This book was a book I couldn't put down. I read it cover-to-cover in a few hours. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

The first book of four women-friends.Each one hold a peice of the puzzle, and together they solve the crimes. Excellent Patterson reading.

Be careful reading this book because you will forever be hooked on Lindsay Boxer. I couldn't put this book down and went on to read through book four in one week.

Good story. It actually made me cry. I must have been very tired!

A good read for bright women ABOUT bright women!

The Women's Murder Club pits four San Francisco women professionals against a serial killer who's stalking and murdering newlyweds in bestselling author James Patterson's newest thriller. Lindsay Boxer is a homicide inspector who's just gotten some very bad news. She deals with it by immersing herself in her newest case and soliciting the personal as well as professional support of her closest friend, who happens to be the city's medical examiner. The two women, along with an ambitious and sympathetic reporter and an assistant DA, form an unlikely alliance, pooling their information and bypassing the chain of command in an engaging, suspenseful story whose gruesome setup is vintage Patterson.
"What is the worst thing anyone has ever done?" the killer muses to himself early in the narrative. "Am I capable of doing it? Do I have what it takes?" Answering his own question, he embarks on a murderous spree that takes him from the bridal suite in a Nob Hill hotel to a honeymoon destination in the Napa Valley and thence to a wedding reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Dispatching his victims on the happiest day of their lives, he purposefully leaves enough clues for his distaff trackers to discover his identity and put him behind bars. But just when the women think they've got the case all wrapped up, the killer turns the tables on them in a bloody denouement that even the most discerning reader won't see coming. Patterson, author of the popular Alex Cross mysteries, promises future adventures for the Women's Murder Club, which may give him an opportunity to develop his heroines' characters more completely and win new fans among those who prefer their detectives in high heels and lipstick.

This is a great James Patterson book. It was my first and has me hooked on him as one of my favorite authors. The plot is great with twists but not so over the top.

I enjoyed this book very much. It had a twist I didn't see coming.

Book one in a series of the "Womans Murder Club"....Four woman, an inspector with the SFPD, a reporter, lady from the morgue, and a lady from the DA office form a group that solve murders ....This first book also involves love and heart ache.....and centers around Lindsey, the SFPD inspector, bout with a serious illness and the love she found and how both could shatter her life.

Great book! If you like mysteries you will love this book!

Great reading!

This was my first Patterson book to read, and I enjoyed it. The book was written with 2-3 page chapters, and I found that to be a nice change of pace and made it very easy to find a stopping point at the end of the day. The story was consistent up until the last 1/4, with several unexpected turns near the end. The only thing I didn't like was the outcome of one of the characters, but you can't get everything you want. :) Overall very enjoyable, I will probably read the rest of the series

Enjoyed!!

Suspenseful and very engaging, I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

This is a great read. Fast paced. Has short chapters, but there is a lot that goes on in the chapters.

This story is filled with twists and turns and links crimes that seem random. This book was definitely a page turner and kept my interest to the end.

Fun book - I wish there was a bit more in the way of character development...specifically with Lindsay. Still, a nice and quick read..

I fell in love with this James Patterson series after reading this first book! He always keeps me on my toes!

Great first book introducing the members of the Women's Murder Club. Enjoyed the various mysteries and the twists and turns. Just when you really think you have it figured out, you are really surprised by the culprit! To me, this is the reflection of a great author!

Keeps you guessing till the very end! Great suspense, mystery as well as thrills and chills.
