Can't find it free online? Try this. 😲

I found A Caribbean Mystery this way: find at least one paragraph from that book (I go to Goodreads and go to the quotes page). Plug it into Google and it should find you a website that has the book for free, which weeds out fake websites that only have fake PDFs to download.

PS. Update 10/16/18 - I was looking for Nemesis by Agatha Christie and no one had it except Archive.org which only had pictures of each page. It was fine, but I wanted to be able to highlight and copy. I thought about this, and was like "but it would take forever to copy word for word a whole paragraph..." which brings me to my point: you don't have to do a whole freakin paragraph for goodness sake I don't know what I was thinking. Just look for a sentence that is kind of in the middle of a chapter (hopefully you have access to the second or third because lots of people have the first couple for a sample so it wouldn't really help finding the whole book) and then copy it. Sentences work just as well as paragraphs in most cases. If you only have Archive and pictures of the book, use Google Lens to lift the words from the picture.

Hoooope that helps :)
