As you may have noticed I joined a reading Challenge for 2012--well this is the 1st book in that challenge "The Women's Murder Club Reading Challenge" hosted by Darlene's Book Nook My biggest challenge is reviewing this book without giving away the plot!! Well here it is--(I will be doing a giveaway on this book and the others in the challenge at some point)

1st To Die—James Patterson

The first in the Woman’s Murder Mystery Club series introduces us to the major players and how they came together. Four strong woman, each at the top of their career paths who seem to gravitate towards each other and become fast friends and confidants and in the process solve a terrifying murder mystery.

First is Lindsey, a homicide inspector in the San Francisco police department who is the first have to confront the fact that a malicious killer is targeting newlyweds in the San Francisco area. She meets and falls in love with a fellow officer.

Then there is Claire, a medical examiner who is also a close friend of Lindsey. Claire is the kind of friend we all wish we had.

Cindy, a tenacious reporter, who just started working as a crime reporter on the San Francisco Chronicle is invited by Lindsey to meet Claire at the bar/restaurant where they decide that they should all work together to try and solve this mystery. Of course Cindy has to be sworn to secrecy and promise that she will not “write up” what is known until Lindsey gives the okay.

Jill, an assistant District Attorney, is the last to be invited to this club—a powerhouse who does not like to lose cases and rarely does!

And so it was born—the Women’s Mystery Club—where they joined forces, drank lots of Margaritas, pool their collective intelligence and outwitted the “most diabolical and terrifying killer ever imagined”.
