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.

Right now, I am going through two books. I started Arcadia a couple of days ago, and since then I have come across the book a few times already in other blogs. They have been mostly raving, so I'm eager to see where this goes for me. Though, I should admit that I started it at the wrong time - when I was going to sleep, and Arcadia isn't a book you should start at such times unless you do want to be put to sleep.

I'm also reading Catherine Ryan Hyde's When I Found You. I've been eager to read this one for a while, because the synopsis about an abandoned baby and the man who found the baby in the woods sounded interesting. Short Story of the week - In the Bed Department (click for my review) by Anne Enright.Since the last update, these are the books I read:
