True Blue by David Baldacci: A Review

It’s been ages since I read a Baldacci thriller. He made a promising debut with Absolute Power, which I loved, but a couple of his later books didn’t really click with me, and I have pretty much given up on him. But, of course, if I am running low on books to read, anything will…

Apostle Rising

It’s been ages since I read a really edge of the seat gripping thriller. I remedied that with Apostle Rising by Richard Godwin. Like most other books in this genre, it is a police procedural setup dealing with a police duo struggling to hunt down a serial killer. Synopsis Detective Chief Inspector Frank Castle never…

The Watchman by Robert Crais

Two Thrillers I Read Last Week

I enjoy a good whodunit as much as the next girl/guy and I am relatively easy to please when it comes to the type of detective novel/thriller so popular today. I do, though, expect a few things from the author: fully fleshed main characters, explicit descriptions of crime scenes, and side plots to reveal more…

A Metro Nightmare by Shiv Kumar

A Metro Nightmare

Gosh, this month has been busy, busy, busy…long days and long nights making up for all the fun I had this last month. But, still managed to get in a good amount of reading. What I have been unable to do is log and review all the books I read…so you can expect a bunch…

Her Fearful Symmetry

When I was younger, I always wanted to have a twin. Lazy me thought how easy it would be to have an instant best friend without having to make the effort of actually making friends. I don’t know any twin adults in person, and all the twins I know are cute kiddos. Hence, I never…

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

At last I am done with the Millenium trilogy. It took me a year to complete. I blame that partly on the 1st book, which ties up all the events in the story quite neatly. So, while I loved the book, I didn’t also feel the burning need to know what happens further. However, once…

Thank you, John Sandford

I ended last week with a disastrous visit to the physiotherapist (for my RSI). Something went very wrong with the therapy, and I ended up with a hugely painful (but not serious) sprain in my back. Spent the next 3 days flat on my back on the heating pad, floating in a haze of painkillers.…

The Girl who Played with Fire

I am convinced this book is wrongly named. Lisbeth Salander the protagonist is definitely not the girl who plays with fire – she is fire. This book is the second in the Millennium series written by Stieg Larsson. I have reviewed the first book here. While the first book introduces Salander as a character, this…

Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich

Lean Mean Thirteen

I read this book last week, and already all the details are becoming slightly hazy to me. I remember this is the thirteenth book in the Stephanie Plum series (well, duh!). I do remember Stephanie wrecking at least one car in the course of this novel. She is still vacillating between her long-time boyfriend Joe…
