Book Review: Do Nothing by Miguel Angel Hernandez Jr

This was a quick read. The book revolved around a series of murders in which the targets were seemingly unrelated people: A high profile lawyer and a drug dealer. Until it turns out that the murders are similar to the ones that happened 7 years ago. Detective Griffin consults an older detective who worked on the earlier cases and is able to connect more dots as he also learns that the lawyer and the drug dealer are indeed connected by a case in which the lawyer was the defense attorney and the drug dealer was a witness for the defense. The next target of the killer is the judge who was also involved in the same case which had led to the conviction of this killer who is now released and is taking revenge as he was convicted despite of his innocence. Detective Griffin comes to the rescue and saves the day in this page turning thriller! I was extremely satisfied with the ending of the book since justice was served from all angles because even the company who had wrongly framed one of their employees were being investigated upon. Each character in the book was very interesting: Detective Griffin who left no loose ends, Natalie Costa the DA, Officer Ruiz, Alix the serial killer copying another uncaught killer's MO, Coot - the officer who worked on the similar case that had happened 7 years ago, Matt - the drug dealer who clearly did not go down without a fight, Dean - who was the son of the employee who had been killed due to his company's negligent behavior, Kalyx - who has a case of her own yet she helps Griffin, Venus Gray - a clever detective and many such characters were there throughout the book.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in mystery/thriller books or short stories in general.

The author was kind enough to send me a free copy of the book although I am writing this review out of my own accord.

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa...

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c...

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's ...
