About this listen

 Four women - four friends - share a determination to stop a killer who has been stalking newlyweds in San Francisco. 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 one another a hand.


1st to Die is the start of a blazingly fast-paced and sensationally entertaining new series of crime thrillers.

Overly dramatized by the narrator.

While appreciated the narrator’s efforts, the Performance was overly dramatic to the point of distracting the listener.

terrible attempt at writing from woman's pov

I've really enjoyed a handful of James Patterson novels, but this was the first one I've read where he tried to write from a woman's perspective - it's awful! I keep trying to go back to it and instead I end up cringing at his horrible, stereotypical, sexist portrayals of women: Female Investigator - cries at crime scene, coworkers make comments about her 'being a woman;' Female Investigative Reporter is "shocked" and "so surprised at what she's doing" while she's literally only doing her job trying to get the story. The two women characters meet, while at a crime scene, and first thing they think of doing is trying to become friends. It's nauseating! Don't waste your time.
