1st to Die: A Novel (Women's Murder Club, No 1) Mass Market Paperback – February 1, 2002
Purchase options and add-ons
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 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 each other 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.
Full of the breathtaking drama and unforgettable emotions for which James Patterson is famous, 1st to Die is the start of the #1 New York Times bestselling series of crime thrillers.

I will definitely read a few more in this series
The relationship between the protagonist and her love interest is pretty standard. Her internal dialogue in regards to it is unbelievable. It's sort of like if you've ever seen "The 40-Year-Old-Virgin," and he says boobs are just like sand--it's like that. Women don't think the way they're portrayed. Granted the author is a man, but maybe he should have consulted with a woman or something on internal dialogue. It's not repulsive but it is off-putting. For example "She looked at me with the fragile courage only another woman could understand." This is from a woman's perspective. What's fragile courage? I don't think courage has ever been connected with the word fragile. Either you're courageous or you aren't. Is a woman's courage somehow brittle? This is the sort of thing you'll have to stomach if you're going to get through this book.
The writing is acceptable overall. It's sort of like someone writing about football that never played the game, or the moon (who'd never been lol). Everything was essentially telegraphed, whether or not it was intended. For someone lacking a great deal of insight into interpersonal relationships, the story was okay. There are a lot of things that are unbelievable during the story and also in hindsight, but I'll leave that for another reader to discover. There are tons of examples. Maybe you'll see what I mean.
As a disclaimer, this was my first James Patterson novel. I picked this up after watching his Masterclass. Now that I know how he writes I have more context for what he covers in the course.
