Four women-four friends-share a determination to stop a killer who has been stalking newlyweds in San Francisco. 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 … 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 one another 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.

James Patterson never lets me down! Excellent book and definitely a must read.
Good read
Cleverly plotted, but a little too kitschy for my taste. And really, really short chapters made the book easy to pick up again after putting it down. Don’t like it enough to read nineteen more.
Great beginning to a great series
Wow. Awesome. Didn’t see that ending coming.
From the very first page, I could not put this book down! I wanted to know what happened next & get to know the characters even more. If you’re into crime stories, this is definitely must-read! I love James Paterson’s books
oh my word this is one heck of a good read!! If you love the thrill of the search for evidence and the killer then, as always, this James Patterson book is a definite must read. It is highly addictive and it takes some doing to put it down before hitting the end! With a double sting in the tail this book is gripping from start to finish
First in the Women’s Murder Club series. This was a very good book and sucked me right in!
I read this book several years ago and I absolutely loved it! James Paterson is a favorite of mine, I just love his books and would recommend them to anyone!
A thrilling page-turner that introduced me to the brilliance of James Patterson’s story telling. You won’t be disappointed.
Have read the whole series and books keep you on the edge! Need to continue reading until the end.
Nothing better than solving crimes with your besties lol, and James Patterson writes short chaptered books which are great for busy people who read in small increments when they can
I love all the books by James Patterson. The way he builds the story, all the action, suspense, you can’t hardly put the book down for a break.
Great book, make sure you read them in order, starting with this one!
I love reading any and all James Patterson’s books as he never fails to write a great mystery with great characters which keeps me reading til the end and wanting more.
Great read
A policewoman, a prosecutor, a medical examiner and a reporter form the Woman’s Murder Club. The beginning of a great series. They investigate murders that they become involved in thru their work.
Think of a word that begins with “f” and ends with “ing.” Now say the word “great,” followed by the word “book.”
1st To Die is one of the best crime mystery thrillers I have ever read. Maybe the best. I am not going to risk tossing a spoiler into this review. But I will say the paperback I just finished is 424 pages and there is not a single …
Absolutely LOVE the Women’s Murder Club series!!! Waiting for the 18th book to come out in a couple of weeks.
great book
