Password: Murder

by Norah McClintock

Harley slides the password into the slot. When the red light turns green he punches in a six-digit code. It better be right. If it's not...When Harley's father dies in a car accident in which Harley was the driver, he's left to cope with the guilt of causing his father's death. But as Harley begins to piece together fragments of memories about the accident, he realizes that maybe it wasn't an accident after all. Elements from Shakespeare's Hamlet tease their way into the story, as Harley begins to suspect that his father's business partner - now married to his mother - may have been responsible.

2.5 el final era predecible desde el primer capítulo y siento que han metido una unidad de elemento sobrenatural únicamente porque no sabían cómo hacer que avanzara la trama si no.

Not the most engaging of McClintock's books, but definitely a good read. Just not my favorite.

Thought it was well written, with twists and turns. Harley was not feeling well. Especially after his dad passed away. I recommend it

Me ha gustado mucho este libro, sin duda uno de mis favoritos sobre misterio. Siendo sincera nunca había confiado en C.J King, me caía mal y encima lo que le hace a mi Harley. Es para matarlo con una sobredosis de pastillas >:D. Rat y Harley me han ganado, están en mi corazón, ¡guapos!. Y el Steven Dorion, ese si que hay que matarlo. Paul Jacovizt y su hijo me caen mal, literalmente.
Me ha gustado que en el libro haya un giro por parte de algunos personajes, aunque yo al principio, con mi don de intuición, no confiaba ni los creía.
Recomiendo mucho este libro si te gusta el misterio.

The day Harley got his learner's permit, he convinced his dad to let him drive. It's a day Harley will never forget.
