No one seems to know the cause of these deaths until it slaps them in the face, but will it help them solve the case? Meanwhile Bagman Jesus has just been brutally murdered and his being homeless seems to make him less important, that is until Cindy Thomas gets things rolling for him in ...more

So, I’ve had this love/hate relationship with James Patterson since I read my first Alex Cross novel quite a few years ago. See, he writes these amazing stories but he breaks them up into itty bitty chapters. Why is this a bad thing? Well, mainly it’s a bad thing because you find yourself sitting there, at nearly nine o’clock at night thinking, “Hmmm, it’s only three pages… I can do one more chpater.” Before you know it, it’s creeping up on eleven o’clock and five thirty AM is staring you in...moreSo, I’ve had this love/hate relationship with James Patterson since I read my first Alex Cross novel quite a few years ago. See, he writes these amazing stories but he breaks them up into itty bitty chapters. Why is this a bad thing? Well, mainly it’s a bad thing because you find yourself sitting there, at nearly nine o’clock at night thinking, “Hmmm, it’s only three pages… I can do one more chpater.” Before you know it, it’s creeping up on eleven o’clock and five thirty AM is staring you in the face. I literally devour each and every one of his books that I’m presented with. And this was no exception.

As per usual, you have your main mystery coupled with at least one side story, to keep you guessing as well as entertained. However, he really outdid himself this time as there were two side stories as well as the personal interactions of the Women’s Murder Club, plus Lindsay’s partner, Rich, to think about. But in true James Patterson style, he wove all three stories, as well as the continuing story of the Women’s Murder Club, into one seamless tale by the end.

I love the way he works in not just the way Lindsay interacts with her friends – Cindy, Claire, and Yuki – but also their personal lives, like including Claire’s family and Lindsay’s relationship with Joe. It rounds out the characters and brings their choices and decisions into a more realistic light. Not only that, but I find it fun to know everything I can about a character. For me, that’s what brings them fully to life.

There are only two complaints in regards to this book. 1) There wasn’t nearly enough Lindsay/Claire interaction for my tastes. I love the way that Claire mothers her and Lindsay lets her. 2) Cindy. She’s always been a bit on the annoying side for my tastes, but knowing that she’s a reporter, I’ve always tried to put it to the side, blaming it on her doing what needed to be done to get her story. However, as far as I’m concerned, there were points in this book where she was a raving biotch, to put it lightly. And while you can chalk it up to being passionate about her cause, there wasn’t ever really any reason for it, other than Cindy being Cindy.

That said, everything else about The 8th Confession was awesome. There were surprises along the way and a lot of good times. You laugh, you cry, you shout out in disbelief or frustration. If there was ever a master of the rollercoaster emotion, it is James Patterson.

And thus, one more reason I have such a love/hate relationship with the man. Should I ever meet him, I’m afraid I’d hug him, stomp on his toes, and then hug him again.

I’d like to think that he’d understand why, too.

DISCLAIMER: I borrowed this book from the library, free of charge, via my Kindle. I did it solely out of my misguided love for Lindsay Boxer and her dog, Martha.(less)

The four members of the Women’s Murder Club are present in this novel, but this time their activities are more disparate than collusive. Two main threads are woven through the tight 112 chapters: the sidewalk slaying of Bagman Jesus and the serial murders attributed to Pet Girl.

Reading almost like movie trailers, the first several pages describe two different, horrific scenes that seem irrelevant when Boxer initially takes up the storyline. Patterson’s usual cliff-hanging chapter...more

First of all, why are all of James Patterson's books co-written by someone else? Is he ghost-writing other people's stories? Or is he the one with the great plot ideas but can't string three words together? Has the well run dry, so to speak, after so many years, and he's mining other, little-known authors who are willing to sell their soul for the chance to have their name on a cover with James Patterson?

Pretty good. Interesting combination of several different crimes that are woven together into one storyline.

