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?

You seem to be attracted to this sort of book. Crime mystery with a more personal and guttural side. What do you think draws you to these?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of another book I've read. Is it good, so far? Does it have lots of cop-like stuff with the files, the way the people are addressed and the work with suspects?
ReplyDeleteIm not to far into the book yet, but so far it is really good. The main character is only 16 years old, but is still really good at solving murder cases.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a similar style to Nancy Drew stories - have you read any of those? Does the author provide a lot of contextual clues about who the culprit could be, or does it strictly follow what the main character thinks? What do you think of the writing level of the book - easy to read and you can surge right through, or does it have a deeper undertone that you have to think about what the real meaning is, or somewhere in between?
ReplyDeleteJames Patterson used a lot of overpowering feelings in this chapter. When Tandoori starts to remember some of the painful memories that her parents made her forget, she gets angry and has to go to a mental hospital.
ReplyDeleteHow did her parents make her forget the memories? Memories are often "blocked out" by the mind if it is very stressful and traumatic, although the more correct term is suppressed. Was there a particular event that evoked the suppressed memories?
