As the reading year draws to an end, here comes Molly once again, and easily climbs straight up to the best reads of 2023. Nita Prose successfully accomplishes the hardest thing to achieve – following up a runaway hit with an equally enthralling sequel. And not only does this second book maintain the charm & appeal of the first, but it also far outdoes it.
The book begins with an acclaimed mystery author J.D. Grimthorpe dropping dead just ahead of a much-publicized announcement he was due to make in the Regency Grand’s tearoom. And as the book itself keeps reminding you, …
Travis Devine returns for a second run with the much awaited, highly anticipated sequel to The 6:20 Man! The former U.S. Army Ranger Devine is assigned a new case by his mentor Emerson Campbell to investigate the murder of Jenny Silkwell, a case of personal interest to Campbell. As Devine travels to the small town of Putnam in Maine, he uncovers various secrets & the darker side of this small seemingly quaint town.
The Edge is everything you look for in a thriller, more pertinently, a David Baldacci thriller. It is fast paced, gripping and addictive from the word go. The twists, the constant lurking danger, the ruthless brute power displayed by Devine at various instances and the emotional side to …

The perfect way to sum up The Five-Star Weekend is a phrase from the book itself – “Your Life Story In Friends”. Hollis Shaw, recently widowed, organizes a Five-Star Weekend inspired by another woman to overcome her grief and mourning.

For this weekend, she invites her childhood friend Tatum, best friend from college Dru Ann, Brooke from their children’s growing up years and Gigi a recent online acquaintance from her blog.
As such, this idea felt extremely original and enticing. I loved this concept of a weekend with your best friends over the years. Each of these people have problems of …

Come autumn and rises the anticipation for the new Jeffrey Archer release. Such has been the pattern for the past few years that the William Warwick series has become an inseparable part of the season for me! And so, here I was – all set and waiting with my copy of Traitor’s Gate pre booked well in advance.
My first impressions of the book were pretty clear, this 6th book in the Warwick series promised to be the best. To begin with, we have all the regular characters returning back – William, Beth, Miles Faulkner, Booth Watson, Sir Julian Warwick and last but not the least Christina! It is a pleasure to meet these bunch of people yet again for a fun …

This is a book I had been wanting to read for long. I had read The Maidens by Alex Michaelides and had loved it. The Silent Patient was his debut novel and a runaway success. Yet I somehow kept pushing it back. Finally I got the chance to devour this scintillating thriller, and all I can say is it is worthy of all the huge success it has seen!
Late as it is to review this book, I’d rather just quickly talk of what I loved about it. Usually I put the spoilers under a clickable head, but here it looks more suitable to talk of them in the open to highlight the highs of this book. So those not wanting to …
