In honor of Confessions: The Private School Murders being released today (October 7, 2013), I've decided to post the first book in the Confessions series, Confessions of a Murder Suspect. The book is in first person from Tandy's point of view. I only have the book as an ebook, so no page numbers. Also, I've decided that I won't be posting quotes from new books until at least a month after they've been released. I'm doing this to try to avoid spoiling things too much. Confessions of a Murder Suspect is written by James Patterson. Enjoy!

""Open up, or my partner will kick down the door!" Hatchet Face called out.
It is no exaggeration to say that my whole family was about to get a wake-up call from hell. But all I was thinking at that particular moment was that the police could not kick down the door. This was the Dakota. We could get evicted for allowing someone to disturb the peace." (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"Such as: He knows about the time I put my foot through his TV scren.
On purpose. Or so I'm told.
I don't even remember it. But I know it happened because one day I was the best lacrosse player at All Saints, and the next I woke up in the hospital with fifty stitches in my foot and leg.
In the hospital, Malcolm's and Maud's faces had looked at me without sympathy. Maud said she never thought lacrosse was good for me, anyway. (I would never play again.) Malcolm announced that my Big Chop was going to be repairing Robert so that he was as good as new. (My efforts were, sadly, flawed; that's why Robert only watches static these days.)" (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"That did not go over well with Matty. To say the least." (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"I never heard our mother call Harry "my angel" again. And for a long time, he was referred to as "the boy we found on the boardwalk."
I was three, and three was all about meeeee." (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"I have to admit that by that point I had already become obsessed with solving my parents' murders. I should also admit that I'm a bit obsessive compulsive anyway." (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"There was aonther framed item that I rarely passed without stopping to read it again. It was an envelope and letter from Hilda Angel-my father's mother-who died just before Malcolm and Maud were married.
Apparently, Gram Hilda had not approved of the marriage.
She had scrawled on the back of the envelope, "Do not open until my will has been read."
After the reading of her will, the letter was opened. It was in my grandmother's handwriting, and it was signed and notarized. Even the notary's signature had been notarized. It read:
"I am leaving Malcolm and Maud $100, because I feel that is all that they deserve."" (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
""Painting is for sissies. Piano is for wimps. Singing is for girly-men. I'm quoting them now."" (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"At which point I probably kicked him in the shins." (Confessions: Book 1: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, by James Patterson)
"I don't use the word hate lightly. In fact, I can't think of another person I hate as much as Morris Sampson.
