"Curiosity Killed the Cat"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
While Sue Bentley is baby-sitting 5-year-old Adam Anderson one night, she finds a $100,000 check hidden in her employer's house. This makes her highly suspicious of them, so she starts snooping through their things. Besides being tremendously nosy, I couldn't figure out her motivation for prying into their past. Still, her intuition and persistence does pay off when she uncovers a previous murder and current blackmailing scheme. The mystery is well hidden until close to the end, leaving the story open for a possible sequel."A Killer in the House" isn't my favorite out of the four books in this series, but it is worth reading if you liked the others--"Alone in the Dark" by Daniel Parker, "The Evil Child" by M. C. Sumner, and "Lights Out" by Bernard O'Keane--though you don't have to read them in order since Baby-sitter's Nightmares isn't a sequential series.
The story was nice and catching from start till end.

Most book start slowly. The story has to be built up. This books is exciting from start till end. The caracters in the book are well balanced. You really have to read the whole book, before you will understand the story. (Tycho, aged 10)
