Confessions of a Murder Suspect Lib/E
Tandy Angel isn't a normal girl, and she knows it. For one thing, her family is magnificently wealthy and lives in a massive apartment in the famous Dakota building in New York City. Her parents are the head of a prominent hedge fund and the CEO of a large pharmaceutical company. She has been told from a very young age that her detachment from any kind of emotion is a superb trait. In fact, her parents have tried to cultivate a lack of emotion in all four of their children in order to encourage perfection of the highest level.
But now the four siblings are tested in a way they never imagined-their parents have been murdered, and the kids are the number one suspect. Tandy decides that she will have to solve the crime and clear their names, but digging deeper into her parent's affairs is a dangerous-and revealing-game. Spurred by her findings, Tandy begins to remember flashes of past events that were long ago buried in her memory, and she's suddenly unable to trust anyone, not even her siblings, to tell her the truth. She might not even be able to trust herself. Who knows what the Angel children are truly capable of?
