Thanks for this tip. Now I can read and know that I'm supposed to know who the bad guy is. I was getting discouraged because I thought it was too "easy" to figure out the bad guy, when all along I was supposed to!

I'm been reading both types of books for years and it's nice to know the difference! I like both kinds of books equally. They are different yet equally good! Thanks for the "lesson"!Valrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236208798647610850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-46565545038813198542013-01-07T07:36:35.328-08:002013-01-07T07:36:35.328-08:00Richard,
