Sergeant Lindsay Boxer's friend and former partner is brutally murdered in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. SFPD homicide detective Lindsay Boxer knows her way around a crime scene. But nothing can prepare her for the shock of recognition: the victim is Warren Jacobi, Lindsay's former partner who rose to chief of police. A top detective until the end, Jacobi managed to leave Lindsay a clue. Following a trail of evidence along the west coast, the Women's Murder Club pledges to avenge Jacobi's death before the killer can take another one of their own.

What this means
Unique evidence records that remain after filtering and deduplication. The larger evidence-signal total shown below can be higher because one retained record may support several separate facts or observations.

What this means
Separate reviews, forums, interviews, or conversations, with duplicates kept from inflating the total.

What this means
Different platforms and publications represented in the research behind this page.
What this means
Performance evidence that can actually describe how this narrator sounds or performs this recording. Identity records, narrator biographies, sample links, and awards are useful context but do not count here on their own.
Supporting sources 3
What this means
Sources tied to the audiobook recording itself, such as verified product or catalog records that help resolve narrator, runtime, format, release information, or stable recording identifiers.
What this means
The most recent date this page’s saved evidence picture was refreshed and checked.
A larger evidence pool gives us more to work with, but volume alone does not make a conclusion stronger. Relevance and independence still matter.
Narrator Experience

How we build this section

Evidence behind this section
Counts describe support for this narrator/recording, not a quality score.Why we describe the performance this way
We use evidence tied specifically to this recording. Repeated observations across independent sources carry more weight than isolated comments. Narrator background and career recognition can add useful context, but they do not determine how this performance is described.

Reader Themes
How themes are identified
Public response is sparse and unevenly matched, but the usable material points toward a complex, violent crime story. The strongest specific reservation concerns the conclusion, which one reader felt moved too quickly through several complicated resolutions.
Evidence sources for these themes
Based on themes repeated across 39 independent discussions and 13 source networks.
Where Readers Agree
The strongest agreement centers on violence and scientific detail. The leading theme appears across 5 independent discussions and 5 source networks, which makes it more than a one-off reaction. Complexity also recurs as a meaningful secondary part of the response.
The strongest theme is independently supported across 5 discussions and 5 source networks.

Our Take
25 Alive appears best suited to readers who already enjoy the brisk, crime-focused world of the Women's Murder Club. The available response suggests a busy mystery with several strands to track, alongside violence and some scientific detail. The main reservation is structural: one reader praised the book until the final stretch, then felt three complicated threads were wrapped up too abruptly. The audiobook edition is verified, but performance-specific evidence remains too limited for a firm judgment about January LaVoy's delivery.

How long is the audiobook?
The unabridged audiobook runs 6 hours and 40 minutes.
Should I listen to a sample first?
Yes. The narrator is identified, but public commentary about this specific performance is too limited to characterize the voice or delivery confidently. A sample is the best way to decide whether the narration suits you.
Does the book include violent material?
Yes. Violence is a meaningful part of the crime-focused material, so listeners sensitive to violent subject matter should take that into account.
Will I need to concentrate while listening?
Probably. Available reader response describes the story as complex, with several threads to follow. One response also suggests that the final stretch resolves multiple threads very quickly.
