Confessions of a Murder Suspect Review

This is the story of a crime. Tandy's parents have been murdered in the night, and before she can discover their bodies, the police are already knocking at the door. With the doors locked tight, the only possibility for a killer is someone who is already in the house, including Tandy herself. She is not willing to cancel anyone in her family out of her investigation, and she will do her best to find her parents' killer.

The writing in this book is quite phenomenal. The story bounces from chapter to sections called confessions. The story is directed right at the reader and it is especially obvious in the confessional sections which feel like a private conversation between Tandy and the reader. As you read, you often wonder if Tandy could be the killer because she never rules herself out. The depth of the family’s oddities becomes more and more evident as the story progresses. These are not children who were raised in the typical way. They were raised to be wealthy and great, and their parents were determined to do everything in their power to make sure the children become what they want them to be.

The story is fast paced and filled with a feeling that you are on the edge of your seat through the entire book. Pieces of background help fill in the gaps and help you understand the Angel family. You never doubt for a moment what any of them are capable of doing. This was a pleasure to read and I highly recommend it for Junior High reading level and up.
