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.


So first off is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, written in epistolary format. I have mostly heard positive reviews of this book. Readers either agreed or disagreed with the book presentation - told wholly in letters. The first such book I read is Dracula, and I loved the letter style mainly because there is so much to be told from the timing and the address of each letter. Anne Frank's Diary was another book of that category. So this is one I am definitely looking forward to.



Have you read any of these books?

Congrats on the wins & Happy reading!
Have a great reading week ahead!
Here are my Monday: Mailbox/Whereabouts and Musing Mondays posts!
Great books so far!
Enjoy!
Also, I haven't read The Book Thief either, and I think I blame it on the hype. I have this weird relationship with hype books--I always end up reading them a year or two after everyone else.
Best,
Sarah
I am hosting a giveaway on Rose City Reader for one of the books in my mailbox.
