Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated 1st to Die (Women's Murder Club, #1) in Books

May 10, 2018

I never seem to do things in the right order. This is my third Women's Murderer Club book. I have already read 5 and 6. I gave the book three stars because I didn't like the way it ended.
Four women from four different sides of the law decide to put their collective brains together to solve murder cases. Lindsay the homicide detective, Claire the medical examiner, Jill the assistant district attorney, and Cindy the crime reporter.
When three couples turn up dead after their wedding nights, these ladies work together to find the killer. When they find out that the suspect is someone famous,will Lindsay be able to find enough evidence for an arrest, or will the guilty get away?

Alice is a well-known Harvard professor with a successful career, a loving husband, and three grown children. However, at the age of 50, she finds herself increasingly forgetting things - a particular word of a lecture, an event, how to get home from a run... Alice is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease and her world completely changes.

This book is beautiful and horrifying and tragic. It literally hurt my heart to read about Alice's unraveling and spiral into her disease. It's terrifying, for sure. Genova does an amazing job portraying Alice and the supporting characters of her life - particuarly her husband John, and her three children. It's definitely a worthwhile read, though it will stay with you for a while.
