Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In the first thrilling book in James Patterson’s long-running Women’s Murder Club series, four professional crime-solving women and close friends are determined to stop a killer who’s targeting newlywed couples.

So San Francisco detective Lindsay Boxer pulls her closest friends into the case, utilizing the expertise of crime reporter Cindy Thomas, medical examiner Claire Washburn, and prosecutor Jill Bernhardt. Patterson isn’t afraid to step outside the strict standards of the crime genre here, focusing on romance, Lindsay’s mental health struggles, and the power of female friendship in addition to the perplexing case. If you’re ready for a tantalizing mystery that goes beyond the typical hardboiled fare, you’ll love 1st to Die.
Customer Reviews
Awesome book.
I love murder mystery type books and this one definitely was a good one! Well written! I can’t wait to read the rest of them!
WOW
Awesome is all I can say with a final twist that hits you square between the eyes
Amazing
One of the best books ever. No one can write crime novels like James Patterson. It’s very exciting, and full of plot twists. Not appropriate for (most) kids & teenagers (I’m writing this as a 13 year old). The victims are newly married couples and are often put in sexual positions after death. Other than that, this book was just so amazing. Great suspenseful writing. Read right now.
