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.

Horrible sound effects and music ruin the production

Audible: please warn your readers if you have “enhanced the listening experience” with music and sound effects! I stuck it out for the story, but this is the last I will be listening to in this series. Several disappointing moments in this book from a story perspective but even those moments are overshadowed by the terrible production. Whoever thought that playing cheesy elevator music behind all the remotely romantic scenes and adding sound effects for gunshots and explosions would add to the reading of this story was terribly off base. Totally ruins the book by distracting from the story. I’ll have to search for the next book in the series without this “added production value” and read the paperbacks up until that point.

Love the books but dislike the narrator

The books remain true to form and highly enjoyable. The narrator has a lisp and it gets worse as she gets tired. I mean no disrespect to the woman but it is irritating to listen to. The book is so good one can bear it. If you have to time to read, get the book.

Another Great Story by James Patterson

Any additional comments?

James Patterson did another great job here. He had three different story lines going. You are not sure if they tie together are not. Along with the plots, there were personal story lines going on with three of the main characters. He is just a great author. Really enjoyed the book.
