Blood on my Hands

My second book is “Blood on my Hands”, written by Tod Strasser. He is born 1950 in the USA and a famous writer, his most popular book is the Wave. “Blood on my Hands” is a mystery story about a murder.

The book is about a girl named Callie who got accused for murder. In the beginning at high school party, Katherine is missing. While everyone is looking for her, Callie sees her at the baseball field on the ground. She sees a knife wedged into her side and thinks it must be faked, but it isn’t. Callie realizes that after she pulls out the knife. When people see this they snapped a picture of it. She is now wanted and on the run. Many questions are asked, for example if it has actually been Callie, who murdered Katherine, if anybody planed it with her and where Callie is.

I liked the first book I read, “The Book Thief”, more, because it’s better written. “Blood on my Hands” is a book for girls, I think.

To conclude, the story of the book is quite good, but the implementation isn’t. It’s sometimes really boring and especially in the end foreseeable. I would recommend it to girls between 14 and 16 years.
