 Alex Cross's Trial By James Patterson , Richard DiLallo   My Rating: 4/5 Genre: Thriller, Historical Fiction Finished on: 6th Feb 2022       As I write this review (again, after an yeaar ) I still remember how emotional this read was for me. I was too into it, the injustice, the trial. Traumatized by the horror of it all. It was not less of a horror story for me. Except there weren't any ghosts. There were beasts, in the form of people. In the form of humans. The book started with a preface, and I remember how the last lines of the preface caught my attention " My suspicion is that what happened at Mississippi was too personal and painful for Corbett to turn into a book. But I have come to believe that there has never been a better time for this story to be told. " There are five parts to this story, beginning with... Part One: A Good Man Is Hard To Find: Initially the characters are introduced. Abraham Cross, one of the main protagonist. Regina Cross (Nana Mam...

 The Storm By  Clive Cussler ,   Graham Brown My Rating: 5/5 Genre: Adventure, Sci Fi Finished on: 8th June, 2021 The Storm By Clive Cussler and Graham Brown This was my first book from the authors Clive Cussler and Graham Brown, and this was one of those books I bought randomly having no context of the genre, and didn't once regret! I had not tried Adventure books before, but once I finished this one, I planned to give all the others a try, this one was that great :D Although this is fictional, I'm not even sure if half the adventurous stuff performed could be done in reality, but nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed them all. And even the characters :'D Let's dive in.  ____________ This book started with a prologue, which didn't make much sense in the beginning.  It's the year 1943, and Captain Alan Pickett is trying to make his ship survive as the captain doesn't want the enemies to take over the cargo they are carrying, but the enemies around are trying har...

 The Long Fall By Julia Crouch My Rating: 4/5 Genre: Thriller, Mystery Finished on: 14th Dec, 2020 I'm writing this review almost 2 months after having finished this one. So here's hoping I really do enough justice to it while recalling what all happened in the story, and how I felt about it. Really hoping that. This book was bit of a challenge while picking up, as my sister read few chapters & vowed never to pick it up again. That got me curious, of course. What really happened that my sister now wishes to never read a book again? I don't blame her. Once I started, I did get her point. But, trust me. As I kept going on, I really got hooked to the story and it was difficult for me to put down Because I just wanted to know what even happened? ____________________________________________________ The book was divided into 3 parts. The first had stories of two timelines, one based in 1980 and the other 33 years later, 2013. The second part was entirely based on the past - 1...
