The first book in a new series by the authors of the Women's Murder Club, this is an action, adventure, sci-fi, thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Sixteen-year-old Tandy Angel awakes to bedlam the morning her parents are discovered dead. As if becoming a sudden orphan weren't enough: the doors were locked and she, her two brothers, and her mother's personal assistant are the only suspects. Tandy can't believe that her twin, Harry, or baby brother, Hugo, could murder their parents. She's not so convinced that she wouldn't do it herself...but why can't she remember? Mysteries around every corner, and plenty of questions to be answered in the next book in the series! Recommended for readers who love mystery and crime novels and readers who enjoyed Maximum Ride. Grade 8 and up!
From the publisher: On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, Tandy Angel knows just three things: 1) She was the last person to see her parents alive. 2) The police have no suspects besides Tandy and her three siblings. 3) She can't trust anyone--maybe not even herself. Having grown up under Malcolm and Maud's intense perfectionist demands, no child comes away undamaged. Tandy decides that she will have to clear the family name, but digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs is a dangerous-and revealing-game. Who knows what the Angels are truly capable of?
