A review by alykat_reads
1st to Die by James Patterson

medium-paced

4.0

The thing I like about Patterson books is their simplicity. I don't have to concentrate too hard to follow the story and the chapters are short making them quick reads. Is Lindsay the best detective? Nah, but she's also going through a lot in her personal life throughout this (hello, capitalism and being unable to take some time off while going through chemo.. that's a rant for another day). I liked the aspect of 4 women coming together to solve murders, even if its a bit unethical. As long as Patterson doesn't do to this series what he did to the Alex Cross series (turn all the killers into people who are personally out to get the MC [side note: this seems to be a common theme in series I've been reading, and just whyyyyyyyy?! It completely ruins them]) it should be an enjoyable one to pick up a book every now and then when I need something simple.
