Book Club is Driving Me Insane

Ok so we have to be in a four person book club in honers english and we have had the hardest time getting our hands on a book by an english author, that is at our level, and we haven't read before. So we first chose 1984 by George Orwell, but guess what its by an English author. Then we chose catch 22, but it was very inapropriate. The next book we chose was Message in a bottle by Nicholas Sparks, but that was also very inapropriate. Finally I found a book "called Pretend You Don't See Her" by Mary Higgins Clark and I think this one is a keeper. Its about a young girl who witnesses a murder and in the victims last words she tells the girl to take her daughters journal because it has very volitile information in it. She takes the journal to the police, but not before she makes a copy of her own. The killer soon finds out she has the journel and is trying to seek her out so he/she can kill her as well. I'm really excited I love suspense!
