Book a week: Book 17

I am not sure, I still have to call it Book a week. 

I finished the book "Snow" by John Banville. I share the books on Instagram as well. 

It is fund to make new graphics to showcase my books. 

Okay, now about the book "Snow"


That was a fun graphic to create a Sunday!

Victim is Father Lawless, a catholic priest. His body  ended up in the library of  the Osborn family. The body is adjusted. The blood is wiped away. 

Now it the job of Detective Stratford to find out what happened. No one in the family heard of anything. Then, Stratford's assistant is gone missing too. 

The Catholic church is not interested in finding the truth. So we are left to wonder why!

The priest had a past: untold stories. When the detective finally finds his assistant's body, he almost got a clue about who might have killed the priest. But, is that one is the actual killer??

The last chapter surprisingly reveals the real killer. 

Life will go on. Do you want justice to be served? Is it done well in this story?

Read and find on your own!!!!

Book A week: Week 15

Last week I fnished the book, "A week to Midnight" by David Baldacci. I didn't know it was second in Atley Pine series. 

I loved the beginning and thought to give it a try. 





 The beginning is a bit confusing. Agent Pine beating the crap out of a pedophile, her supervisor let her to go and find who is responsible for the disappearance of her sister Mercy.

When her investigation regarding Mercy was going on, the story turns around. there were several other murders happening in the small town. When Pine solved the case and still cannot find the key information about Mercy's disappearance, I did a Google search. That is when I understood that it is part of a series. 

Now, am I going to find the next one and read it???? Good question: not right away. It has to wait. The writing style is not that great.  

There are some flows: especially the way FBI handles their agents! Why Pine was not given any punishment for beating the pedophile? It can be justified, yet, not believable. That is the fault of the author.
