From Words To Views | The Fall of the House of Usher

As soon as I heard that it is a modern adaptation of the classic short story written by Edgar Allan Poe, I was super excited to binge-watch this series in one go. And what better timing to watch this than the Halloween season, making it a perfect spooky night watch party. Staying true to its... Read...

This is one of many mini-series produced and published by Netflix that it is an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel. Like his other novels, this one also features gritty crime in a fast-paced storyline with multiple characters hiding their own truths. The series opens with the pleasant domestic blissful beach vacation of Jacek Ławniczak and Greta Rembiewska, along with their two children....

This is my second book by Rebecca Collomosse, all thanks to Audible. She is making a good name for herself in the psychological thriller genre and for some solid reasons. This novel also manages to captivate readers’ attention with engaging narrative and keeps us guessing till the very end. The novel itself begins with the first shocker of this twisted tale because it seems like the author doesn’t believe in waiting for any preamble to land a straight punch....

When I first saw the trailers, I knew that it would be worth the wait. Adapted from the fifth book in the Mickey Haller series called The Gods of Guilt, this emotionally charged season absolutely gives justice to Michael Connelly’s original novel. Like the last season, the familiar story of ace criminal lawyer Mickey Haller continues with him taking up riskier cases and entangling more than his reputation in the process....

This was such a sick, twisted, and wild chase story. Although it started on a slow note and took a minute to build momentum, it picked up speed pretty soon. This compact novel begins with its protagonist, Mackenzie Casper, while she attends her mother’s funeral and notices the strange behavior of her father, Ben Casper. It’s already overwhelming for her to be there for her world-famous author mother, E....

The black and white color palette is the first clever indication of presenting things in stark contrasts, even though there is a vast difference in what has been presented and what your eyes are seeing. This deceitfulness is the real crux of this popular Netflix series, so it remains faithful to the main theme of the novel from which it has been adapted....

Forget your usual thrillers! Agatha Christie takes us to the stunning, sun-drenched island of St. Honoré in her classic Caribbean mystery. Here, our favorite amateur detective, Miss Marple, is on a much-needed vacation, but of course, murder never takes a holiday. When a fellow guest is found dead after casually mentioning he has a photo of a killer, the idyllic resort becomes a hotbed of suspects. Every character has a secret, and every twist will have you guessing until the very last page. It’s a classic whodunit with a tropical twist you won’t want to miss.

Ready to escape to paradise... and solve a murder? Get your copy of “A Caribbean Mystery” and explore more Agatha Christie classics. The link to my website is in my bio!
