53 Days by Georges Perec is an exciting murder mystery that has a rollercoaster of different aspects and plot twists. 53 Days is about a teacher who is assigned the task to help solve the mystery of an outspoken author who has suddenly disappeared. However‚ the book is not finished because the writer died before he could finish it‚ but left detailed notes of his planned 28 chapters. I recommend this book for young adults and readers who have a sweet tooth for a murder mystery. A normal teacher
