Brought this book - Begging To Die (Katie Maguire #10) by Graham Masterson - to Japan but didn't manage to finish it. Don't get me wrong, the thriller is fantastic, I was just too exhausted during the trip, and the mood was simply not for some nasty and horrific cases. Imagine someone gonna kill you by drilling a hole into your skull .....
A long Night In Paris by Dov Alfon was the second book I finished last week. A spy thriller full of insider knowledge on the bureaucracy of the Israeli Intelligence community. It all started when an Israeli was murdered in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, setting in motion with the main three parties involved : French, Israel and Macau (China), with some meddling from the US. All things happened in little more than 24 hours. In the end, leaving you thinking who is spying on who? what is true and what is not?
A passage that I like and somehow resonate with what is happening :
The governing body was under the control of a fresh-eating virus that used the normal immune system - the law, media, military and intelligence agencies - to fool its own organs, to the extent that it had become impossible t distinguish between the healthy body and the virus.
VOX by Christina Dalcher is the latest.
Here is the book blurb :
Jean McClellan spends her time in almost complete silence, limited to just one hundred words a day. Any more, and a thousand volts of electricity will course through her veins.
Now the new government is in power, everything has changed. But only if you're a woman. Almost overnight, bank accounts are frozen, passports are taken away and seventy million women lose their jobs. Even more terrifyingly, young girls are no longer taught to read or write.
For herself, her daughter, and for every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice. This is only the beginning...
Never ever!!!
