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 tumultuous
history-and proves that she can rise above the sordid Angel legacy.
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?

Life hasn't been easy lately for twelve-year-old Allie Carroway.
Not only does she have to be careful about what she eats and keep
her asthma treatment with her at all times, but rumor has it that
if she has one more serious asthma attack, her family may move to
Arizona-far away from the Louisiana Bayou and the extended family
that she loves and stars with in the reality TV show, Carried Away
with the Carroways. And now would be a terrible time to go. Uncle
Wayne and Aunt Kassie are about to adopt twelve-year-old Hunter-the
first boy to join the Carroway family in a long time. Allie and her
cousins-Kendall, Ruby, and Lola-have never allowed a boy to set
foot in their treehouse meeting place, the "Diva Duck Blind." And
if Allie's cousins have any say, they'll keep it that way. But
Allie can't ignore that still, small voice inside her, telling her
things must change if Hunter is to be honored and accepted into the
family. The cousins devise an initiation for Hunter at Mamaw and
Papaw's house with four challenges-Louisiana bayou style-including
frogs, hunting, and a scary shed rumored to be the place where a
mysterious long lost uncle disappeared. A blackout on the bayou the
night of the initiation heightens the stakes when Hunter goes
missing, and Allie and the girls must face unfamiliar obstacles to
bring the family back together. This series explores the nature of
a family filled with social, cultural, and physical diversity. In a
world splashed with class and camouflage, the cousins are
constantly looking for ways to love unconditionally through all the
hiccups, with the love and faith of family.
