King's Ransom

This Book is about kidnapping a little kid for $500,000. The kid is the son of Douglas King, a rich tycoon with money. However, they are too idiotic that they kidnapped the wrong kid, who is the kid of Charles Reynolds, chauffeur to Douglas Kind. The kid's name is Jeffrey Reynolds. In the end, King choked the kidnapper instead of giving money.

In the end it was a good day.#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris#pray4paris

hello! the book i read this week is "ghost stories." there are six different short stories in this book but i'm only going to talk about one story.
the story i thought was very interesting is the story called "smee." smee is the name of the game that 12 people played together. it's a game quite similar to hide and seek but much more fun. this game is played around the whole house in the dark. there was a group of friends who played the game in a house on christmas. at first, there were only 12 players but as they re-counted the number of players in the middle of the game, there were 13 people... the 13th player's name was Brenda Ford, and Brenda Ford is the name of the girl who played the same game a long time ago. she opened a door that led to the servant's staircase and opened the door, thinking it was the bathroom, and jumped in. she landed on the bottom of the stairs with a broken neck and died.
that's it for the summary for this story, bye!

This book is about a man named Carruthers who was working at his office during a summer holiday while his friends were enjoying parties. As the parties broke up, it would s time for Carruthers to have his holiday. The problem is that he doesn't have any plans to go anywhere. Then he got a letter from his old friend named Davies to go on a trip in a yacht called the dulicbella. That's when things get interesting. Read the book to find out more

Hi guys! My book is "the university murders"

This murder story is set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Inspector Jenny Logan listens to Billy Marr’s confession of murder; she doesn’t believe him as Marr is a sad, hopeless character and constantly wastes police time. But a body matching the description given by Marr is found on Calton Hill. Logan and her sergeant, Grant, investigate. The victim is a twenty- five-year-old woman, cause of death: strangulation.
Then another murder happened. Frances Stewart, is reported missing. Logan learns from Stewart’s landlady that Stewart was at a party organised by Kenneth Henderson, her research supervisor. Logan questions Henderson, who confirms that Stewart was at the party. Stewart is found murdered; forensic evidence is similar to that of the first murder.
Fortunately, the story finishes with the police doctor confirming
that all the evidence answers towards Ramsay as the double murderer. Logan questions Billy Marr again, who still admits to the first murder, but in fact the victim, Rutherford, was already dead when Billy saw her.
