This book was about a girl who loved to read books but this man was looking at the books she read because there were notes in them and he didn't want anyone to find out that he had murdered his wife. To get these books he would stalk her and follow her to her house and one day he tried to break in the house when no one was there but she managed to get out and the police arrested him!
