Perhaps it was written purely to give an excuse for the characters getting together. I felt that this book was a bit rushed and almost as though it was an afterthought. I did think this was disappointing, as I’ve read some James Patterson before and always enjoyed them. There also seemed to be no real explanation as to why they felt the need to club together in the first place and work outside the normal investigation. It would certainly take more than a chance meeting in the toilets for me to suddenly become best friends with someone.
Anyone who knows me knows I can cry at anything, but I really don’t think that an established Inspector would walk into a crime scene and burst into tears, no matter what else she might be dealing with behind the scenes.Įqually the dialogue between the characters seemed a bit stilted, and unnatural. The main character Lindsay was a bit annoying, she spent a lot of time crying which I found a bit ridiculous. However on the other hand there were some bits that let it down, mainly how the women were portrayed.
The story itself, whilst not hugely original nowadays, had enough twists and turns to keep you hooked, and I couldn’t wait to get to the end (in a good way) This is definitely going to be a review of two parts. He says he was set up, the murder club think otherwise. The main suspect in the story is author Jenks who’s first novel was about a man who also killed newlyweds in the same gruesome fashion. They decide to join forces to fight crime, save the world and wear their underwear as outerwear (or something along those lines anyway) Lindsay’s best friend is medical examiner Claire and along the way she meets journalist Cindy, and lawyer Jill. It is written by James Patterson (probably best known for his Alex Cross novels)ġst to Die starts with Inspector Lindsay Boxer who is chasing the murderer of young couples on their wedding day. This book is the first of a series of novels about the womens murder club.
