Summary of "The Girl with green eyes - John Escott - English Audiobook Level A1"
In the English audiobook "The Girl with Green Eyes" by John Escott, the story follows Greg, a hotel porter in New York, who becomes entangled in a mystery involving a girl named Cassie with striking green eyes. Every afternoon, Greg notices Cassie sitting alone in a coffee shop, and after some hesitation, he approaches her. Cassie reveals her troubles: her stepfather, staying at Greg’s hotel, has taken her valuable sketchbooks, and she wants them back. Greg offers to help and plans to retrieve the sketchbooks from the stepfather’s hotel room.
The plot thickens as Greg sneaks into the room, finds the sketchbooks, and later gives them to Cassie. However, things take a twist when Greg’s friend Mike informs him that the story about Cassie’s stepfather is false—Jake Russo, the artist whose sketchbooks were stolen, has no wife or stepdaughter. Greg realizes he’s been tricked and that the police are now after him because of CCTV footage showing him entering the room.
Forced to hide, Greg tries to track down Cassie, who is now elusive and appears to be planning to sell the sketchbooks. A tense chase ensues, culminating in Greg catching up with her just as she boards a boat at Pier 83. Police arrive on the scene, arrest Cassie and her accomplice, and recover the sketchbooks. Greg returns the sketchbooks to the grateful artist Jake Russo, who warns him to stay away from girls with beautiful green eyes.
