Confessions: The Private School Murders
by James Patterson is a YA mystery with a very brave main character,
Tandy, who helps the NYPD solve murder mysteries and gets her older
brother cleared of killing his pregnant girlfriend.
When her parents are murdered, her Uncle Peter gets Jacob (an Israeli)
to be guardian for her and her brothers. He was my favorite
character—what a good guy! The kids’ parents were strange to say the
least and drugged their kids so they would not feel emotion.
They pushed their children to excel. Tandy is obsessed with saving
lives—she was kept busy trying to clear her brother of the murder
charge, finding her long lost love whom her parents tried erasing from
her mind, solving the deadly pest control problem in
her building, and solving the mystery of the murder of four dead girls
from private schools.
The
novel is written in a way that has Tandy telling us what happened and
at some points breaks from the story to speak directly to the reader
about her feelings. This is a good read with lots going on. Parts are
touching, suspenseful,
and heartwarming. The ending made me want to cheer!
