The Monogram Murders - Sophie Hannah

 I am on a roll with reading up murder mysteries... A very dear colleague gifted The Monogram Murders by Sophie Hannah to me and I am grateful to her for this. Every book tells us a story and I seem to have a story as well behind getting books😄 The Monogram Murders, series of Hercule Poirot books, which has characters created by Agatha Christie.  Starting with my view of the book, it is very well written and plotted.

Roses are Red - James Patterson

 A new murder mystery to be solved...… I happen to got this book through a friend who knows I like reading. Though I got the book long ago, I finally read it and it was worth it!! 😀 Roses are Red is the sixth novel in the series. I was not aware until I had started reading it and became a fan. Alex Cross detective series has 25 books. The continuation of Roses are Red is followed by Violets are Blue which is ironic. Moving on to the view about the book, which is shortly mentioned above the story is attention grabbing with a series of bank robberies which includes murders. Thriller as it gets and unfolds, the story makes one want to turn the page and be curious. It gives a lesson to care for your loved ones and be as close as you can to them. Maintain a work life balance to make up time for other important things in life. The story is not only thriller but emotional as well, which gave details of the previous series and ongoing stories. Roses are Red caught my attention immediately...
