Review: 1st to Die (Women's Murder Club, #1) by James Patterson

Title: 1st to Die (Women's Murder Club, #1)
Author: James Patterson
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
Publication Date: March 5, 2001
Edition: ebook (363 pages)
Genres:
  • Fiction
  • Mystery
Series: Women's Murder Club #1
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lindsay Boxer, an Inspector with the San Francisco Police Department, is handed a case the public calls the "honeymoon murders." She joins with three other women, a newspaper reporter, medical examiner and an assistant DA to solve it. She is also forced to come face-to-face with fighting her own, possibly fatal, health crisis.

The plot sounds good. The writing is certainly good. The book is not slow-moving or boring. But this book didn't grab me on an emotional level, and I cannot adequately express the reason for that. Perhaps it's something lacking in me, and not the characters or the writing. I may give the second book in the series a try, at a later date. I have not yet decided.
