    Ruth Author and Title The book is named for its main character‚ Ruth‚ a Moabite widow who married the Bethlehemite Boaz.

    Kyuem book report The book I choose was a story entitled‚ ‘Star Trap’ by Simon Brett. IT was published in 1982. I choose this book because I like detective novels.

As I keep on reading the story‚ more and more questions keep on rehearsing my mind as I try to solve the case as well
