“THE 8TH CONFESSION”
  by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro


Review #33
Main Character: Lindsey Boxer
Another edition of the Women’s Murder Club

Detective Sgt. Lindsay Boxer, of the San Francisco police department, is searching for a killer who's knocking off the well-to-do without leaving any signs of violence on the bodies or...toxicology traces. All the victims are healthy, wealthy and dead! The investigation is going nowhere until McCorkle, in Cold Case Files, recalls a series of unsolved killings from 1982, in which the unidentified perpetrator used a krait, a rare Indian snake, to poison the victims.

Meanwhile, Boxer's gal pal, journalist Cindy Thomas, is pressing the police to devote resources to a low priority murder, that of a homeless man, known as Bagman Jesus, whose real name is a mystery. And…a romance develops between Cindy and Boxer's hunky partner, Det. Rich Conklin.

I always enjoy Patterson’s books and this one is no exception, especially since Lindsay makes a life-changing decision that fans are going to love!

Can’t wait for “The 9th Judgment” which just hit the bookstores!
