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.

I recommend this book for young adults and readers who have a sweet tooth for a murder mystery. A normal teacher
