REVIEW-
First of all, I would like to say that, Time is changing. Gone are those days when romance was the only genre to be written about. Now a days, authors are writing on different genre and that too so splendidly.
” In the shadows of death” is a book written with a perfect storyline. A perfect mixture of romance and mystery of the corporate world which is also visible from the cover page of the book.
Author has very beautifully described each and every situation. Characters are beautifully described. A new mystery opens up in each chapter. At no point, I felt that the book is getting less engrossing or I am getting bored. The book promises to keep the reader engrossed till the end.
The writing style is kept clean yet enthralling. In addition, the story has perfect twists and turns which served as a roller coaster. The constant correspondence between past and present kept in the story served as in icing on the cake.
Overall, it was an enthralling read for me.
NOTE TO READERS’-
To all those who want to read something mysterious with twists and turns can surely pick up this book.