He and I are thisclose to breaking up. I'm going to give the next Alex Cross book another try and if that isn't fantastic, Patterson and I are done.

For real.

This is the 8th installment in Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. There are two murder mysteries going on. The first is a series of crimes involving the wealthy; various people are found dead, but there's no apparent reason for it. The victims are all young and healthy and there's no definite cause of death. ...more

Someone is targeting high society folks, but no one can figure out how the killer is taking them out. Other than the fact that they might have a taste for partying, drinking, drugs and other debauchery, the victims show no signs of injury or illness. In fact, they are in prime shape.

Claire, the cities chief medical examiner, has done everything she can to find a sign of what might have happened. Nothing shows up in the bloodwork, and repeated looks at the bodies reveals nothing. She even reaches out to other MEs in other jurisdictions.

Lindsay and her partner Rich are not doing much better as they are hitting roadblocks at every bend, leaving no significant clues to work with. They finally get a break when a retired officer points out that the cases mirror similar a similar murder spree in the 1980's. It is that clue that shows them the pattern to finally start pulling the case together.

As all of this is going on Cindy finally gets an opportunity to come to the fore. She takes an interest in the murder of a local homeless man everyone calls Bagman Jesus. At first glance, he has a reputation for helping many of the local indigent population in getting the services they need. He was found beaten to death and with several gunshot wounds to the head. Cindy is horrified at the fact that the police seems to push these types of cases aside because they are overburdered, and no one "really cares." Considering the fact the city is throwing all their big guns on the mystery high society deaths, there is little question that she might be right. Unfortunately, she is not right about everything. As she and other dig deeper into the case, things aren't what they first seem.

As usual, the girls' romances really come to the fore. Yuki finds love after she is hurt in front of the courthouse. The doctor who helps to stitch her up is pretty much the kind of guy every mother would want for their daughter. To make things even better, he is sweet, considerate, and handsome. She hasn't felt like this for a guy in years, and no one knows where their relationship is going to lead.

Cindy also finds a new guy, though he is not as new to the reader. While they are a perfect match, the club members disagree, at first, about whether or not she should pursue him. All she knows is that she likes to spend time with him.

Patterson and Paetro do a nice job of weaving the various plots and subplots together throughout the course of the novel. Each character really has their chance to shine, and the readers get their usual "edge of their" seat reactions as the cases being investigated come to surprising closure. There is no question that fans will enjoy this book and will probably be left yearning for number 9!(less)

I enjoyed the tension between Cindy and Lindsey in this one. It's made the whole situation a little more real as far as their personal lives are concerned.

A beauty queen on trial for killing her father and turning her mother into a vegetable. A school bus blows up in the middle of the street, killing ten people. These are the cases the Women's Murder Club is working on.

Crime reporter is on her way to work one morning when she notices a crowd of homeless people gathered around something. But it is really a someone, Bagman Jesus, shot and beaten. The homeless people sing his praises, and Cindy smells a story.

Yuki Castellano is hoping to get her first conviction in the beauty queen case, but the jury claims to be hung. Then it is discovered that a juror has a daughter in jail, but the judge dismisses her and puts in an alternate. Will Yuki win her case, or will jailhouse justice beat her to it?

Lindsay Boxer and Rich Conklin are working the super-rich murders when they discover that they are similar to killings that happened in 1982. That killer was never found. Has the killer come back after all these years, or it is a second generation killer, seeking revenge?

Lindsay's boyfriend, Joe, adds to the already mounting pressure by going away, but not before telling Lindsay he wants her to decide one thing when he gets back: will he have to move away or will she marry him? It doesn't help that there are fireworks going off between Lindsay and Rich, but a bucket of cold water in the form of Cindy stops that cold. But will it cost Cindy her friendship with Lindsay?

Cindy has other problems to worry about. Bagman Jesus isn't the savior she was led to believe. People are telling her to stay away from the story, but she can't give it up. Has she gone too far this time that even Lindsay may not be able to save her?

