Unlucky 13 follows each member of the women’s murder club as
they deal with their own encounters with criminals.
LINDSAY BOXER – Lindsay is dealing with some of the most
gruesome crime scenes that she has seen yet. Someone is placing capsules in
food that react with stomach acid causing an explosion within the victim. They
die instantly as their insides are blown out. She and her partner Conklin
follow different leads that take them to a hamburger joint.
With the bad guy asking for more money each time a bomb goes
off and setting off bombs with greater frequency, Lindsay and Conklin have to
work quick to discover who is behind it before more innocent people have to
die.
YUKI – Happy and in love, Yuki gets married to Brady.
Everything is going great until they depart on their honeymoon. All too quickly
it becomes a matter of life or death when their boat is taken over by madmen
who kill an innocent passenger for every hour that goes by without them getting
paid.
CINDY – Mackie Morales has resurfaced, and Cindy sees this
as the story of a lifetime. She takes a tip that Lindsay gives her by mistake
and she runs with it, tracking Mackie halfway across the country. By the time
Cindy arrives and notifies local authorities, Mackie is already back on the
move. Once she discovers that Cindy is on her tail, she decides that it is
finally time to get her revenge on Lindsay for being the reason her love Mr.
Fish died. Will Cindy be able to warn Lindsay before her life is at stake?
This one was a little different from the others in the
series. I, and presumably most other fans, am used to the group working
together to figure out a case. This time, they all had their own to worry about.
The only exception was Claire. She was helping with the “Belly Bomb” case that
Lindsay was assigned to because it was taking place in her area.
That being said, it was almost like it was 3 times the
thrill. It was three different storylines that all intertwined and affected
each party differently.
It lacked the intensity that some of the other books have,
but it did not take away from the entertainment of reading it.
I expected to read a little more about Lindsay’s life as a
new mom, but I guess I will have to wait for #14. There was too much going on
in this one for her to settle down and have time at home.
I can’t believe I have to wait another year for the next
one!
