Flying home for Thanksgiving was the perfect opportunity to finish my latest book. 1st to Die is the first installment of Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series and was a very enjoyable read.
The book opens with the gruesome death of a newlywed couple in their honeymoon suite. The couple were found in their formal wedding attire. What first appeared as a business deal gone wrong quickly transforms into a serial killer case as other couples die around the country. The case is “unofficially” handled by a quartet of women who share the information they have — the lead investigator, a gossip columnist, medical examiner, and the assistant D.A. The plot continues to twist as each woman deals with her own issues away from the case.
Patterson’s writing is fast-paced and intelligent. The short chapters lend themselves to a casual read, but the enthralling story keeps the audience coming back until the last page of this thrilling who-done-it.
