Confessions: The Private School Murders (#2) by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Tandy solved her parents murder/ suicide in the first book Confessions of a Murder Suspect.  Now Tandy's oldest brother, Matthew, has been arrested for murdering his girlfriend.  Tandy doesn't believe he could have done it, could he?  As she works through his arrest, private school students are starting to show up murdered around town and she is also starting to get some of her memories back about her former boyfriend, James Rampling.  On top of that there is a new guardian for the kids and venomous snakes, spiders and reptiles start showing up all over their apartment building.  Tandy has lots of new cases to solve, but will she solve them before she gets hurt??

Loved this book!  Lots of great sidebar "confessions" and character development.  Had one point of some "sexy" type remembering from her relationship with James, but nothing too steamy.  Would say 7th and up.  

Confessions: The Paris Mysteries by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

The third book in the series finds Tandy in Paris.  She has just found James Rampling, her boyfriend, and spends one day with him, when he disappears again and tells her he is trying to keep her safe.  She and her brothers and their guardian, Uncle Jacob, are living in their grandmother's estate.  She has left them a nice inheritance dependent upon their behavior and not disgracing the family.  Tandy's twin, Harry, is having some issues with taking drugs and he has also been recruited for his musical ability to perform as the opening of  a concert.  As Tandy discovers information about her long-dead sister, Katherine, she begins to wonder if she was murdered and if their Uncle Peter had something to do with it.  

The book over all would be fine for 7th and up.  Does deal with drugs, sex, and a house burning down, but nothing graphic.  

 

Confessions: The Murder of an Angel by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Tandy is back in the last book.  She just caught her best friend, C. P., and her boyfriend (?), James, together. She has checked herself in to a mental hospital to help deal with all she has gone through in the last few months. As she is leaving the hospital and headed back to school, things go crazy again.  She is feeling like she is drugged and finds herself about to jump off their balcony, someone drives by and shoots at her, and her whole family is on a plane that crashes.  As things ramp up with attacks on her life she really doesn't know who to trust and even thinks if she has to die to take down Angel Pharmaceuticals she will.  

I think this is the best book of the whole series.  I felt like Tandy was an unreliable narrator, but...  I wish there was more to the Angel family series, but since this was from 2015 I don't think there will be.  Great wrap up to the series.

Don't start it until you can finish it!
