I have always enjoyed James Patterson's writing. I have always found it to be light, to the point, witty, and easy to follow, but I feel that in confessions of a murder suspect he tried switching it up a bit which really didn't work out (in my opinion). Maybe it was because he collaborated with Maxine Paetro? or maybe he wanted to try something new? I don't know which it was, but something in the writing style made it harder to read...I don't know, it just felt slower.
One thing that I really enjoyed about this book was the fact that Tandy, the main character, seemed to have a special connection to us, the read, in a way where it almost seemed as the book was an entire conversation that went back and forth between to people which made the book feel somewhat "personal".
Even though Tandy's way of explaining things, and telling her story may be confusing and downright frustrating at times it made you pay closer attention to every little thing she said because you didn't know if that particular word would reveal a clue later on in the story or contribute to a information gap/questions from previous chapters.
The Mystery and suspense in the book where really palpable and easy to follow and enjoy throughout the book. With the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Angel and some other interesting and creepy incident that appear shortly after out young wannabe Nancy Drew has allot on her plate because of her constant need to discover the truth about everything.
The characters in this book where really complex to read about. Their faults where easy to read and understand while still being complex. These characters, and I mean every single one of them, had things to hide, secrets to reveal, and complex emotions that made reading about them, and the mysteries surrounding them more interesting.
There are still a few gaps in my mind about what happened in the end of the book, but since this is only the first installment in the series I hope that future books will be able to explain and clear up any of the foggy detail this one left behind.
Overall this was a quick, enjoyable read. Maybe not up to my expectations of James Patterson, but it was still enjoyable for the most part.
