Confessions: The Private School Murders Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
In the sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Confessions of a Murder Suspect, James Patterson keeps the confessions coming breathlessly as Tandy Angel delves deeper into her own tumultuous history-and proves that she can rise above the sordid Angel legacy. Wealthy young women are being murdered on Manhattan's exclusive Upper West Side, and the police aren't looking for answers in the right places. Enter Tandy Angel. The first case she cracked was the mystery of her parents' deaths. Now, while she's working to exonerate her brother of his glamorous girlfriend's homicide, she's driven to get involved in the West Side murder spree. One of the recent victims was a student at Tandy's own elite school. She has a hunch it may be the work of a serial killer, but the NYPD isn't listening to her...and Tandy can't ignore the disturbing fact that she perfectly fits the profile of the killer's targets. Can she untangle the mysteries in time? Or will she be the next victim?

CONFESSIONS by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro has to be one of the most unusual novels I have read. If ever there was a contest for the most dysfunctional family in New York City, the weird Angel family of West Manhattan would win hands down. The wealthy parents, Malcolm and Maud, chemists by profession, had for years been feeding their five children mood, mind, and body-altering drugs unbeknownst to the siblings. This regimen resulted in gradually changing them into zombie-like personalities deprived of all emotions except anger. The story opens with the parents found dead in their bed. About the same time, the oldest sibling, Mathew, a Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Sunday afternoon hero for the New York Giants, is charged with the murder of his girlfriend. The main character and bright spot of the story is 16-year old Tandori Angle. Tandy, high on the IQ ladder, fashions herself as the family leader and protector. She also feels she has crime-solving instincts and constantly peppers a mostly uninterested Detective Caputo of the NYPD with her intuitive thoughts on murders and other crimes. On one hand, the story is a bit simplistic and unreal while in many ways complicated and difficult to understand. I recommend the read if you are a fan of Paetro and Patterson. I rate it an average 3 out of 5.
This was a nice, fast moving suspense without a lot of sex. I would allow my teenage granddaughter to read this. Hated for the book to end.
Come on, a family where the parents drug all the children to control their senses. The police call on a young school girl to help them solve crimes and she has business cards she hands out. In the past whenever a Patterson book came out I grabbed it up, I won't make that mistake again.
This is the worst James Patterson book I have ever read. Actually, I can't even say that I read the whole book because I couldn't even get halfway through it. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money. If you're thinking of this for your first Patterson book, he has a lot of better ones out there.
Tandy is back and this time she has 3 mysteries to solve. First, who killed her brother's fiancee (Matthew is on trial for the murder, but Tandy is pretty sure he didn't do it). Second, who is killing wealthy private school girls (who are about Tandy's age). And finally, how are poisonous creatures getting inside the exclusive Dakota building where the Angel family lives. Oh, and she is still trying to figure out some of her past; what memories of her love James are real and what happened to him?Tandy isn't certain if she will still have the mental focus and skills needed to solve these mysteries. First, she has been off her "vitamins" since her parents' death. These "vitamins" were actually drugs given to the Angel children by their parents to make them more focused, smart and strong. Will Tandy still be able to solve the mysteries without her special drugs? And will she be able to concentrate with the constant distracting thoughts of James running through her mind.A new character, Jacob is introduced in this book. Uncle Peter has left Jacob in charge, he is the new guardian of the Angel children. He is the most sweet and caring adult the Angel children have ever known. He is more loving and caring than Maud & Malcolm ever were.All in all, this was another great Patterson book. Tandy is a fun narrator and I enjoy reading about her adventures.
This is still another great read from Mr. Patterson. If you have read the first Confession of a murr suspect well this still another episode of Tandy and her excellent murder solving skills. The ending is great as well but just do you know, just prepare yourself for a possible continuation of Tandy and James. Enjoy
Not one of his best. It seems a 16 year old girl is smarter than the NYC policwe force. There must be a second book because one of the murders is unsolved but I already know who did it - and so will you!!! Childish!!!!!!!!!!
AS USUAL. PATTERSON IS EXCEPTIONAL IN HIS CHARACTERIZATIONS. THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK ARE UNUSUAL AND INTERESTING. THE PLOT MOVES ALONG AT A MANAGEABLE SPEED. THERE WAS ONLY ONE PROBLEM FOR ME. THE STORY IS INCOMPLETE. I WAS LEFT WONDERING. NOT SURE IF I WANT TO PICK UP THE NEXT PART OF THE STORY. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED WITH THIS BOOK.
