The Black Tortoise: A Peter Strand Mystery by Ronald Tierney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is part of the "Rapid Reads" series which is aimed at adult literacy or ESL. I'm quite fond of this series as it manages to bring entertaining stories to adults while remaining at an elementary reading level. This particular book is one of the highest levels I've read in the series at a Grade 4 reading vocabulary. A good detailed mystery involving a forensic accountant working for a private organization. His look into a non-profit's books leads him to a murder investigation. A solid story and well-written within the confines of the limited allowable vocabulary.I'd certainly read more by this author.
The mix of a story and adult literary is a good one.
