Book Review1-5

This book’s title is Love or Money. On a Saturday Molly Clarkson was celebrating her 50th birthday. All her relatives had come. Diane, Jackie and Roger were her children and her brother Albert. They were all used to asking Molly for money, except Jackie, who still lived with her mother. But she refused saying that no one would get money any more from her. They were quite upset and angry. The next morning Roger was woken up by a cry from his mother’s room. When he got there he saw Diane coming out, who had just found her mother dead. The police came quickly to the scene and started their investigation. Detective Inspector Walsh and Sergeant Foster did the questioning. Albert, Jackie, Roger Diana told that each detail in turn. The detectives also interviewed Peter Hobbs, the neighbor. He told them that Jackie had asked him to say that he wanted to kill Molly. He did not want to say who the young girl in the picture was. The police went back to the Clarkson’s house and Inspector Walsh said he knew who murdered Molly Clarkson. His theory was as follows. Jackie had wanted Peter Hobbs to come to the house. Peter had gotten a letter from Molly and was very angry about it. He said he wanted to kill her and Jackie had wanted everyone to hear that. Jackie was arrested and taken to the police station. （238wards）
