Step-by-step explanation:
Friend: Hey, I wanted to ask you something. There are a couple of books I've read, but I can't remember their names. Do you think you can help me?
You: Of course! I'll do my best. What are the books about? Maybe I can jog your memory.
Friend: Well, one of them was a mystery novel set in a small town. It had a detective as the main character, and the plot revolved around solving a murder case.
You: Hmm, that sounds interesting. Can you remember any specific details about the story or the author?
Friend: I remember that the author had a unique writing style, and the book had a twist ending that I didn't see coming. Oh, and the title might have had something to do with the town's name.
You: Alright, a mystery novel set in a small town with a detective protagonist and a twist ending... Let me think. Have you read any other books recently that you could compare it to? Maybe that could give me a clue.
Friend: Now that you mention it, another book I read around the same time was a historical fiction novel set during World War II. It followed the journey of a group of characters from different countries and their experiences during the war.
You: Got it. So, we're looking for a mystery novel set in a small town and a historical fiction novel set during World War II. Do you remember any distinct character names or any quotes from either of these books?
Friend: Unfortunately, I can't recall any specific names or quotes. But I do remember being captivated by both stories and feeling a strong emotional connection to the characters.
You: I understand. Let's see if we can find any books that match the descriptions you provided. I'll do some research and reach out to you as soon as I have some promising leads. In the meantime, if anything else comes to mind, let me know!
Friend: Thank you so much for helping me out. I really appreciate it. Good luck with the search!
You: You're welcome! It's my pleasure to assist you. I'll do my best to find those books for you. Talk to you soon!
