The Amsterdam Connection(Chapter1~Chapter2)

Summary:

Kate, a reporter who only wants to write about crime. He worked very hard for a long time, so his friend Max suggested him to have a holiday. But when Kate just planted to travel, he received the news of Max’s dead. Max was found lying dead in an Amsterdam street with twenty knife wounds in his body. Kate felt a little bit scare, because he thought Max’s dead is due to him. When Kate first started as a reporter, he wanted to write the biggest story. So he wanted to catch the big fish, Johnny McGraw, one of Manchester’s most dangerous criminals. But that put Kate‘s life in danger. Max wanted to rescue him, so he put his own life in danger, too. Max came to an arrangement with McGraw and McGraw let Kate go. As a result of this case, Kate thought Max’s dead probably had relationship with him. So he decided to survey this case by himself.

Reflection:

I felt Kate is the criminal in the beginging; because I thought he probably kills Max due to write wonderful news about crime. But when I read the second chapter, I changed my mind; I thought McGraw is more suspect than Kate.

I think this novel is very attracted me to continuously read it. I am going to keep on read it more. I also learned some good sentence. For example: he was found lying dead in an Amsterdam street with twenty knife wounds in his body. I learned how to describe a crime scene. I wanted to cry but l couldn’t. It’s a very easy sentence, but it teaches me how to express my emotion. So I will keep on read it more.
