Protagonist

In the book I'm reading, "The Fourth Day", Jim Balfour is developing to be the protagonist. He recently just learned about 3 murders that are similar to his friends death. Jim is the guy who wants to crack this case. No one knows who these murderers are but Jim is determined to figure it out. As of now he has very little knowledge and explanation or motives for this killer. His work is in the early stages right now. Jim is the kind of man who is very down to earth. But he knows that when 3 people are killed around the time of different golf events thats not coincidental. I am really excited to keep reading and find out if he is able to solve the mystery. My prediction is that the guy on the tour had an affair with eaach of these people and then just killed them. There are parts in the book where in talks in someother persons presepctive. I am almost postive it is the killer because he discuss how murder is easy, and about different golf tournaments. Also I recently read a part where he discusses that he was sexually abused as a child by his father. Motive? I think so. Jim just has to discover this information to become the hero.

Murder Mysterys

People often ask me, what is your favorite type of mystery? My response: "A murder mystery, easily." Why? Well theres nothing like sitting on the couch on a rainy day and finding a good murder mystery book that keeps you so hooked that you can't put it down until you solve the mystery. I think I just found the perfect book. I am 40 pages into and someone has already been murdered. Whats to come next? All I can say is that I would never guess for my Grandpa to be such a good writer. In this blog I'm going to make some connections to my life/family life. So the main characters name is Jim? That is my grandpas name. The whole idea of the book being revolved around golf? My grandpas favorite sport, next to baseball of course. In the book he goes to some resteraunt named like Quinlans Bar or something. Thats his dogs name. Also in the book him and his girlfriend Jennifer have been dating a long time but aren't married. My grandpa has been dating Kathy since I was born but they are not married. Also Jennifer often talks about how Jim and Napolean, Jim's dog, are so close that he would basically do anything for it. That is extremely true about my grandpa and his dog. Jim lives in Detriot in the book, when my grandpa wrote this that was where he lived. He also goes out to visit his dad in Florida, which he says is his favorite place. That is where my grandpa currently lives. Its almost funny when I read some of this because I can just see my grandpa writing this out. Its amazing how his writing is alot similiar to how he is as a person. And how the main character is so similar to him.

The Fourth Day

My outside reading book that I chose for this quarter is The Fourth Day, by Jim Quigley. I chose this book because my grandpa wrote it and I have been wanting to read it since then. He wrote it about 6 years ago but at the time I was to young to read it. This is book is about golf, murders and romance (everything I should not have read 6 years ago hence why I am reading it now). I am really looking forward to this book because my mom has said nothing but good things about it. That could just be cause it was her dad that wrote it.... I hope she has sincere meaning to it otherwise I will be in for a long 287 pages. This will hopefully be a book that I really enjoy.
