My review:???

8th Confession has someone killing the rich and famous, which means Lindsay, Cindy, Claire and Yuki need to work together to find out who the killer really is.

I mostly enjoy this series except for the below. It’s got multiple story lines that weave together, there’s lots of different behind the scenes, be that at the newspaper or the law courts, and the friendship between the main characters is heart warming.

But, I found I was uncomfortable with the storyline about Doc in this book, .  Spoilers ahead for this as I think it needs to be talked about.  Doc was born with ambiguous genitalia, and so his parents made a choice and raised him as a girl, but Doc identifies as male.  This feels like great representation in a popular series, but they used the word ‘repulsed’ for how Yuki could feel about him, and that feels like such a strong word for not wanting to have sex with someone.

8th Confession was published on 27th April 2009 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I’m afraid I couldn’t find any links for Maxine Paetro for you to follow.
