I honestly knew nothing about Shweta Ganesh Kumar till I got a copy of this book. And as it is with pleasant surprises, I am so glad that I found this treasure chest of tiny jewels that each shine with individual splendor. The title aptly describes each story. You read about every day people, people you may even know or have met over your life…

Broken Prey
It’s been a long, long time since I came across a really good thriller. That has a perfectly twisty storyline and good deduction with optimal reasoning skills displayed with splashes of humor to thrown in. Pick this one up for those depressing days when you want a good brain teaser to keep you on the edge of your seat. Be…
Spying in High Heels
A fashionista searches for her lover when he gets lost, as she deals with the possibility of her becoming a mother even as she races with a detective for clues to fire her search. It’s a fun and light read to keep you entertained and smiling. A sweet and cheesy contribution to chick literature.
The Poet
I loved the Lincoln Lawyer n many other Connely charachters. For me the foreword by Stephen King ruined the experience of reading the book. My expectations soared as the novel lagged behind trying to catch up. The plot of murders of homicide cops was good. The way the clues unfolded was well thought. The characters were beautifully sketched. What lacked…
Dresden Files : White Night
Honestly, can’t comment on this book since I haven’t followed the series from the beginning. Found the characters very well defined and fun to read about. The story was sort of confusing for me since there are many situations which seemed to be based on things which might be mentioned before. Thus, the jury is out on this one ……
About Face
If you’ve read enough mystery novels, I guess around time every story becomes predictable. This one is no exception. From the first few pages, you know what the protagonist has been through and will be going through next. The writing is what surprised me the most. The grammatical and structural errors had me shocked as to how the book finally…
Dexter by Design
I’m an unbashed fan of Dexter, the showtime series. The idea of justice for those scum bags tickles me no end. Specially the fact, that Dexter : a person with every reason to be as twister as the ” monstors ” he hunts tries at Every step in life to do the right thing is very fascinating. The fact that…
Smashcut
When I started the book, I didn’t have much hopes for it. Took it to be one of those run of the mill mystery books. But as I delved furthre into each page, I found myself intruiged by the mystery and thrill. Another one of Sandra Browns masterpieces. At every step, you think you know what’s happening but you are…
The Lost Symbol !
The Lost Symbol – I picked this book up, inspite of the cool reviews it got from acquaintances. And I must say it deserves the cool reception it’s been getting. Dan Brown seems to have lost his touch with building a plot and keeping the reader on edge. Reading the book was like sitting in a histroy class, though personally…
The Quickie
I have been disillusioned of Patterson’s writing in a while now. I’ve been sick of the series’ books he’s been putting out there. They make reading work somehow, where one has to dredge through the pages. Yet I picked this one up on a whim just to see how Patterson is doing these days. And I have to admit I…
