RESPONSE:
In my book, called "The Innocent Man", a crime takes place in Ada Oklohoma. A woman named Debbie has been brutally raped and murdered. The crime is just unfolding, and a man named Ron Williamson is suspected to be somehow involved. He was just a would-be baseball star, said to be the next Mickey Mantle. A bit spoiled by his family, he is gifted with natural charm and gets almost whatever he wants. He was about to become famous as a professional baseball player. That is, until his dreams were broken by booze, drugs, and girls.
This book is a bit confusing, but all books are in the beginning. Sometimes the author gives hints or even states what happens in the future. I think Ron should take better care of himself. He lets himself go with all of the beer and sometimes celebrates winning too much. Instead I would have a brief celebration then get ready for the next game. I'm a bit bothered at the idea of a woman getting raped and murdured shortly afterwards. It is a bad way to end life. It also surprised me because it's the first time I've read something this serious. I think next, Ron's life will be explained more and that more of the crime will be solved.
