YOUR BEST FRIEND, OR A VICIOUS KILLER? YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL THE 11TH HOUR
Lindsay Boxer is pregnant at last! But her work doesn't slow for a second. When millionaire Chaz Smith is mercilessly gunned down, she discovers that the murder weapon is linked to the deaths of four of San Francisco's most untouchable criminals. And it was taken from her own department's evidence locker. Anyone could be the killer—even her closest friends.
Lindsay is called next to the most bizarre crime scene she's ever seen: two bodiless heads elaborately displayed in the garden of a world-famous actor. Another head is unearthed in the garden, and Lindsay realizes that the ground could hide hundreds of victims.
A reporter launches a series of vicious articles about the cases and Lindsay's personal life is laid bare. But this time she has no one to turn to—especially not Joe. 11TH HOUR is the most shocking, most emotional, and most thrilling Women's Murder Club novel ever.

I was really excited about Murder Club 11, I thought with Lindsay now being pregnant we'd get to see a softer side to our SFPD cop. Instead we got a book that seemed to go nowhere.
It was nice to see a return to the format of two cases focused around police work with no courtroom dramas. The two police cases though were a little weak in this book. A case of a rogue cop shooting drug dealers and one about two severed heads turning up in a movie stars garden. They promised excitement but in all honesty the cases were pretty suburban. The rogue cop case was pretty dull overall and the severed head story promised intrigue and glamour and instead it was just a little odd.
Throughout the book we rarely have Lindsay's pregnancy referred to, only when Patterson remembers is it brought back in for it then to be moved on from and we lose a story which could have been so good.
Overall a pretty weak instalment of the series.
These books are always good. I love reading about the various relationships that are evolving with each book. The crimes stories are always riveting making the books hard to put down. In this book detective Boxer is pregnant so that adds to the tension as she continues to go out in the field to investigate and track down dangerous criminals. She also has some trouble on the home front and her cartwheeling hormones are not helping.
