Question 12: What is an exciting or horrifiying or sad or funny part of what you have read?
Since the genre of this story is horror, there really are some horrifying parts of the story which is when Mary, the main character who was betrayed with her baby from her husband, killed his husband with one swing using the frozen lamb. That was horrifying part not just because of the murder scene becasue I found very different two sides of mary's personalities. Before she had had serious conversation with her husband, she was described as kind and sweet wife who always support husband and help him. However, she turned into very evil murder who eventually hid every proves that from the criminal after she murdered husband and pretended that she is innocent.
