A Corpse in the Basement (Thumbprint Mysteries Series)

Rating:
Summary: Not for the mystery fan.
Review: This may be adequate for the ESL reader, but I think instructors could easily find better stories. The book is primarily dialogue, with very little description to flesh the plot. The author never gives enough details to make you identify with the characters. You never understand why the main character, Annie Johnson, had dated the older man that is found dead in her basment. And frankly, you find that you don't care and wish you hadn't wasted your time and money.
