Brajesh's Review : Innocent in Las Vegas - a Tiffany Black Mystery

As part of free e-books, I attempted to read "Innocent in Las Vegas - a Tiffany Black Mystery" on the iPhone. This AR Winters book took a really long time to finish, as I was only reading it on the tube or in buses.

The book was moderately funny and an average suspense element built in it. The protagonist is a girl finding her feet in the business of Private Investigating in Los Angles and had most of the formulaic elements of the mystery.

I couldn’t relate to much of the humour and have no intentions of picking-up any more in the series.

Rating :2.5/5

Brajesh's Review : Mr Mercedes

Mr Mercedes is a Stephen King master-class.

We know the murderer and the crime fairly early in the book, the suspense is not who he is, or how he did it. It is his twisted , addictively evil, yet strangely believable motivation and mind-set hurling us into his next plot.

The characters of the murderer and retired police officer are so eerily similar yet contrasting. If I have read a page turner in 2014, this is the one.

I knew King was a master of horror, but in this book he made me realize that he is also the god of crime and drama. The sheer believability of situations and ordinariness of the settings leave the reader with a newer, scarier observational approach to his surroundings. I can’t wait to pick up the next King crime-drama offering.

Rating : 4 / 5
