I have just finished reading a fantastic book called 'Knots and Crosses'. The book was written by Ian Rankin. This was a crime story and was set in and around Scotland's capital city. (Edinburgh).
The story wasabout an investigation into the kidnap and murder of three young people. One police officer who was the only one who had any clues to the investigation was about to be put through total physical and emotional torture. It all started after a police officer started to recieving hand delivered messages that each contained a different short hand written message, pieces of knotted string and crosses made from matchsticks. This was apuzzle that only one person knew the answer to. As the story went on all the pieces of the investigation started to become clear and soon the police would solve the case. With the police so near to solving the investigation, noone expecting what happened next, another murder this time the son of qa police detective and another kidnap this time it was the daughter of a policeman. Was there a happy ending to this story? Read the book and find out i would highly recommend it.
This was a fantastic story, being from the Edinburgh area myself i could place myself in everyplace that was mentioned in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone but especially those of you who like all the crime related stories. I would give this book a star rating of five, top marks that are well desereved.
Six Book Challenge
26 ABE students have completed the Six Book Challenge for 2009. For the bloggers who took the challenge last year, this meant thinking how they could make the task more challenging. This may have been about reading longer, more complex books or about thinking more critically about the books when writing their reviews.
