Women's Murder Club

Usually I try to come up with a catchy title that will draw your attention into the blog post, but author James Patterson did all the work for me when he titled his massive series Women's Murder Club.

Patterson has an extensive writing collection, and our newest acquisition of his (thanks to my sister's basement) is the Women's Murder Club. This series - currently spanning 18 books - follows four women in San Francis who work together to solve murder in their hometown. Since all the books in the series focus on the same theme --MURDER-- I'm going to spend this blog explaining the main characters. That way you are ready to go when you get the first book 1st to Die.

The Detective

Meet Lindsay Boxer, a homicide detective for the San Francisco Police Department. Lindsay is five foot ten. She was a sociology major and graduated from San Francisco State. She loves beer and butterscotch praline ice cream. She has a border collie named Martha. She enjoys running, loves to read travel books and mysteries and her secret hobby is tai chi.

Lindsay has been divorced once and is now married to long-time boyfriend Joseph Molinari. She has a younger sister named Cat and a father named Marty, who was also a member of the SFPD. Marty left Lindsay's mother when Lindsay was 13.

The Reporter

Meet Cindy Thomas, pretty, blonde and city cool. She's a crime desk reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. Cindy is a graduate of the University of Michigan where she was a sociology major. She loves yoga, jazz music and, like her friend Lindsay Boxer, loves to read travel books and mysteries—she's even a member of a book club.

The Medical Examiner

Meet Claire Washburn. Claire is wise, confident, kind, and the Chief Medical Examiner for San Francisco. She is married to Edmund, a kettle drum-player in the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Claire and Edmund have two teenage sons and a young daughter named Ruby Rose. She also goes by the nickname "Butterfly" and has it embroidered on her lab coat at work.

The Attorney

Yuki Castellano is an ambitious, young San Francisco district attorney who is passionate, brilliant, given to speaking at 90 miles per hour, and sometimes wears a magenta red streak in her glossy, black, shoulder-length hair. Her parents met at a graduate school mixer for foreign students and married within three weeks. Her mother is Japanese and her father Italian American.
