BR 6-13: One-Way Ticket

-

'Nice hands,' she thought. He wore a very expensive Japanese watch. 'Japan,' she thought. 'I'd like to go to Japan.' She looked up and saw the man's eyes again over the top of his newspaper. This time she did not look away. Green eyes looked into dark brown eyes for a long, slow minute. (p.5)


This week, I read this book, "One-Way Ticket".

This book includes three short stories: "The Girl with Green Eyes", "South for the Winter", and "Mr Harris and the Night Train". This time, I would like to introduce the first one, "The Girl with Green Eyes".

The main character of this story is Julie. She is traveling with her husband, Bill, on a train. However, Julie is very bored because Bill is always talking to the people they are seated with. In addition, the destination is not a place Julie wants to go, so she is not looking forward to the trip. She reads a newspaper that the man sitting in front of her has and tries to kill time. Then, Julie makes eye contact with the man holding the newspaper. He smiles at Julie, and....

This story is a romance, but the other two stories are in a different genre. However, these stories have one thing in common. That is the "one way ticket". If you are interested in it, I recommend you to read it.

     This week, I read this book, "Dead Cold." I heard the review of this book a few weeks before, so I could read this easier. One night, a woman was found at a pool of a hotel. She was died. Detective Flick Laine was offered to find the killer. The dead woman was 23 years old, and had a dream to be a journalist. But she was killed by someone... Who killed her? Why killed her? Finding killer, detective Flick found some big story... It was s suspense story (there are so many suspense in this series!), so it is a little difficult, but someone would like these types of story, I think. Sue, Leather. (2006). Dead Cold.  Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
