This is the first in a series known as the Women's Murder Club. It's formed over time by homicide inspector Lindsey Boxer, when she realizes she needs help with a sick, perverted series of murders of just-married couples, that come to be know as "The Honeymoon Murders". Let's just say the groom is always murdered first and the bride is always defiled in some way... AFTER she's killed! Over the course of the case, she enlists the help of her best friend Claire, medical examiner, also Cindy, a rising crime reporter, and Jill, a district attorney. They join forces and decide to conduct their investigation independent of the police force. The girls are all likable and the book works best when they meet up to discuss their clues. There are a couple of subplots that really get in the way a little bit, I think. I think Mr Patterson spends too much time on the relationship that blooms between Lindsey and her partner, and wasn't all that believable to me... but does provide some touching moments toward the end. Overall, a good, exciting, twisted story. One thing I will tell you, nothing is as it seems. I will look forward to reading more in this series. Ranger Brad recommends...
More later...

I think this is the only book I've read of Patterson's in his Women's Murder Club series. Maybe I'll return to them and read the rest of them.
