James Patterson is one of my favorite authors simply because he writes great murder mysteries. Its always a pleasure to read one of his books. You can be on chapter 90 but only be on page 115. His novels are an easy read --chapters no longer than about 5 pgs. They are great books if you don't care to read but want something to put your nose in. ANYWAY, since 2007 -when I graduated college- I've been reading his Woman's Murder Club series (b/c we all know that I'm a sucker for series). Recently the 8th book came out. Its called The 8th Confession (I know original, right? haha At least you won't confuse which books goes where on the bookshelf)
In this book, Lindsey Boxer, the cop of the series battles with her inner demons wether to marry he current beau or try a fling with her younger, attractive cop partner (whom she out ranks at that). All while she and Rich (her partner) try to hunt down a killer who is murdering upperclass rich people with virtually NO evidence. As always Mr. Patterson weaves his tale to leave you wrapped up until the end.
Not my favorite in the series, it seems to lack some of the "pop" the others have had. It could be because its now co-written with a woman. I don't know. It doesn't hurt the book but the flow isn't what it used to be. I'll buy the 9th one when it comes out because, hey, its Patterson! ;) I give it 3.5 hearts. [Sorry don't have the little hearts for you today :)]
