Just finished reading "First to Die" by James Patterson. It is the 1st book in the Women's Murder Club series. Loved this book!  I could not put it down and it had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Looking forward to reading more of the series. Thanks to those who recommended this author!

Thanks for the tip......I've bookmarked it on Amazon to read what I can about it. 

You gave me an idea for gifts for 3 nieces.  - never thought about books but we all like a good mystery.

Have you read other books by this author - and  - if so do most carry a spell-bound interest?

Thanks again - suggest more if you can.

Re-read = apparently this is your first by JP

Thanks again

I need to read #16 & #17 in the Murder Club series which I have on my shelf and also #19 & #20.  He has #21 coming out in 2021.

I also like his stand alones but don't want to read his Cross series.  Not for me.

James Patterson has a few series that I really enjoy. The Woman's Murder Club Series is one of them. I just finished the 11th book a few weeks back.  

Here is another good series by him. "NYPD Red".

Patterson's early books were so good.  Then he adopted the practice of just outlining a story, then having a second writer actually do the writing.  Some authors write well, others like 5th  graders.  His books have very uneven writing due to this practice.

@LuvmyLab  .. I read all the books in the Women's Murder Club Series.  Enjoyed all of them!

@fthunt  This was my 1st book by this author. I have heard of him for many years but had other authors that I wanted to read 1st. I loved the 1st book of the Women's Murder Club. If they are all this good I can't wait. I definitely recommend them.

I agree.............i really enjoyed him in his earlier novels....but then like  you said co-authored and i just couldn't get into those stories....less then exciting......

I am also not a fan of authors writing good books in the  beginning and then creating a series with one of their popular characters in every book thereafter..............i want a new and different story each time....

I agree.  I read the early books that he actually wrote but stopped when he started taking the easy way to cash.
