Summary:
"On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, their
daughter Tandy knows just three things:
1) she was one of the last people to see her parents alive.
2) The suspect list only includes Tandy and her three
siblings.
3) She can't trust anyone--maybe not even herself.
As Tandy sets out to clear the family name, she begins to recall flashes of experiences long buried in her vulnerable psyche. These memories shed light on her family's dark secrets, and digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs proves to be a disturbing and dangerous game. Who knows what any of the Angels are truly capable of?"

First lets talk about the cover art! I love the cover art of this book, even the inside cover of the book is good as well! This book is weird, super super weird, but in a good way. The main character, Tandoori, has a super super messed up family. Her and her siblings are left dealing with a mess after their parents die and as they struggle to find normal the whole mess of their upbringing/life comes out. I found myself comparing Tandy to Sherlock Holmes, her personality is somewhat similar. The cops pinpoint Tandy and her siblings as suspects in her parent’s murders, however after you start to realize just how messed up Tandy’s life has been you can’t really blame the police or her for that fact. I mean her parents used standing on one’s head and reciting all the major landmarks in a country as a punishment. I love Patterson’s writing style in this book, he does something that not many authors do which is breaking the fourth wall. He has Tandy actually talk to the reader, and what I love about this is that you know that she isn’t telling you everything. Patterson makes her first person dialogue more vibrant and lifelike than any other character I’ve read about. If you don’t mind weird, than this book is for you!
Rating: 8 out of 10. Super weird, but good!
