Publisher's summary

When a preacher with a message of hope for the homeless is found brutally executed, reporter Cindy Thomas knows the story could be huge. Probing deeper into the victim's history, she discovers he may not have been as saintly as everyone thought...

Rich, beautiful, and powerful, Isa and Ethan Bailey were living in the spotlight as San Francisco's perfect couple--until they are found dead in their luxurious home. As the hunt for two criminals tests the skills of the entire Women's Murder Club, sparks begin to fly between Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner, Rich Conklin, making it difficult to stay focused on the case. The electrifying new chapter in the Women's Murder Club series, The Eighth Confession serves up the mile-a-minute twists that only James Patterson can deliver.

Not all Bad...but

I have been a fan of the "Women's Murder Club" series and I also enjoyed the television show (RIP). This was my first audiobook for the series and it was lackluster at best. The voice of the characters was barely discernable from one to another and felt unmotivated. I understand this is fluff writing, but it is enjoyable, but the listening was not what I expected. Needs better phrasing and the pronuciation is too upper-crust for a cop. Better luck next time, but I will by the paper instead.

Maxine Paetro gets little credit!!

Maxine Paetro took over from Andrew Gross as Patterson's co-author in The Women's Murder Club series with Book #4 in 2005 and has now coauthored 14 novels in the series. She has also coauthored with Patterson 7 novels in two other series. Looking at the book covers one realizes she gets little credit. I hope she is well compensated.

The 8th Confession is an excellent suspense thriller.

Good narration but cheesy music

The books themselves are pretty cheesy, but enjoyable. The narrator is great, but the background music in some chapters is super cheesy and distracting. Would be better without it.
