Greetings to all,
It is often that we see, amidst
our headlines,the travesty of murder, yet we are still fascinated by it in
one form or another. The one medium we seem to focus on of late is books.
There are numerous authors, both male and female, that seem to give such
emotion to the art of portraying someone who is walking a different path
than most. A much darker path.
This month I chose to focus on
another author who seems to bring about a twist in the normal
stalker/killer story. James Patterson: Since his debut novel in 1976, when
he was merely 27, he has thrilled us ever since with his narrations. He
writes about murder, not along the usual lines, but with a twist that many
do not seem to have these days to keep our interest. I have found him
quite different from recent authors I have had the privlege of
reading.
This month I have found "1st to Die" the novel of choice.
It brings about four women, all of whom are within the same bounds of the
working arena as well as a common bond elsewhere....a man to be precise.
We find ourselves on the West Coast this time, rather than the South, in
the graceful outlines of San Francisco. It is amid this town in all it's
usual splendor that we will find a plot, no just by one, but also by four,
that will through our minds into a dizzy of not knowing which way is
up.
This suspensful story brings a new meaning to the "woman
scorned." We find that when given a common ground and common emotional
backing, women, and these four to be exact, are not something that should
be tangled with nor met in the dark alley on the way home from the office.
With each woman's unique position in the Community, one backs up the other
nicely and finds the way to get "their man."
This is also a story
of young loves: happily ever after and the evil villains all rolled into
one grande event. If you are not one to read murder and out and out
plotting of revenge, this is still something that should spark your
interest. It brings about a more realistic chain of events that you may
well be second guessing your own neighborhood and "Woman's
Clubs."
James Patterson has definately put together the right mix
of suspens, hate, love, friendship and business women that it should lead
you right onto the next novel, and the next, and the next,..... I do hope
that you will find the time once again to read through page after page of
this murder scenario for I do guarantee that you will not want to put it
down until the bitter end. Afterall, what is a little plotting murder
among good friends?
