She is one of the most respected homicide inspectors on the San Francisco force, but having recently divorced none other than her new boss, Lindsay has locked away her dating life and thrown away the key.

Precocious is a word to describe Cindy Thomas, the youngest and newest member of the Women's Murder Club.

Of the Women's Murder Club girls, no one wears her heart on her sleeve more than Deputy District Attorney Jill Bernhardt. A graduate of Berkley law school, Jill ran away from a dysfunctional home at a young age.

Like anyone who has overcome difficult situations, Jill is always looking for the unexpected twist in the road that could turn everything inside out. It's why that charming boyfriend of hers, Luke, can't always understand why she's unable to settle down.
