Clouded Vision by Linwood Barclay

This is a murder mystery and suspense story. The main characters are Melissa, Keisha Ceylon and Wendell Garfield.

The victim tells the reader of her injury and describes her whereabouts to set the scene. From then on, you are left in suspense as to who actually did the act; even at the end I was still confused.

I loved this book. I found it easy to read. Curiosity made me keep on reading to the next chapter even though I wanted to sleep! As for the ending, I was amazed – frightened, stunned, in fact a little disappointed.

The book excited me and when I told my husband and children around the dinner table, they said, “It was as though I was there.”

'A Woman on her Own' is written by Margaret Fulcher. I think this book was pleasant to read and interesting to know that it is never too late to go to school. I have rated this book 4 ****

White Chin

I chose this book because I love cats. The book is about the cat White Chin who was abandoned in the woods. He was very frightened. It's about how he survived in the woods and met a girl and found his lovely new home in the end.

If you are a cat person you will love the book. It is amazing. It is also emotional.

Chicken Feed

The title of the book I read was Chicken Feed. The author of the book is Minette Walter. It was a thrilling story and a true story from December 1924. I thought the story was very good.
