Womens Murder Club 8: 8th Confession - James Patterson

James Petterson has been writing a series of books which are part of the 'Womens Murder Club' series for a while now. They involve four women who have all featured heavily in previous books. They are Lindsay who is a Homicide Detective, Cindy who is a reporter, Yuki who is an ambitious attorney and Claire who is a Medical Examiner. The story for the 8th Confession focuses on two main threads. The first is a murder of a "saintly" homeless man and Cindy who is a journalist finds her senses telling her to keep on at this, and she is convinced there is a story there. The other thread features the serial murders of the rich society movers and shakers in ...  Read the complete review

I've been a big fan of James Patterson for a few years but I've always stayed with his Alex Cross series. However, my partner went out, saw the name James Patterson and I thought i'd give it a go. I wasn't at all sure if i'd follow the storyline as it is part of the Womens Murder Club series and I think this is the 8th book. I have to say I had no problems picking the book up and following along. I might have missed some of the background but Patterson and Paetro let you know everything you needed to. ~~ The Plot ~~ People think that money can buy them safety and security and it makes them untouchable. Wrong! A serial killer is on the loose but just ...  Read the complete review

Having read every single one of James Patterson's books I was eager to give this one a try when I saw it for sale in my local supermarket. I knew that this was one of a series of books from the Women's Murder Club, and having read all of the others I was keen to know what was next in store for them. I was a little disappointed with this one I have to say, and if any of you have never read a Patterson book before I wouldn't recommend you start with this one, there are far better ones which he has written. Synopsis After a handful of San Francisco's celebrities are found dead in their homes, with no sign of how they have been killed, and tox screens ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of James Patterson, mainly his 'Alex Cross' franchise. I have started to read some of his other franchises and I must admit in most cases I have not been disappointed. I have read a few of the 'Womens Murder Club' franchise so i knew the characters but unfortunately i have never actually felt comfortable with them, which i think is important. This was not one of my favorites and it did take me a while to get into the storyline. From the start it seems a bit hit and miss and I was not gripped. Honestly I think that you cannot read this book without reading the other 'Womens Murder Club' books, so i would not recommend this as your first Patterson book. I ...  Read the complete review

I usually enjoy James Patterson books, especially those he writes in a 'series' more than the single books. I always like the Women's Murder Club and the Alex Cross books. I don't want to write too much about the story line here in case I give it all away but the plot line was up to the usual James Patterson standard. As well as writing about the investigation, he also adds in character development, which not all thriller/crime writers tend to do. This makes me care more about what happens in the book, and I almost feel as if I 'know' the characters and are there with them. Although James Patterson isn't the best writer on the planet, and not all of his ...  Read the complete review
