Publisher Description
As the only woman homicide inspector in San Francisco, Lindsay Boxer has to be tough. But nothing she has seen prepares her for the horror of the honeymoon murders, when a brutal maniac begins viciously slaughtering newly wed couples on their wedding nights. Lindsay is sickened by the deaths, but her determination to bring the murderer to justice is threatened by her own personal tragedy. So she turns to Claire, a leading coroner, Cindy, a journalist and Jill, a top attorney, for help with both her crises, and the Women's Murder Club is born.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The inaugural entry in the long-running Women’s Murder Club series, 1st to Die introduces a strong quartet of female friends, each of whom has specific expertise in solving crimes. When homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer is assigned to the grisly murder of a bride and groom on their wedding night, she meets fledgling crime reporter Cindy Thomas. They soon recruit medical examiner Claire Washburn and assistant D.A. Jill Bernhardt in their quest to catch a savage serial killer. Thriller veteran James Patterson grounds the mounting suspense with engaging subplots, including a rare blood condition and the possibility of new romance for Lindsay. Patterson keeps the twists coming right until the end, while interspersing chilling accounts from the murderer’s point of view.
