Review: Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

Confessions of a Murder Suspect
By: James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

 
Synopsis From Goodreads:
James Patterson returns to the genre that made him famous with a thrilling teen detective series about the mysterious and magnificently wealthy 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: She was the last person to see her parents alive. The police have no suspects besides Tandy and her three siblings. She can't trust anyone -— maybe not even herself. 

Having grown up under Malcolm and Maud's intense perfectionist demands, no child comes away undamaged. Tandy decides that she will have to clear the family name, but digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs is a dangerous -- and revealing -- game. Who knows what the Angels are truly capable of?

Title: Confessions of a Murder Suspect
Author: James Patterson & Maxine Paetro
Genre: Young Adult Mystery
Length: 372 pages


My Review:
Rating:  

If you enjoy a good mystery, much like my sister and I do, this is a good book to consider picking up. My sister and I both read this book and fell in love with the story. This is my first James Patterson book and he really knows how to bring you into a story, making you want more. I did not want to put this book down until I found out who killed Tandy's parents. He puts you on a joureny through Tandy's eyes as you help to solve the death of her parents.

I have always enjoyed a good mystery and James Patterson wins with this book. The entire time you are questioning Tandy's siblings and unlocking secrets right along with her. It really brings the story to life. 

But not only are you wondering if her siblings killed their parents, you also find yourself wondering "could Tandy have done it?" Throughout the entire story Tandy shows few emotions if any. In a way each sibling is somewhat unusually. You begin to wonder "are they even human?" It's hard to put this book down because you just have to know what is coming next for this poor girl and her siblings. 

If you enjoy the mystery genre I definitely recommend this book. It is definitely worth reading, especially if your new to the mystery genre, this is a good starter book. I can't wait to start reading book two. I'm sure it will be just as good as this book.
