YA-Review-"Behind The Curtain" by, Peter Abrahams

Behind The Curtain An Echo Falls Mystery by, Peter Abrahams.
This was a really cute book,the heroine's name is Ingrid and she is in Middle School.Her favorite books to read are Sherlock Holmes.She's already solved one crime in her town but this time the criminals are making it look like she is making the whole thing up so she sets out to clear her name, and save her dad's job.Very well written 4 Stars.
This is the second book in the series and I will be getting the 1st and the 3rd soon!

The Killer's Wife by,Bill Floyd 5 Stars

The Killer's Wife by,Bill Floyd.What if the person you were married to and having a child with turned out to be a cold-blooded serial killer?What do you say to the victim's families?What do you say when they ask how you could not know?
That is the main concept of this book;the story starts 6 years after her husbands conviction where he has been sentenced to death.Nina has changed her name moved across the country and tried to forget the awful past and raise her son to be a good person.But the past has caught up with her and the ramifications could be fatal.
This is a compelling read.I couldn't put it down.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery or psychological thriller!

What I'm Reading Now Non-Fiction...

The Book is "Flim-Flam Man,A True Family History"by,Jennifer Vogel.This is an interesting story about a con mans life and the effect on his family,But it is extremely wordy for instance the first sentence in the book is 27 words long.To me it just doesn't flow you find yourself skimming through alot to get to the meat of the story.2 Stars.
