Volume 2 of the Women's Murder Club
box set contains three spell binding stories by James Patterson. The three novels in this audio collection are The 4th of July, The 5th Horseman, and The 6th Target. These are books 4-6 in Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. Volume 1 of the Women's Murder Club box set series contains audio editions of the first three Women's Murder Club books.
The members of the Women's Murder Club are Police Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer, San Francisco Chronicle Reporter Cindy Thomas, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano (who replaced Jill Bernhardt as a member of the team), and San Francisco Medical Examiner, Claire Washburn. Brought together by crime, these highly intelligent women have a knack to catching the bad guys, while at the same time dealing efficiently with all of life's normal quirks and foibles.
The 4th of July
In the fourth installment of the Women's Murder Club series Lt. Lindsay Boxer hunts for savage killers whose method resembles an unsolved case from her early career while also defending herself against police brutality charges.
The 5th Horseman

The 6th Target
When Claire Washburn is shot during a shooting spree, fellow Murder Club Member, Yuki Castellano sets out to insure that the shooter is convicted of the series of crimes he committed. At the same time, children from some of the wealthiest families are being abducted and their nannies murdered, but no ransom is ever demanded. It falls upon the members of the Women's Murder Club to get to the bottom of this and assorted other mysteries in the sixth instalment in this amazing series!
