The Milan Contract by Stephen Franks

The book is still up for requesting on NetGalley When the story began, I was mildly confused. The author plays that confusion well and builds up the situations to make us doubt ourselves. We are alternatively shown the unfolding events in real-time as well as the histories of the people involved at all stages. This…

Hadley & Grace by Suzanne Redfearn

Narrators: Christina Traister , Sarah Naughton , Peter Simonelli I have reviewed this book on the heels of another pair of women in a sort-of borrowed car. I thought they went together in their own way. I normally do not look out for such threads or connections because if I got into it, it would mean a lot more…

A Song For The Road by Kathleen M. Basi

I was apprehensive about the book, or rather my experience of it one chapter in. It began with God in the forefront, and I was unsure how the rest of the story would turn out. Surprisingly enough, the concept of faith and its role in sustaining the main characters was done well and not in…

State of Treason by Paul Walker

This book is one of those that were waiting patiently on my virtual shelf while I read easier and quicker books. I finally got around to it and liked what I got.This is a historical fiction based in 1578 and is very immersive. It gives a full breadth of information, sights and smells to go…

Together We Will Go by J. Michael Straczynski

This is a dicey topic to handle. I picked it up after looking at the blurb and remembered the contents of the said blurb as I started to read the book. Since it is an infrequent occurrence, I thought it would colour my reading experience, but it did not. Basically, irrespective of what you know…

The Secret of Chimneys (Superintendent Battle #1) by Agatha Christie

Narrator: Simon Jones I am working my way through rereads of older books that I can now listen to. I read these at a time when I was unsure of the pronunciation of things and had no way of confirming (or even the will to look). I said Hercule Poirot anyway I wanted until almost…

The Bodies That Move by Bunye Ngene

This is a small volume that contains the harrowing journey of one man from a safe city with no prospect to the wild unknowns of Europe.It begins with our protagonist Nosa, who has always been a good student, but he is stuck with no jobs in sight once he is done with his schooling. A…

Bad Day in Minsk by Jonathan Pinnock

I've read and reviewed the previous three books in the series I would not recommend picking this up without having read any of the previous books. The crazy antics here make more sense when coupled with the equally crazy events of the last few times we met Tom Winscombe and the people associated with him…
