So Tired Yet So Wired: Book Review: Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson (Contains Spoilers)

I really need to make a schedule of when I need to post these things. Alright, so I finished reading COAMS (short for the actual title), by James Patterson a while ago, and I just read two other books by him. First I'm going to review this one. Let's go!

What Happens:
The book begins with two cops banging on the Angel Family's door. Tandy, who doesn't know that her parents were murdered. The two cops tell the Angel kids and their friend Samantha that they must not go into the parent's room. Now all the Angel kids are suspects. Tandy is extremely smart, and she was the last person to see her parents, after she got the Big Chop. Harry is the artistic twin brother, and great pianist, but a disappointment to his parents. Hugo is a ten year old boy with uncanny strenght. Finally, Matthew is a famous all-American football star, who kind of hates his parents.

Tandy is very determined to find out who killed her parents, specially since one of the cops, Caputo, insists that she is guilty. The Angel siblings also had a sister, Katherine, who died because of the Grande Gongo, which was a prize the angel kids would receive if they had done something excellent. Katherine wanted to be an engineer. She flew to South Africa, met a boy named Dominick, and got crushed by a bus. Tandy decides to go into her parents room, even though the Detective Caputo told her not to go anywhere near their room. She walks in and finds these two bottles, and realizes that they may have been poisoned. But, by who? She starts thinking about why her brothers would poison their own parents. Harry, because his parents didn't support him, Hugo because of the Big Chop, and Matthew because he hated that his own parents treated them like trophies. She starts looking at Hugo's diary entries, that talk about how he hated his parents Malcom, and Maud, and he wanted them to die.

In other news, Matthew's girlfriend Tamara, said on an interview that Malcolm was her lover, and the baby's father. Tandy doesn't really believe her, but Harry does. Tandy says that one of the neighbors said that they had heard the Angel parents arguing, and talking about 'financial changes'. Tandy starts suspecting Samantha aka Maud best friend. She goes into her office and finds a gold locket with a piece of paper, a love note from Maud.

"Sammy, love forever." - Maud
Me as Stiles: wHAT?!

Later on Tandy finds a secret door that leads to a lab that Malcom used to make pills or "vitamins" for his kids. Some of them made them stronger, or smarter. Hugo, actually knew about this lab, but he didn't know what Malcolm used it for. Then Tandy suspects her Uncle Peter (Hope he's not a werewolf) because he worked with her father on the pills. Tandy also tells the story of when she ran away to a party, and met a guy, and was caught by her parents, who made sure that she wouldn't remember the boy's face. Anyway, they later on go to a guy's house Nate Crosby, who wanted to make a movie about their parents, but they had refused. They look around the house and find footage from the night of the parents death. They had killed themselves. Turned out that Maud has pancreatic cancer, and when she found out, she could no longer cure it.

UNCLE PETER!!! ASKDAJSFHB

My Opinion:

I always enjoy a good James Patterson book, so this book was awesome. I loved how I had to try and solve the crime on my own, only knowing the clues from each chapter, each confession. By the way, totally fell in love with Harry, my poor misunderstood boy, who just wanted love from his parents (sounds like Dean Winchester).

Favorite Part:

That would definitely have to be the one where little 10 year old Hugo jumps off the top of a building, and to the ground, scaring the crap out of Tandy, and Harry. The kid does more illegal things than I did when I was 10. Not that I did anything bad, or illegal...I love you mom!

Conclusion:

Good book, totally should read it if you are into mysteries. You know I should really start putting the whether you should read it or not part at the top...Sorry for the spoilers.... But yes, you should read it anyway.
