"Somewhere in Crime" by Dave McVeigh and Jim Bolone

I picked up "Somewhere in Crime" by Dave McVeigh and Jim Bolone while we were on Mackinac Island.  It was a perfect book to read in the area where the book was based.

A bit about the book...  It is a book about a young boy staying on Mackinac Island and trying to solve an unsolved murder, while the filming of the legendary film "Somewhere in Time" is going on.  The entire book is pure fiction, EXCEPT for the movie.  The movie (and it's stars) are legendary, but the story in the book is all made up.

I love the movie, and figured this would be a lot of fun to read while in the same area described in the book.  I was right.  I got my copy at the great book store "Island Bookstore" while there.

This is a really fun read from a 1979 perspective of a 12 year old boy on the Island.  He and some friends realize there is an unsolved murder, reward money, a cute new girl on the island, AND some A list actors are around to make a movie!

It is a very fun adventure, and had a great flow to it.  Its an easy 300 page read, and its the kind of book that keeps you interested, and feels believable.
