The sleeping Doll

The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver this book a thriller series, is well written. Though I have seen the movie version of his book "Bone Collector", this is the first time I had read this author's book and I found that he has a good story outline and writes very nicely keeping up the suspense till the end. By the way this book is written, I am making him one of my favourite authors and will try to read through all his other books. The whole book is about a maniac and master manipulator and how the California Bureau of Investigations agent Kathryn Dance goes after him. Every chapter keeps up the suspense and keeps the readers guessing. A very good book for a long journey where you will not be able to keep it down and so wouldn't even understand how the times flies. Happy reading

Rama Sethu

Incidentally, my husband Ramani was honored at this function by being one of the few people who received the book from the author himself, for the small help he had done some group of people. (I will write a separate blog about this incident - how a small help which we do, serves a greater purpose for others) Some of the facts that become known to all those who gathered were Economic viability : The project, first thing is that is not economically viable (Dr Swamy has researched and found out that only ships below the 30,000 dead weight tonnage are only permitted to use this channel. As of now the percentage of such low weight ships are only 5% and in few years it is expected to come down drastically). so the number of ships eligible to go through the channel and which has the paying capability is very limited and hence the collectable payment is going t...

A prisoner of Birth

Jeffrey Archer - one of my favorite Authors. More than Kane and Abel, I like his "Not a penny more, Not a penny Less". I would love to read his novels again and again and every time you read, it is a fresh experience, even though you know what the end is. Couple of weeks back, I took up the latest book - " A prisoner of Birth ". What a book it was. As usual it was so gripping that I could put the book down only after I finished it around 3.15 am in the morning. When I started, it looked ordinary, but as the pace picked up, the interest never waned ever for a second. It was gripping - You can never forget Danny Cartwright - the young fellow who is wrongly framed for the murder of his Best Friend and who is able to prove his innocence not just because of the best lawyer (the father and son duo court scene is excellent) , but because of the fact that one of the 4, who were the culprits and who undertake to make Danny the Murderer in order to save their Fri...
