1st to Die (A Women's Murder Club Thriller, 1)

The women’s murder club is the best series he’s written. I itch it turn every page. I’m attached to characters. He knows where my fears are hidden and he shows it in this series.

If you like these books I dare to say you’re not a reader much. Just about every author out there makes this guy look like the clown he is. He’s a businessman and a greed machine.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat going through pages. I’m usually difficult with finding a book keeping me interested but this one didn’t fail along with second chance, I’m currently on third degree and just bought the 4th book. If you’re thinking about getting this or any in the series just get it. You won’t be disappointed.

Murder mystery

I love this book. I haven't read a book for pleasure or leisure EVER! I wanted to start reading and I'm so glad I read this book. The story line keeps you intrigued and you want to not put the book down. The development of the story is amazing

I brought a like new book and the first 7 chapters are gone! Very disappointing.

So glad I bought 2nd Chance at the same time!

I have always been a fan for James Patterson and wanted to read the Women's Murder Series from start to present, but my daughter loaned out the first book and it was never returned. 1st Die is full of twists and turns. It is a book that you do not want to put down and will continue to read to the end. James Patterson keeps you guessing as to who the actual killer is. I would recommend this book to any James Patterson fan old or new. If you like a good murder mystery book this one's just the start for you.

This is an excellent crime story and drama book and I would not trade the author for the world. Keep up the Good Work James Patterson!

I've just finished my first James Patterson book and am still reeling at the pace and punchiness of the short chapters.Four women ,a police officer,a medical examiner,a reporter and a prosecuting attorney,band togrther to form "The Murder Club",to solve particularly baffling cases.A serial killer is systematically butchering brides and their grooms ,soon after their wedding. The pace of this book will leave you breathless and unable to put it down. I can't wait to get the next in this series.

This is my first James Patterson book, trust me it is not going to be my last. I have been a little slow in starting Patterson's books; I had so many different series going that I didn't want to start another. I'm sorry that it took me so long to read him. Thank you Mr. Patterson for starting another series, so I could start without having to "catch up" a bunch of books. I was not disappointed in Mr. Patterson's skill. He is a fantastic writer. Let see things to like about his style, no padding, Patterson does not bore the reader with a lot of environmental detail. I really don't care that the streets were full of trash or that the mountains had a red hue to them because of this or that. But the author does give you enough to understand the environment and the people. Second, his characters are well thought out and developed to perfection. But within the flow of the story, he doesn't waste pages describing every little thing about them. Mr. Patterson uses a unique way of blending first and third person to tell the story. This is a very enjoyable way to unfold a story. The read is not stuck in only one point of view for the whole book. Thirdly, the story flows from beginning to end. All the clues are laid out as the story progresses. So that when the twist and turns the reader is as much off guard and the characters. "1st To Die" is an excellent book, if it were a person, they would be in excellent fighting condition, all muscle and no fat. I loved the characters, both the good and bad guys. The villain is truly a nasty and mean character. The good guys are people I would like to have as friends not perfect but good people. When I first read about this story line, I thought another story about people taking the law into their own hands. That is not the case here, I respect Mr. Patterson for not sinking to that type of story. When the hero is a vigilante he or she is no better than the villain. I whole heartily recommend "1st To Die" to any one who enjoys a very good read. Oh, and by the way, I've started James Patterson's Alex Cross series. So now I have a lot of "catching up" to do.

Run, don't walk to buy this book. I've read them all, and I used to think that Along Came a Spider and Jack and Jill were the best books he had written...until now. Welcome back Mr. Patterson. I must admit I've been disappointed with a couple of his latest books; however, for those of you who have been fans from the beginning, you will LOVE this book. I wish I could say something about the plot, but to do so would give it away. All I can tell you is that there were at least four times in the novel where I said aloud "Oh my God!" This book will be tough to top. I'm so glad he's back to his old form......

James Patterson has succeeded once again. We all know the sucess, and eloquent style in his Alex Cross series. Now Patterson does the unthinkable, producing another winning series. Hats off to this fine writer. This is a great read for anyone. The master of suspense does not disappoint once again!
