Confessions: The Private School Murders

By: James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Narrated by: Emma Galvin

In the sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Confessions of a Murder Suspect, James Patterson keeps the confessions coming breathlessly as Tandy Angel delves deeper into her own dark history.

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?

best book series

it is a really good book series and I don't like to read but this book was really good.

awesome

An excellent story, i couldnt put the book down. it just kept getting better and better

Private School Murders

The voice of the narrator was something like an irritation to my ears so I had to really focus to listen to the series. Good story.

loving the storyline!

I love a good female lead who feels honest. The internal struggle we all feel mixed with strength we all tap into when we need to. This is why I love reading Patterson's books. No matter who he is writing about, he can tap into the honesty of internal struggles with such alluring ways as to make you want to know what happens to this characters future. It makes me need to read each next book. Keep it up Patterson! My family loves your stories! Kids, teens and adults in this family are hooked on Patterson's books!

GOOD! But James....

What made the experience of listening to Confessions: The Private School Murders the most enjoyable?

I love James Patterson's way of explaining Tandy's point of view, getting inside her head. I love how he paints the image of characters.

What other book might you compare Confessions: The Private School Murders to and why?

I would compare this book to the last, only almost better. The first is nostalgic.

Which scene was your favorite?

I especially enjoy Matthew's court scenes, as well as

#####SPOILER ALERT######

His welcome home scene, it is a very special moment.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Tandy's moments in the story made me laugh, but no crying.

Any additional comments?

Tandoori's boyfriend James is talked about WAY too much. It personally left me taking a star off, almost another one. It was very repetitive every chapter to hear about James.

Good book

I really enjoyed the book a good one to listen to. James Patterson ' books are always good

Loved it!

I shows this series because Emma Galvin was the narrator. Emma Galvin is amazing at bring books to life and once again did a wonderful job with this book. The story itself drew me in from the beginning and was sad to see it end.

Amazing

I can never get tired of this series. I always read it but hearing the story made it so much better.

WONDERFUL AUTHOR, AND SUPERB STORY LINE

I NOTICED THAT ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS WERE NEGATIVE FOR THIS BOOK. I HAVE COME TO BELIEVE AFTER LISTENING TO THE SECOND BOOK OF THE SERIES, THAT YOU MUST READ THE FIRST; WHICH I HAD DONE A DAY AGO. THE TWO BOOKS WORK SEAMLESSLY TOGETHER. IF YOU TAKE THE SECOND BOOK, OF AND BY ITSELF, YOU REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CHARACTERS HAVE SUFFERED UNDER THEIR PARENTS WHICH IS SPELLED OUT IN DETAIL IN A WONDERFUL MYSTERY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PUT INTO ONE BOOK, BUT IT WOULD BE AN OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE ONE. I THINK JAMES AND THE NARRATOR DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND I REALLY LOVED THE STORY LINE AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PROTAGONIST. IT IS A CLEAN, FUNNY AT TIMES, WONDERFUL LIST OF CHARACTERS THAT MAKE UP THE ANGEL FAMILY. PLEASE DO READ "CONFESSIONS OF A MURDER SUSPECT" BEFORE YOU READ "CONFESSIONS: THE PRIVATE SCHOOL MURDERS". THIS REALLY IS A RED HERRING TITLE IN MY OPINION, FOR THEY REALLY ARE NOT IN SCHOOL THAT OFTEN, BUT SCHOOL DOES PLAY A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE PROTAGONIST FLOWERING RETURN OF HER MEMORY ~~WHICH WAS STOLEN THAT PLAYS OUT OF THE WHYS AND WAYS IT ALL HAPPENED IN "CONFESSIONS OF A MURDER SUSPECT".

JAMES, YOU DID A GREAT JOB IN HOLDING DOWN THE UNTOWARD LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS, THAT SO HAMPER YOU SINCE YOU STARTED WRITING WITH OTHER AUTHORS. MAXINE, THANK THE LORD, DID A FINE JOB IN KEEPING IT CLEAN SO YOUR KIDS COULD LISTEN TO THIS STORY ON A TRIP AS A FAMILY. KEEP THE SERIES GOING WITH THE ANGEL CHILDREN AS THEY TRULY ARE A REMARKABLE FAMILY.

Much Better Than The First in This Series!

Any additional comments?

I loved Tandy's stronger attitude, despite the fact that she felt she was an emotional fool at times, it was better than being a robot. She solved many a crime this time also. There were so many different storylines that I thought the wrap up would be sloppy and rushed, but I was wrong. This book also answered many of my questions from the first book too, which was great.

Although this book wrapped a lot of things up nicely, there was a left enough of a cliffhanger to want to move on to the next, which I believe is successful from an author's standpoint.
