Lindsay Boxer is a San Francisco homicide investigator and she is called to a most disturbing crime scene in which a bride and groom have been killed on their honeymoon night. As Lindsay begins the investigation another murder takes place...the same M.O......a bride and groom on their honeymoon night. What kind of sicko killer is she up against? The investigation seems to lead nowhere so she turns to her friend, the medical examiner on the case. Both women enlist the help of an investigative reporter and the assistant D.A. to form a club known as "The Women's Murder Club." Each does their own investigating and they meet to compare notes. As they go through the pieces they come upon on item that peaks their interest greatly. There is an unpublished author whose book depicts each of these same murders in detail. They don't have any concrete evidence against the author just yet, but twist and turns keep taking them here and there in a spinning thriller suspense until the end of the book and the shocking revelation. I finally got around to reading this series by Mr. Patterson, which I feel now I grossly over-looked! "1st To Die" is the first novel and it is wonderfully written and I just love the group of woman who take charge to find the killer, which would have been almost impossible if done on their own. There are devastating health issues Lindsay is dealing with but she never lets it stop her, in fact I think it keeps her going stronger. The plot is fast paced and the mystery itself is one you love, because it is full of the usual twist and turns and you'll have a time guessing. I can see where Mr. Patterson uses his expertise from his Alex Cross series to weave this tale. Fans will not be disappointed. I just wish I had started reading them earlier, but I read this book in one day!Read full review

I read the 4th & 5th books in the series before this one so it was nice to go back to the beginning and see where lieutenant Boxer was coming from. If you have read other books in the series I recommend going back and reading this one. And If you are new to the series then this is the place to start! In this book Detective Boxer joins forces with 3 other awesome women to solve a string of very sad and unusual murders. Brides and Grooms are being murdered on their wedding day. The main villian is a total sleaze. Just when it looks like the murders have been solved by Lindsay, there is a twist that causes total doubt. Does she have the right guy? During the investigation Lindsay finds out that she has a life threatening disease and must go through blood transfusions to fight it. She's fighting for her life, chasing a totally insane killer and she falls in love!!! There's alot going on in this book. A great start to a great murder mystery series!Read full review
Loved the book almost from the first ten pages. Arrived at the due date and a great value, even though it's an older book.

If you like the James Patterson (thriller) novels, then you will like this one. Why? James Patterson writes those two to four page chapters which makes this book move along quickly. James patterson does an excellent job of drawing pictures with words. He describes each and every character so well that you think that you would recognize them if you saw them walking down the street. His novels (and this one) have those multiple twists and turns that James Patterson is famous for. I liked this book, and I am looking forward to reading every book in this series (I believe that there are seven books in this series). Read this one.
