Our murder suspect narrator is one Tandoori "Tandy" Angel, and yes, she is named after the South Asian food making oven. Tandy is one member of the famed Angel family of Manhattan. Malcolm, the dad, is one of two brothers that own the super successful Angel Pharmaceuticals and Maude, the mom, is a successful hedge fund manager. And that is just the parents! Eldest sibling Matty is a Heisman Award winning NFL football player, her twin brother Harry is an artistic and musical virtuoso, and their youngest brother Hugo is a 10-year-old whiz kid. Tandy, herself, can hold her own as she is both intelligent and driven. Their father said that with Matty's charisma he could one day be President, but with Tandy's talents she will be.
Tandy is an interesting narrator, who uses a very conversational style as she relates the story to the reader. In fact, she seems to make it clear that she is peeling the story like an onion because she has to build up a trust in us in order to get a sense what she would be comfortable to share with us readers. She has also taken it upon herself to be a novice detective. She feels that she has to solve her parents murders not only to bring about justice and protect herself and her siblings, but also because she has always had an interest in one day becoming a detective herself.
This is a fantastic book and I can't wait to read the next in the series!
