1ST TO DIE by James Patterson
Someone is killing newlyweds on their wedding days. And not just taking their lives, viciously mutilating and denigrating the couples in death, leaving crime scenes that turn the stomachs of all involved. (Not for the first-time crime novel reader, this is a vivid look into murder, fixation, and forensics. Those comfortable with the genre will find a fast paced, twisting tale of cat and many mice.)
