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.
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Books completed last week
Having just returned back from watching Inception, I totally forgot about this post. My conscious and "subconscious" kept muddling over all the facts before it "woke itself up" and I remembered this post.
So it's been another busy week, and I got only one book done.
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Books reviewed
Books on my nightstand
I guess I did become too ambitious with my reading list last week, so I have pretty much the same set of books on my nightstand again.
One Vacant Chair by Joe Coomer: I started reading this one yesterday, but didn't get that far in. It's quite funny at times, plus engrossing.
Crazy by Han Nolan: Again, I will read this only if I get the time. I'm not sure yet about it, plus this ebook expires in a few days.
The Passage by Justin Cronin: I really can't wait to read this. I am so in a mood for reality-challenging stuff now, without venturing into anything paranormal. Could be the Inception effect.
