A serial killer is stalking and murdering newlyweds on their honeymoon. San Francisco Homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer takes the case and along the way meets three other women–a lawyer, a reporter, and the city medical examiner. Joining forces to solve this gruesome crime, the Women's Murder Club is born.
Ok, this one, I was skeptical about. I got the series up to the 5th one for Christmas last year, and I've finally gotten around to reading it. I was shocked. It's classic Patterson in the sense that it's made of 1-2 page chapters, which definitely does make his books slightly easier to read, although it's annoying at the same time.
I was instantly intrigued with Lindsay Boxer as a character, and she had a great backstory. I like how the others characters where gradually brought in and revealed with their connections, and the club they've formed is a great concept. They're friends who work in the justice field, one a homicide inspector, one a medical examiner, one a reporter, and the other is a district attorney. They're strong women working in dominantly male fields. They meet up together to discuss aspects of the case, showing that 2 heads (or 4..) heads are better than one.
I'm actually looking forward to the next one in this series.
