The book I read is Strike Three You’re Dead. The author of this book is Josh Berk. The main characters are Lenny, the Mikes, Maria, Blaze O. Farrel, Ramon Famosa, and R.J. Weathers.

This book is about a baseball murder mystery. In the beginning Lenny wins an armchair announcer contest. He practiced announcing with his friends Mike and Other Mike. When he goes to the game a promising young pitcher R.J. Whethers died. Lenny suspects that it was murder.

Lenny and the Mikes had several suspects. At first Lenny and the Mikes suspected PhilzFan1 who helped them later in the book. After that they thought it was Famosa but he was way too nice so it wasn’t him. In the end it took a long time to figure it out but Lenny realized who did it.

I like this book because it has a lot of action and violence in it. I recommend this book to teens. --J.
