my favourites continue to remain hercule poirot and in death series..
hercule poirot stories start a little slow but the plot is the king..u cnt put it down wen u start..the best of those was death on the nile and murder on the orient express..movies made on both in 1980s...and awesome to watch even now..books are incomparable if course..
in death series is one which though is a bestseller, not commonly known to many, so will give u a short summary..its a futuristic crime thriller series based on Lt. Eve Dallas, chief of homicide in 2060s, in NY..she is a kickass cop who has the capacity to verbally chew down her suspects and bad or negligent cops..she had a traumatic childhood, found in an alley with blood all over her at the age of 8, with signs of physical and sexual abuse..she remembers nothing of her past at the start, and gradually pieces it together through the series..she was given her name "eve dallas" by a social worker, and became a cop to make tht name stand for all innocents..sex crimes are toughest for her in the series, coz she goes back into her past, reliving nightmares, but she stands for the dead..she hates socialising, but reluctantly builds a circle of friends through the series, including her partner, the criminal psychiatrist, her trainer, her husbands friends and so on..she meets her husband in the first book who is a suspect, was previously a thief and currently is the richest man on planet(a little overdramatic, but u fall for him anyway) he also had a traumatic childhood, but built his empire single-handedly..eve makes an honest man out of him and their love story has the awesome aspect of not being sappy at all..😆
there are sum 49 books till date in the series, and u shud start from the first "NAKED IN DEATH"..first is kinda boring, but gives a good headstart..second onwards, i was hooked..give it a read, u wnt regret it..
