Sharp, independant Lindsay is on the police force excelling but she has ran into a brick wall professionally and personally. Her determination and intelligence combined with her best friends same traits (who happens to be the Examiner) leads these to women down a suspensefull hunt for a serial killer. You would think all serial killers are odd...this one is VERY odd. James Patterson manages to get you interested in the first small chapter and it's a book I could not put down...even when scared! Has a bit of shock value so hang on tight. My heart may need to rest before book two of this group. ( )

Excellent

Incredible!! How is it that I've been missing this series? I won a contest and received the first three books in this series all in audio format. I've already started the second book 2nd Chance and have a feeling it's going to go faster than the 1st book did.

The four women that make up the murder club are each well developed. I instantly liked Lindsey, the homicide detective, not only because of her active involvement, but also because Patterson made her real. Lindsey is diagnosed with a blood disorder that she is forced to deal with along with the bride/groom killings. The conflicts that Lindsey endures throughout the story make her very real. She has a life! Friends, a job, a disease, a partner and then a lover. I'm hoping that the further I get into this series that the other three women begin to develop this thoroughly

I was guessing all the way through this book. Every time I thought I had something figured out, I'd be twisted around and looking in a different direction. The ending was definitely a surprise that I hadn't put together at all! This plot was something unexpected. The ending to this book made me want to start the 2nd one right away. I'm attached to the characters already and can't wait to find out how Lindsey recoups from 1st to Die.

A side note here is that I hope the rest of the books are as good as this one. I liked this story so much, that I've got high expectations for the upcoming 7 books! Another note, I loved the reader! Suzanne Toren had great infliction and tone! She really made this an enjoyable listen. ( )

outstanding. Held my intense interest until the end. 3 brides and grooms are murdered. Did the writer Jinx do them? Officer Lindsay, claire, jill, and cindy work together as tough smart women to solve the crime. ( )

Fantastic! An intense thriller with a plot that will make your head spin.

As a bonus, Patterson seems to be one of those rare male authors who can write a first-person female protaganist who isn't intensely annoying. I loved the characters, especially the women of the "club." The extra characters manage to sprinkle just the right amount of humor and romance to break up the creepy (and graphic, be forewarned) storyline.

*Spoiler alert* I knocked this down from 5 stars because the ending was sad. Patterson is definitely not one of those "safe" authors you can count on not to kill a character you've gotten attached too. I personally hate sad endings, but the book is still a great read. ( )
