Women’s Murder Club Book Series By: James Patterson

This series of books is based on five good friends who all work within the crime field in San Francisco. There are currently 12 books in the series with the 13^th coming out May, 2014. The characters include Lindsay Boxer the homicide detective, Claire Washburn the medical examiner, Jill Bernhardt the assistant D.A and Cindy Thomas the reporter from the Chronicle. The 4^th book introduces a new member to the club Yuki Castellano the district attorney. These five women are bright, very successful and solve a lot of murders in San Francisco. With the club solving murders and sending a lot of people to jail, this puts a target on the clubs back. Each book has its own story, but the personal things that happen to each club member carries on to the next book. James Patterson does a great job adding personal touch to each ones lives. For example Lindsay Boxer’s marriage is in trouble water, and she turns to her friends for advice on what to do.

I chose this series because as women we know that it is important that we have at least one close girlfriend that we can really count on and know that we can talk to her about anything and she wouldn’t judge us on our mistakes. These books show the strong bond that club has in terms of “best friends” but also has the murder suspense story that keeps you reading.
