High Life, Low life (Book 3)


The book was written by Alan Battersby. It is thriller. The story happened at Grand Central Station, New York in early morning in mid-July. Nat, a private investigator, saved an old woman who was Annie, one of the homeless people at the station. Nat helped Annie to see her son Jackie before she would have died. Annie left Jackie a surprising present to give him a good future. Nat didn’t want to become a millionaire from Whithaket. However, Whithaket was murdered, and Nat found the killer, who was Whithaket’s maid, Martha.
I liked this book because it was interesting, well-written, and mysterious. First, I wanted to know what present Annie gave Jackie, who the killer was, and why it happened. These things kept me interested in the book. Second, I liked these words, sentences, and paragraphs. They could improve my reading and writing because the author wrote them well. Third, after reading the book, I became aware of this story’s mystery. Martha murdered Whithaket for getting her money to become a millionaire, so Martha was in jail. Annie left Jackie a present that was a lot of money. Jackie put the money for a building, which provided comfortable rooms for the homeless women of this city.
This book tells us: If we are in the low life, we shouldn’t steal or murder for getting money that is a terrible crime; if we are in the high life, we should put our money to help poor people improve their lives. That is good idea because we will have fun.
