• Expletive overload...
  Today I stopped listening to this audio book for three reasons. First, expletive overload. I'm not naive enough to think that cops don't swear (my brother was one), I just don't want to hear it or read it in every other diaglogue. Second, horrible reader. Third, murder nausea.

• First in the Women's Murder Club series
  First book in the Women's Murder Club series.
  Four professional women in San Francisco (a cop, a medical examiner, an assistant DA, and a reporter) join forces to catch a serial killer who is brutally murdering newlyweds.
  Lots of page-turning action and Patterson's trademark gruesome, misogynistic murders. Read this for the gory murder mystery, not for the character development. While I didn't love it, I liked it enough that I will continue to read the series.

  I started this series on the sixth book, so when I saw this at an airport, I was excited about finding out how the WMC had started. I really enjoyed reading about it unfolding. The mystery of the plot kept me intrigued. It did get a little more graphic than I would have liked at times, and I almost lowered it to 3 stars as a result.
