A review by amykwong
Confessions of a Murder Suspect by Maxine Paetro, James Patterson
4.0
To be honest, I approached this book with a bit of trepidation as the cover and the title both seemed rather immature. However, upon reading it, I found that I liked it immensely.
The plot was fast paced and exciting, and I found that this was a book I could not put down. The unique characters were interesting to read about, and I enjoyed the exploration of the psychological issues of the Angel family. The book ended with several unexpected plot twists. Despite some foreshadowing, the ending was still surprising and interesting.
My only complaint is a minor one about the structure of the book. The book is written in short chapter-scenes, with shorter commentary by the narrator in between (this was also where a lot of the foreshadowing happened). At first, this was rather confusing, but as the reader goes on, it becomes easier to understand.
I highly recommend this book, especially to teens interested in child psychology and mysteries.
