Review : A Taste for Killing

Book review : A Taste for Killing by Sarah Hawkswood is a well- crafted historical novel of a medieval mystery.

The story is of the period January 1145, of Godfrey Bowyer , best but least likeable bow maker of Worcester. He was killed by giving poison in his meal while his wife , Blanche saved. The investigation is carried by Sergeant Catchpoll with the help of Undersherrif and Undersergeant.

The author has well reasearched the way people lived, spoke and how the means of finding the culprit without the modern means of finding the real reason of poison and keeping their public safe in such circumstances.

I appreciate the way the story takes twists and turns unfolding the secrets and letting deeper to the way of real culprit and making clear the real intentions of each person related to the corpse.

I liked reading this 10th book in series of the author, Sarah Hawkswood who has done an incredible job. This novel is stand alone so can be read in any order.

I am thankful to netgalley and Allison and Busby for giving me a chance to read this amazing book. I recommend this mysterious book to all medeival mystery lovers .

Happy Reading!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs.
