The Investigative Alleyways of San Francisco in 1st to Die In other words, they're much better-equipped than any average sleuth could hope to be, but even their combined powers might prove insufficient in capturing perhaps the most dangerous serial killer the city has ever known. Lindsay Boxer is an actual homicide inspector for the San Francisco Police Department, Jill Bernhardt is an assistant District Attorney, Claire Washburn is a medical examiner, and Cindy Thomas works for the crime desk of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. These four women in question aren't just anyone. While most people prefer to stay within the safe confines of their homes, four lady friends decide to take matters into their own hands, forming the Women's Murder Club to begin a collaboration outside the box. The idea behind this story is quite simple, taking us to a San Francisco stunned and terrified by the recent actions of a serial killer whom the police can't even begin to get close to. Perhaps thankfully, this isn't a realistic dream for most of us, but not the four crime-solving friends in James Patterson's 1st to Die, the start of the Women's Murder Club Series.

While we all understand a murder mystery implies, well, murder, I think most of us would still love, on some level, to put on our sleuth uniforms and solve one for ourselves. Murder mysteries have become so profoundly-entrenched in our culture it's become virtually impossible to make your way through life without coming into contact with them, and as is the case for most people, develop a certain fascination for the enigmas they present. James Patterson Sends his Sleuths for the First Hunt In the midst of widespread fear and panic, four crime-solving friends bond together to find the culprit, each one holding part of the key to the solution.

The Women's Murder Club is one of the many series he has running, and the title which kicked it off, 1st to Die, takes us to a San Francisco shocked and reeling from the recent crimes of a serial killer.

James Patterson might conceivably be one of, if not the most prolific author of thriller literature in the modern era.
