Women's Murder Club

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This NBC Event Movie is a very close adaption of a James Patterson novel of the same name following the police investigation of the "Bride and Groom" murders led by Det. Lindsay Boxer, a cop with major problems of her own. This is a very good adaption, featuring a strong performance by Tracey Pollan as Lindsay in a twisty mystery. The only problem is the mis-casting of Robert Patrick as Nicholas Jenks. The part called for a less intense personality.I had hoped for another film, adapting the second book in the series, 2nd Chances, but, the plot perhaps was too similar to recent tragic events and may have been passed over."

"This movie is a real sleeper. It is outstanding!
Just like all of Patterson's books. It is a true
mystery thriller. It keeps you on the edge of
your seat for the whole movie. It is really, really
good! You won't be disappointed. See it."
Well-done Sleeper

"I agree this film was a sleeper, constantly keeping the viewer guessing throughout an intricate plot. There were several conflicts to follow (two detectives who are former lovers, police investigation vs. persistent journalist, life-threatening blood disease of heroine, extremely clever murderer vs. an imposter, etc.). Another pleasure was the beautiful Seattle coastline."
