1st to Die by James Patterson 
My first experience buying a used book and it had obvious wear, corners turned down and someone wrote their name on the first page. I expected a cleaner book.

Abrupt and unrealistic ending; frustrating end to exciting book 
Gosh dang it; I really enjoyed this book, until the ending when someone dies completely unnecessarily and the plot takes one final twist that's just too abrupt and unrealistic. Annoying that something so good was ruined in the end; I honestly don't know if I recommend it or not--it was interesting, exciting and realistic up until the last five chapters or so. Only read it if you have nothing else to read, otherwise it's not worth the ending frustration.

An enjoyable read that will keep your attention
I read Kiss the Girls, Patterson's second novel, several years ago and thought it was a real thriller. My daughter, a Patterson fan, loaned me a box of JP's books. This is the thirteen one that I have read and only two, Along Came a Spider and Jack and Jill; books one and three, were above average. For those that I have read his first three have been the best. The plot had a few minor holes and a lot of the prose seemed to be contrived to fit the story. The main story line was about a serial killer that killed the bride and groom on their honeymoon. San Francisco Police Inspector, Lindsay Boxer, is assigned this high profile case and first has to find the common denominator between these gruesome murders that were in three different cities; one as far away as Cleveland, Ohio. What was the motive for stalking and slaughtering these newly weds? Even with these minor faults, 1st to Die was an enjoyable read and kept my attention.

review 
Used books are the best way to save money and still get my reading fix. This product will serve my purpose and allow me to relax and enjoy my free time. I will most likely order from you again should you have a book I am looking for in the future.

AWESOME!!! Made me a MEGA-FAN
A great start to a series. The last 30+ chapters surprised me- every one was something new. Patterson has just acquired a new mega-fan.
