When she drives her motor bicycle, she saw bank robbers in the next car. She was afraid and falls down. She is taken to a hospital and it takes time to wake up. After leaving the hospital, she starts preparing for the exhibition, but the bank robbers go after her. Sometimes she is in danger, but she doesn't notice it because she can't remember the memory of the accidents...

     This is Cambridge English Readers series. It is more interesting than other stories because two different stories are going together. First one is the accident and bank robbers. second one is love of Christina and Philip, another museum's representative. In the middle of the book, the two stories' plots are matched. I'm sure you enjoy reading it.

Bad company

'They've found Engel's room key and her laptop,' he told Shepherd. (p. 38)

「bad company cambridge」の画像検索結果     Detective Inspector Shepherd is busy looking into crimes. One day, a body is found in a beach. That is Claudia Engel. She is an able person in a music company and she stays a hotel with her colleges, but she is hated by them because of her relationship and arrogance. Before she is killed, she leaves some secret information on her laptop and someone hides it... Maybe you can guess the story plot because it is much easier to solve the matter than other books. Therefore, I thought it wasn't worth reading this book many times. However, it may improve your reading speed up.


    This is Cambridge English Readers series. I think most of this series are fiction...I want to read nonfiction books like historical incidents.
