Great Book Not So Great Narrator
I really enjoyed the multiple plots. It made it worth listing to the book all the way to the end. The narrator was a bit annoying as she sounded like a child reading a story at times.

Not Up To Expectations
Having read all the Women's Murder Club book series, this one was a huge disappointment. The story lines were not believable at all. The personal relationship's were way out of the realm of reality, and the "murder weapon" made it impossible for me to even listen as I have a strong aversion to that item. Don't want to ruin the plot for others so I am being vague, but it is not worth the time. Additionally the narrator sounded the same regardless of which character she was representing. Half the time I did not know who was saying what to who. If this is the best they have left, its time to end the series. Sorry, just bad writing

Reader Disappointing
I had a lot of trouble getting used to the reader - who reads mechanically, putting the same amount of emphasis on each word - mechanical.
A good reader enhances my enjoyment of a book - in this case I had to make an effort to persevere in order to get through a pleasant story.

Women's Murder Club Rules!
Another great Women's Murder Club Book. Always enjoyable, and Carolyn McCormack is the perfect narrator for this series. Fast paced and lots of twists and turns. I'm sad the book ended and I have to wait another year for another one.

Not all Bad...but
I have been a fan of the "Women's Murder Club" series and I also enjoyed the television show (RIP). This was my first audiobook for the series and it was lackluster at best. The voice of the characters was barely discernable from one to another and felt unmotivated. I understand this is fluff writing, but it is enjoyable, but the listening was not what I expected. Needs better phrasing and the pronuciation is too upper-crust for a cop. Better luck next time, but I will by the paper instead.

I want to - but cannot - like the narrator
It seems that the listeners are divided about whether they think Carolyn McCormick is a good narrator. I want to like her. I always liked her on Law & Order. But her narration is flat and too formal to add the grittiness I desire. Additionally, the four women aren't dissimilar enough. I cannot always identify who is speaking and even find that at times I need to back up and figure it out.
I like the Women's Murder Club series. I read numbers 1 -6, and listened to #7 before listening to this one. It is my least favorite of the eight. Mr Patterson's writing has many elements that seem too simple; the tension didn't build to the end of this book. The twists and turns didn't take me for the suspenseful ride that I look for when reading a mystery.
I did enjoy getting to know Cindy a bit more in this novel.

Horribly written
I loved the first three books in this series, was okay with the next few, have become less enchanted over time. I loved Lindsay Boxer character but this book reduces her to a blond bimbo and the book is just not the quality that the series and characters deserve. Patterson needs to go back and write his own books or at least prevent the reader from having a gag reflex over the stereotypical female reactions and vocabulary that real women rarely think, let alone use "my hunk of man" etc. I will not be a fan of this series any longer and am sad about that as I was enjoying the characters in the earlier books. Oh, and is there any book out there that references celebrities more than this one??? The obnoxious comparisons and irrelevant comparisons to Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Willy Nelson (really???) Sheryl Crow etc. An English teacher would absolutely make a student take this back and edit that silliness out.

Who REALLY writes these Women's Murder Club books?
Where to begin...? I really admire Carolyn McCormick's character, Dr. Olivet, in the original Law and Order television series, with her calm, sincere demeanor and her willingness to stand up to authorities on behalf of her patients. But as the voice for The 8th Confession, she sounds strained and stressed regardless of the character or the character's situation.
The result is that I found it difficult to relate to ANY of the characters or their situations. Ms McCormick's voice is an annoying high pitched monotone with a sense of urgency and stress, making it impossible to determine when one should even care about anything or anyone in the story. It's also often difficult to recognize which character is speaking.
But neither did the story's plot help the narrator; it was all over the place. I suspect that there was more than one author working in different rooms who got together at lunch and put the chapters together into a book. One of them wrote the romance novel section, another a mystery, and the other wrote a forensic medicine novel. The managing author then developed stereotypical characters for each of the categories.
I listened to the entire book because I was commuting and tired of listening to music and news. I really regret wasting my credits on this book, however. I suggest listening to a sample section before buying it...it's what I should have done.
