Review of 'The Thursday Murder Club' by Richard Osman
In a peaceful retirement community, four unlikely friends meet every Thursday to investigate unsolved murders. But when a brutal killing takes place very near them, they find themselves in the middle of a big investigation.

Review of 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' by Agatha Christie
This is probably my favorite Agatha Christie book! The peaceful village of King's Abbot is baffled when Roger Ackroyd is murdered a day after widow Ferrars, who he was planning to marry, dies. Hercule Poirot starts investigating and reaches to the most startling conclusion in his long career. When I finished this book I was completely shocked. Although most detective books have surprising endings, this was nothing like it. If anyone solves this mystery and gives logical reaso

Review of 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury
This book is set in the future, in a society where books are banned and firemen burn any that are left or hidden by people. Guy Montag is also a fireman and he likes his job until one day, he meets their neighbor, a girl called Clarisse and his thoughts about the society change completely. Fahrenheit 451 is an amazing story which reminds us the importance of books. This terrifying world with no books and no true feelings was thrilling to read about. After finishing this book,
