Customer Reviews

It was great

King of Murder is a great mytery. The king of Murder is about Herculeah Jones and her best friend Meat. (His real name is Albert but Herculeah calls him Meat as a nickname) An author in the book Mathias King writes murder mysteries such as slash of life and sip of death. Herculeah is suspicious of him people read his books and say "It's almost like he really committed the murder". During the book Herculeah has to go through secret passageways, Meeting new people, and solving a crime. I think this is one of Betsy Byars best. You think you have solved the case but then it takes a turn and you find out you are completely wrong. I was so surprised about the ending. While I was reading it I couldn't put it down. I'm a slow reader but I read this book so fast because I liked it so much. So in the end I really liked this book.
