Summary
The 1st novel in James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. As the only woman homicide inspector in San Francisco, Lindsay Boxer has to be tough. But nothing she has seen prepares her for the horror of the honeymoon murders, when a brutal maniac begins viciously slaughtering newlywed couples on their wedding nights. Lindsay is sickened by the deaths, but her determination to bring the murderer to justice is threatened by her own personal tragedy. So she turns to Claire, a leading coroner, Cindy, a journalist and Jill, a top attorney, for help with both her crises, and the Women's Murder Club is born.

Great Story, Shame about the Narrator
James Patterson writes a brilliant story that keeps you gripped. The narrator though is off putting with the constant pausing for breath and swallowing saliva is making me think twice about downloading the other murder club books.

Loved the book, hated the narrator!
What did you like most about 1st to Die?
Great book ! had me gripped, although I actually managed to guess some of the narrative, but got a nice twist at the end.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Hated the narrator - she actually made me feel sick - with the weird slurping and slapping of lips when talking. *shudder* wish i'd read the review before downloading - as I want to listen to more - but I can't have her doing that again. Why didn't the person editing say something!

Reader
The reader needs to work on breath control. Too many gasps at beginning of sentences. Distracting and annoying.

The most irritating narrator
Enjoyed the story but found the "breathy" "gulping" narrator extremely irritating and ruined the whole experience. I would of loved to listen to more but I will read the next few books instead

Loud inhaling!
It's all I can hear now! It's never really happened before. The book is good, it's a shame.

shame about the narrator
Would you consider the audio edition of 1st to Die to be better than the print version?
only use audible
Have you listened to any of Pat Star’s other performances? How does this one compare?
As the heading says, shame about the narrator. I found her continual swallowing (it sounded as if she was slurping a drink) very annoying and off putting. If the story had not been so good I would have given up after the 3rd chapter.
Any additional comments?
Great story, gripping to the end as expected from James Patterson. The introduction of the characters was very normal. Would have been better to have got the book.

Appallingly narrated
Would you try another book written by James Patterson or narrated by Pat Star?
I love James Patterson's books, but who on earth choose this woman to narrate it? She constantly makes wet noises with her mouth, takes deep breaths and runs out of breath in the middle of sentances. I am only 2 hours into it, intrigued by the story but don't know if I can put up with the cringe-worthy speech. Totally unconvincing character voices too. I am astounded that such a popular novelist allowed his book to be so mangled! As one of your many visually impaired readers I don't even have the choice of reading it any other way.
What did you like best about this story?
The story
Would you be willing to try another one of Pat Star’s performances?
NEVER
If this book were a film would you go see it?
I don't watch films
Any additional comments?
Re-record it with a better narrator - please

1st to Die: The Women's Murder Club, Book 1
A good story, well written. Excellent characters. As with all audio books, different narrators have different styles. I find once I become used to the narrator, I can lose my self in the book very easily. I shall be looking to download the next in the series.

Great book watch with the narrator mouth noises
Really good book, great story, but the narrator seems to make an awful lot of noise with a mouth and all the heavy breathing it be less annoying if she ate while reading the book

To much lip smacking by narrator
The narrator is constantly chewing or lip smacking between words it becomes extremely distracting from the story
