Summary: The Book That Keeps You On The Edge Of Your Seat The Whole T
Comment: I found the book "The Killer's Cousin" very satisfying. It is about a seventeen year old boy, David Yaffe, who is convicted of killing his girlfriend and is therefore sent to live with his aunt and uncle. While David is there he discover's that his aunt does not like him and the many mysteries of his 11 year old cousin Lily. The longer that David is there the more he begins to notice Lily. She begins to sabotage David's attic apartment day by day. Lily crashes his computer, empties all of the food from David's fridge and many more little tricks. Until one night David goes to confront his aunt and uncle about what Lily has been doing and all they can do is disagree with them and threat to kick him out of the house if he keeps on making up these lies. So now nobody will believe him and Lily keeps on harassing David. In the end he discovers a secret that has been kept inside for a very long time. I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in mysteries because you are always wondering what is going to happen next. For example, they will give out bits and bits of information until finally they come to the conclusion. "The Killer's Cousin" was one of the best books that I have ever read.
