Women’s Murder Club Technically Realistic, Personally Not

If only Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum could switch places with James Patterson’s Lindsay Boxer (Angie Harmon). While Plum must vent her love life troubles through every quirky case she works, Lindsay Boxer’s love life seems to coincide with her cases. When Boxer has a bad date, the entire police station – and several suspects – seems to line up at her doorstep, making the crime drama seem glib. On the other hand, the show has a solid premise, as a cop, a reporter, an assistant D.A and an examiner all intersect to solve mysteries together as frequently as girl’s night out. The show seems so focused on Boxer as opposed to her more-interesting partners that it suffers. The Women’s Murder Club airs on ABC Fridays at 8:00.
