Chris Carter's "The Caller"

Chris Carter is one of the most underrated crime novel author in the world. Any one of his novels easily beats those by Patricia Cornwell and Jeffrey Deaver. I mean, seriously, check his books' review on the internet. They are all above 4.5/5. Once you begin reading his book, there is no way you could stop. His books are about an ultra-violent crime handling unit in LAPD and the two main characters - Robert Hunter and Garcia - handle only the sickest murder cases in LA. Hence, all the murderers in his books commit highly sinful, extremely sickening and violent crime to their victims. He employed the most torturous method on earth, designed specifically to inject the greatest pain to the sufferers. What makes his books so great ain't the sickening M.O., but rather the suspense Chris Carter uses in his book. Each chapter is short - between two and six pages long - and each ends with a suspense that will make you want to keep reading. Because Chris Carter is an actual criminal analyst, he knows what he is writing, and he knows how to deliver. His books are awesome. I say if you like crime novels, you must read his book! It's highly recommended! I'll give it a solid score!

KL

I am not in the mood to say much, so I'll summarise my point: I'm happier away from my family.

And that makes a decision for me: After I graduate, I'll move to KL for work.

Some people wonder why I hate mingling with people. Try living with my parents a while, and you'll understand why I enjoy solitude for possibly eternally.

Living with them is mentally exhausting. There is a limit to how much I can endure, and I'm reaching it.

With all due respect, I love my parents. They give me shelter, they provide me with my necessities, and I'm thankful for that. I love them, and I want to stay with them.

But sometimes, it is just too tiring. Too mentally tiring.

Erica Spindler's 'The First Wife'

This is a good book. I bought this book using BB1M last year but read it only recently. The opening is a bit cliche, but the story picks up pace as it goes along, and the suspense is indeed quite good. I haven't finished a book this fast for quite a long time. Only a few authors can make me this intrigued but this previously-unknown-to-me author made me totally piqued.

Basically, this book is about a lady who marries a man in haste. When she returns to his hometown, a shantytown, she realises there is a rumour that he is suspected to be involved in a number of disappearances and the murder of his first wife. Then things happen and the truth begins to unravel. And a knock to her head when she discovers something instrumental to the case actually allows the book to be longer than it naturally needs to.

The English used in the book is rather simple, so it's good for basic learners. I think I'll be looking for her other books to buy from now on.
