What I think

• • • I think that the suspense novel is very specially. I will look from a spy's angle. I want to discover the answer fast. What is Dead Mans Island? Who is the Dead Man? I think Carol Sanders inside this story is acting a very important role.

• She knows some clues one after another. • I think the people in this story unusual suspiciousness. • They are unable to understand. • Step by step tells us the truth because of Carol Sanders.

• Because she has also experienced some matters. • These matters are the secrets which she wants to hide. • When she knows the truth，she chooses keep the secret for him. • I think that each people have don’t want to let the secret be known. • Perhaps if I am Carol Sanders，I don’t have the courage to open the truth.
