This edition is an audio book, narrated once again by the talented and exciting Carolyn McCormack who breathes life into the characters with ease. The 8th Confession has multiple story lines intricately woven together. A school bus explodes while at a busy intersection killing ten innocent people on their way to work. But who was on the bus? Please... Not kids. Lindsay and Richy are trying to solve countless cases piling up on their desks when they're told to drop everything to investigate a very high profile case involving a series of deaths of some of San Francisco's richest and most famous celebrities. Despite all the resources of the SFPD being thrown into the investigation the motive behind the suspected murders, and the cause of death are yet unknown. The victims are all among high society's biggest partyers who combine a toxic mix of drugs, alcohol, and sex but the bodies are immaculate, seemingly in perfect health, no wounds, nothing fatal on toxicology. Zip, Zero, Nada. Even the brilliant ME, Clair Washburn, is at a complete loss as to the cause of death. And that alone is alarming. The brass wants the cases solved yesterday but Lindsay and Richy have nothing to go on, no where to start. And an endless list of people who could be involved. It's disheartening to say the least. When another celebrity lands in the morge Clair, Lindsay, and Richy get a shock when something wriggles out of the sheet the body has been brought in on. It's a startling discovery. Cindy is keyed up and determined to find out who killed a defenseless, homeless man known only as Bagman Jesus. Everyone on the street says he was a saint who helped countless others, leaving two words in his wake - Jesus Saves. So who would want him dead? And why? The further Cindy digs into the man's life the more danger she's in. And nothing is as it seems. Yuki is in the middle of another trial she thinks she has finally won. A young woman has gone to her parents house in the middle of the night and attached them in their bed with a crow bar. There's plenty of evidence to say that she was there. Her father is dead. While her mother lay dying she was able to tell the police, recorded on video tape, that it was her daughter who did this to them. Miraculously the mother survived but has since recanted her original statement to the police, saying she can't remember. Now, the jury is claiming that they may not be able to reach a verdict. Will Yuki lose yet another case? Meanwhile, among all the chaos, sparks are still flying between Lindsay and Richy even though Joe has left his entire life behind to move to San Francisco to be with Lindsay. Joe has since proposed to her but Lindsay has yet to say YES. Or even NO. Isn't that what she always wanted? Then why is she so conflicted? Then Cindy and Richy discover each other but aren't telling anyone. Including Lindsay. Yuki, too, has found love. She's dating a doctor she met in the ER when she accidentally walked into a moving car. Everything about him is perfect. Is he too good to be true? The 8th Confession is an exhilarating ride through a multitude of cases and a tangled web of personal hopes and dreams of finding true love. The end result of who ends up with whom made my head spin.
