She is good at many kinds of novels, like thrillers、science fiction、fantancy、non-fictions etc. Many novels of her become scripts of movies. That play was a story about murder. There were ten peoples abroat a ship for trip, but they were killed one by one, they tried to find out the murder, but in the end, just one person was alive. We could hear screaming of many audiences during the performance as the play was very forifying.I think it was a wonderful play.