Lindsay and Rich close in on the millionaire killer, but not before Rich is put in a life-threatening situation. Will help arrive in time to save him? Or will Lindsay lose another partner?

Intrigued enough? Then go check out the book! I can't tell you EVERYTHING!

Will the murder club and friendships be torn apart by love as a murderer stalks the rich and famous?

On the way to work one morning, Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner, Rich Conklin, encounter an explosion on a bus on the busy streets of San Francisco, but they immediately chalk it up as drug-related. Later, a homeless man is found executed—but since a high society couple is found dead in their beds with no visible cause of death, Lindsay is ordered to investigate it first, leaving reporter Cindy Thomas to dig around and figure out who killed the man known as Bagman Jesus.

The hunt for two killers challenges the Women’s Murder Club beyond their expertise, and when Cindy becomes involved with Lindsay’s partner, sparks fly and jealousy rules, causing a rift in long-time friendships.

Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano fights to break a losing streak by convicting a woman who brutally beat her parents and killed her father for money. In addition, a love interest enters Yuki’s life and makes things wonderful, even as that scares her to death.

At first, The 8th Confession appears to be a typical, unsurprising thriller. But then, true to anything written by James Patterson, he smacks you upside the head with a shocking and clever revelation—both with the plot and the characters—and that’s what makes this thriller rise above others in its class.

As with previous titles in the series, Mr. Patterson and Ms Paetro have at least two subplots going on that don’t really relate to the main plot, so if you’re new to the series, it might be a little disconcerting. Also, I wouldn’t recommend reading the series out of sequence or starting in the middle, because you’ll only end up confused and wondering about character and plot developments that have been explained in earlier installments of the series.

The 8th Confession isn’t my favorite book in the Women’s Murder Club series, because the plot is a bit more subdued, and it leans more toward the characters’ personal lives rather than the action. But I still wouldn’t have missed reading it for the world, because it’s almost as fast-paced, thrilling, and shocking as previous books in the series.

By the time I got to this one, the rest of the books were just a distant memory, and it was hard to remember what exactly had happened up to this point. Luckily the stories tend to reflect back on what happened previously, but it still was hard to catch back up. So in this 8th installment in the Women's Murder Club series, a homeless man is shot and killed; at the same time, someone is killing the wealthiest in San Francisco. The entire police force is focused on the rich people murders, but Cindy is determined to get justice for the homeless man, Bagman Jesus since no one seems to care when homeless people die or go missing. So she starts to investigate herself, interviewing people and offering a reward to anyone who could identify his killer. Most people say what a saint Bagman Jesus was, so Cindy is even more determined to find out who did it. Meanwhile, Lindsay is stuck working the murders of the wealthy people. The only problem is Claire does the autopsies and still has no idea how any of them died. Without witnesses and manner of death, there isn't much to go on. Yuki has her own side story going, working a case of an ex beauty queen accused of murdering her parents. While the trial is definitely the focal point of her story, the big news is that she falls head over heels for a doctor. She feels like it's all too good to be true, but you'll have to read to find out what happens! Also, Lindsay is still struggling with her feelings for her partner, Rich. She loves her boyfriend Joe, but she just can't let go of the chemistry she has for Rich. She notices Cindy taking an interest in Rich and starts to get jealous; she realizes she needs to figure out what she wants and fast! There is some good shocks and twists throught the book, but I found some of them kind of ridiculous. And I just wanted to slap Lindsay; I honestly think Joe's too good for her, and wonder what he would think if he know Lindsay has kissed Rich multiple times and almost had sex with him at least once. She just came off kind of annoying in this book. Actually all of the characters were slightly annoying this time around, except maybe Claire but she didn't have a huge part in this story. I did really like the story line though, I enjoyed how it got you thinking about who's to say which life is more important, as the police seemed to make a stance that the wealthy are more important than one homeless guy. All in all, not a bad read.
