Four crime-solving friends face off against a killer in San Francisco in the Women’s Murder Club novel that started James Patterson’s thrilling series.
Each one holds a piece of the puzzle: Lindsay Boxer is a homicide inspector in the San Francisco Police Department, Claire Washburn is a medical examiner, Jill Bernhardt is an assistant D.A., and Cindy Thomas just started working the crime desk of the San Francisco Chronicle.
But the usual procedures aren’t bringing them any closer to stopping the killings. So these women form a Women’s Murder Club to collaborate outside the box and pursue the case by sidestepping their bosses and giving each other a hand. The four women develop intense bonds as they pursue a killer whose crimes have stunned an entire city. Working together, they track down the most terrifying and unexpected killer they have ever encountered–before a shocking conclusion in which everything they knew turns out to be devastatingly wrong.
Full of the breathtaking drama and unforgettable emotions for which James Patterson is famous, 1st to Die is the start of the #1 New York Times bestselling series of crime thrillers.

Hi this is Wanda
I loved this book. It is twisty and turney but not overly complicated. I liked the basics of the characterization that was set into place in this book and am looking forward to learn to know the four women better.
I can not really say more about the book. It is light reading and fun at that. What more do you want?
We had a copy for sale but it sold. As soon as we get another we will list it. Over to my wifey…
Wifey here!!
Suddenly there was a murder, suddenly there was another. Lol. Well, to be honest, the word didn’t come across that much as in a usual James Patterson book. I enjoyed this book. I listened to it while I worked. At some point I had to stop working and had to listen. The book grabbed me. It was a good book. I liked it and would recommend it to all James Patterson fans.
Yes, we now have a copy. For only R20 it is a steal. It is well used though. Here is the link!
