Title:
Confessions of a Murder Suspect
Author:
James Patterson
Genre:
Crime
James Patterson has once again
done an amazing job with his latest crime book, Confessions of a Murder Suspect. The story is centered on the life of Tandy
Angel and her siblings after a horrible incident occurs. One morning they all
awake to find two detectives at their door, and their parents are dead.
Tandy takes on the full
responsibility of finding her parents’ killer.
The Angels are an affluent family
from Manhattan, New York City. Their father, Malcolm Angel, co-owned Angel
Pharmaceuticals with his brother, Peter. Their mother, Maud Angel, was an
investor. They had four children, Matthew “Matty”Angel, twins Tandoori “Tandy”
Angel and Harrison “Harry” Angel and Hugo Angel.
The surname “Angel” indicates that
the family are perfect – in almost every way. Matty is a fantastic football
player. Harry has exceptional creative skills, with music and art. Tandy has
impressive analytical and deduction skills. Hugo is stronger than the twins and
he is only ten years old.
The doors of their apartment were
locked and have the highest security. The only individuals inside were Harry,
Tandy, Hugo, Samantha (Maud’s personal assistant), and of course, their
parents.
The police see all of them as
suspects.
So Tandy comes to a conclusion. A
shocking one. Her parents’ killer was in
the apartment. She was the last person to see them alive. She knows that
she can’t trust anyone – not even herself.
There is also the mystery of
Katherine, the Angel’s eldest daughter, who died in an accident in South
Africa. Tandy misses her a lot. Her parents didn’t think that Katherine was
perfect, but in Tandy’s eyes, she is – was-
the perfect sister.
It’s a tough case since the Angels
weren’t particularly liked by most people, especially their own children. Maud and Malcolm were perfectionists. They
expected their children to be the same. They were powerful, overbearing, and
tough. It’s putting it lightly to say that all five children had big expectations
to live up to.
Malcolm and Maud had and had made
many enemies during their lives. They also had numerous dark secrets that are
yet to be revealed.
Tandy knows that she has to find
her parents’ killer and clear the Angel name – fast.
Old and new fans of James
Patterson will enjoy his latest teenage-detective novel.
