Over the past couple of months, I've read a few books that I didn't get a chance to review yet. These were all enjoyable in different ways and are recommended reads. A Will to Kill by R. V. Raman I've been looking for an Indian mystery for a while now. So when I came across A Will to Kill in Netgalley set in one of my favorite places in India (also close to my home town), I just had to request it. In so many ways, this is a typical Agatha Christie type mystery - there's a death (in an isolated mansion, no less) and the investigator/detective tries to solve the mystery. Harith Athreya is visiting the owner of the mansion, Bhaskar Fernandez, where a small gathering has been planned for the owner's relatives and friends. Bhaskar has written two wills - and how he dies will determine which will goes into effect. That night, there is a murder and Athreya spends the next few days trying to find the culprit. I generally enjoy the Agatha Christie class of murder mysteries.

I am currently reading
The Chopin Manuscript by Jeffery Deaver
(Audio book): Not much progress on this one yet! I hope to complete it this week! 
The Help by Kathryn Stockett:
One of the must-reads of 2010 finally in my hands!! I had been waiting for this book from last October, so it definitely feels good to finally be able to read it. So far, I am just a few pages in, but it's pretty engrossing!
The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch:
This thriller is told in reverse! The protagonist goes back in one hour increments to prevent a crime. The synopsis of this book is very interesting, and I had been on-hold for this one since it released in December.
Precious / Push by Sapphire:
This is another book I've been itching to read for some time. Only 192 pages. So I'll be hoping to read this one also this week!
