Setting

The setting of the books takes place in New York. The Angel kids live in a nice set of up scale apartments called The Dakota in New York City. I think that the setting plays a big part in The Confessions, The Private School Murders because it's a book about crime and mystery and when I think of books about crime and murder I think about New York City. A lot of crime shoes are set in New York so I automatically think of crime scene shows and crime books when I think of New York. I haven't been to New York so I can't give a good comparison between what it really looks like and the authors descriptions, but from what he describes I can picture what he is saying very well. The Angels have a weird style for their home and I think that the author gives us a good description of what their apartment looks like. "Hugo in the Pork Chair-a pink chair with hooves for feet that he loved." You wouldn't expect to walk into a high class families living room and see a chair that is a pig. Overall I think the setting is very good.
