Gregg Olsen: BETRAYAL


This book talks about the investigation of the murder of Olivia Grant.  Firstly, Gregg Olsen, the author, told us how Olivia was killed in the Halloween party.  Throughout all the investigation, it was told that Brianna was the prime suspect in everyone’s eyes, but when Brianna was found killed, people at first thought she committed suicide.  They were wrong and it was Drew who killed her and he killed her for Brianna’s mom, whom he had loved.
Through this book, Gregg Olsen told us what betrayal is which is found that actually Brianna’s mom wanted to murder her daughter just for the sake of the insurance money after her death and she asked Drew, Brianna’s boyfriend to murder her at Halloween.  However, Drew mistook Olivia as Brianna and killed her instead.  Then, he tricked Brianna into escaping and strangled, tortured her to death.  I was really shocked to see that Brianna’s mom, who left the family for another husband, betrayed her daughter just for money.  Also, due to her selfishness, innocent Olivia was killed by mistake. 
Also, this book taught us not to see people by appearance.  Though Brianna act if she didn't care about the murder and everyone thought that she was the killer, but unexpectedly it’s her mom.
The way Gregg Olsen wrote in the eyes of Olivia Grant at the murder scene made me feel totally into the book and also made me curious on the murderer.  The plot of this book is also really marvelous as it created an ending of which is unexpected.  Therefore, I really love Betrayal and hope you can enjoy it too.
