Publisher Description

James Patterson returns to the genre that made him famous with a #1 New York Times bestselling teen detective novel about the mysterious Angel family . . . and the dark secrets they're keeping from one another.



On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, Tandy Angel knows just three things: 1) She was the last person to see her parents alive. 2) The police have no suspects besides Tandy and her three siblings. 3) She can't trust anyone-maybe not even herself.



As Tandy sets out to clear the family name, she begins to recall flashes of experiences long buried in her vulnerable psyche. These memories shed light on her family's dark secrets, and digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs proves to be a disturbing and dangerous game. Who knows what any of the Angels are truly capable of?

"James Patterson's creativity knows no bounds, confessions of a murder suspect is an example of just that. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time i read this book. I finished this book in one day because i just couldn't put it down. I hope to see a sequel to this book because i absolutely adore Tandy and her family, this book has broken my scale."

Quotes

  • “Patterson and Paetro deliver a fast-paced mystery. The unconventional characters add tension and excitement to the story, as each child reacts to the murders in a different way…Recommended for middle-school fans of realistic fiction/action thrillers or lovers of books with strong female protagonists.”

    — VOYA
  • “Tandy’s determined to find the killer and discovers a few things about herself along the way. The story is narrated by Tandy in short chapters written in a confessional tone; they move the plot along, but are light on true crime investigation.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “Fans of Patterson’s fast-paced style and surprising plot twists will embrace the beginning of another series.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • “The complex, clever plot keeps the pages turning as it wends its way to a surprising resolution and several cliffhangers.”

    — CommonSenseMedia.org
  • “Galvin makes Tandy sound youthful, angry, and strangely unemotional about losing her parents. Galvin also does a good job with Tandy’s brothers, including twin brother Harry, who comes across as sensitive and weepy. NFL star Matthew is furious, loud, and threatening, and ten-year-old Hugo is realistically upset. She also speaks in a believable New York accent for detectives as she keeps the short chapters humming along in this fast-paced story, which leaves some unanswered questions, ensuring that listeners will anticipate the next series title.”

    " his James Patterson series is a fun and exciting series. I listened to all of them, one right after the other. Each book is a continuation from the last and none of them let me down. Each one just as interesting as the last and the continuous thread is more intriguing each time. "

    " I'm being generous giving this a three considering how many times I rolled my eyes while listening to this. Tandoori Angel wakes up one might to discover that her parents have been murdered. They live at the Dakota. Soon she and her above average siblings are suspects. Why did I roll my eyes? Because everyone is exceedingly above average in an annoying way. Still, a few jaw droppers happened that kept my interest. "

    " Everyone in her family is special and a sociopath....and that's all the protagonist talks about. Oh we're so crazy, oh we're so special. If I'd known what a boring ending this had I wouldn't have bothered. I never read the ending first but if I had I'd have saved myself six hours and fourteen dollars. Ugh. "

    " This book started out so promising but when it got towards the last couple of chapters, it completely flopped. I was hoping for some shocking or creative ending but was disappointed to find that it was instead a very humdrum finish. The writing style of the book was very interesting because the main character and narrator of the book, Tandy, spoke directly to the reader making for one very unique book. There were also a lot of lose ends that the narrator brought up and said she would explain at a later time, but never really did. "

    " I got lost sometimes but it is was full of surprises and sometimes I couldn't put the book down. Very discriptive and interesting how it came from the perspective of a teenage girl. Definately a must read. "

    " Normally I like these sorts of books but the constant going back and forth between perspectives made this book difficult to read. Parents experimenting with drugs on their own children, rich people living in the exclusive Dakota, a tabloid murder mystery all sounded interesting but it just did not work out for me. Maybe James Patterson should try to focus on quality versus quantity published. "

    " Interesting premise, a girl is blamed for her parents murders. Some parts were more entertaining then others. Pretty suspenseful. I hope Mr. Patterson continues the series. It has enough promise that it could ending up being a great series.It's only the beginning. "

    " I listened to this and the copy I had did not indicate the title was YA or J. I probably would have borrowed it anyway, but the tone did put me off. The story is simplistic, the writing technique a tad annoying and the resolve of the mystery - a real let down. "

    " Meh, the end was a total cop out, not much character depth and slower than what we're use to with Patterson's books (although I think its pretty same to assume that he doesn't really write them anymore anyways). Take it or leave it, you won't be missing much either way. "

    " I just couldn't finish this book. The style was horrible and written like a 14 year old amateur fanfiction writer. It's another case of a good idea written by a terrible writer. "

    " As far as James Patterson and adolescent lit goes, this book was pretty good. I only gave it three stars because I wasn't expecting it to lead into a series. However, I enjoyed Tandy as a possible "unreliable" narrator, and I look forward to hearing more of her Confessions. "
