The 8th Confession audiobook Series Women’s Murder Club

Patterson and Paetro make a good writing team. Once you start reading this book you can not put it down. All the books in this collaboration are this way.

Audiobook The 8th Confession by James Patterson

I had a difficult time enjoying this book fully because I am deathly afraid of snakes and snakes play a big part in this book. Otherwise, it was a good book, not Patterson’s best but good enough.

I just bought the book, and I couldn’t stop reading it. All the plot twists are great. I knew where the stories were going and then, bam, everything goes in a new direction. That’s why I can’t stop reading; which way will it all go next?

forward to this latest installment of the Women’s Murder Mystery Club. However, I was extemely disappointed with this book. My wife and I listened to the unabridged audio version together as we traveled by car. We both thought this resembled very cheap, romance novel pulp rather than a true mystery novel. I wondered if James Patterson had much to do with the actual writing of the story. If so, then it was the worst Patterson novel I have read.

As others have commented, James Patterson is always entertaining. That is generally true–but no longer “always.” At many points in this novel the writing was so poorly crafted that my wife and I found ourselves groaning in unison. The ending was sappy, especially so in the audio version with violins playing in the background as our heroine is entralled by her “hunk of blue-eyed man.” Gag!

There were sure a lot of blondes (both genders) in this novel. That this would be noteworthy in reviewing a novel tells you something about the story-telling. We also learned that our main character has hair like that of Sherl Crow and is burdened by a 36C bust that makes it difficult for some men to take her seriously. I wondered if James Patterson and Maxine Paetro were taking her seriously.

The frequent sex is gratuitous and juvenile. Was this written for adults? The female characters, with the exception of Claire, have devolved into emotional, love-conflicted misfits whose emotions overrule their ability to reason and make sound decisions time after time. This misbegotten novel is not a credit to women or to mystery.
