite twists and turns。 It is told mostly from Lindsay in the first person and Cindy in the third’s points of view。 This shift is interesting in that it offers more perspective， but I don’t think the first person narrative adds much intimacy， as is often the case。 Probably because characterisation isn’t a strong suit in this series and is more intended to support the plot than be explored。The plot is suitably engrossing and basically comes down to the question of who to believe with two characters offering conflicting stories。 I’m not sure that this is fully resolved by the end of the novel and the reader is left to draw their own conclusions。 I haven’t。 The novel is comprised of the investigation and a courtroom drama where Yuki tries the case。 This latter is tension filled and the reader rides the doubt alongside her。 It isn’t particularly credible as it’s superficial but I think that is by design， to keep the reader hooked and involved。 If this is the case it works well。 The investigation is similarly superficial， fixating on a single suspect from the start， until the big twist and it’s a cracker。21st Birthday is an entertaining read that I have no hesitation in recommending。 。。。more
