The Room in the Attic by Louis Douglas

I have read one other book by this author and reviewed it: here Psychological/horror drama is not that high on my to-read list, but this author's previous work (that I read) was quite satisfying. This is what had me interested in picking this up in the first place.It is hard not to compare, and I…

You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus

Book is still available to request on NetGalley There are some books that, when you dissect and think about later (as in before writing of its review), you feel like the content was not that special. However, the reading experience was just right for the size and type of narrative. This is one such book.I…

The Letter Keeper (Murphy Shepherd #2) by Charles Martin

I read and reviewed the first book of the series: here I wrote quite a convoluted review for the first in the series.

Games People play , So It Began by Owen Mullen

Sometimes when I am trigger happy, I end up accumulating too many of an author's books without having confirmed my affinity to the writing!This is exactly what happened with this author. I requested and was granted access to four books from three different series. I thought I would start with the one in which I…

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…
