Title: Eyes of Justice

Author: Lis Wiehl with April Henry

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Fiction 

Eyes of Justice by Lis Wiehl is the latest installment in the Triple Threat series, which showcases the struggle of Cassidy, a reporter; Nicole, an FBI agent and Allison, a federal prosecutor, towards crime. 

But this issue is surely a heart-breaking for the die-hard fans of the series. This time the tragedy is too personal for the Triple Threat Sisters as one of them has been killed. Initially it appears that killer had a personal anguish towards Cassidy but as the attack on Nicole and Allison begins, it becomes clear that they are facing a fanatic who knows their every move. The race begins and they should surely buck-up or it will be an end to the Triple Threat Club. Just like other novels in the series, this one too have lots of twists and mind boggling revelations, along with a more realistic scenario of their respective departments of FBI office, a TV station and judicial structure. 

The best part about Lis Wiehl’s novels is that you stop playing the guessing game much before in the book. The continuously warping story makes it a delicious page turner. Even as the original group ceases to exist, introduction to a new character, Ophelia left the avenue open for new books in the series. 

Paramount element about this series is that it is not essential for the reader to have read the previous books, though it is recommended, to have a better understanding and emotional attachment with the characters. Other books in the series are:  Face of Betrayal, Hand of Fate and Heart of Ice. 

Rating: 3.5/5

Title: The Big Book of Dan

Author: Daniel C. Dulik

Publisher: Outskirts Press

Genre: Non-Fiction / Humor 

The Big Book of Dan by Daniel C. Dulik is a collection of essays and poems giving a sporadic and amusing perspective to daily life situations.  

Author has presented a mocking point of view towards almost everything; from government to war, from driving habits to evolution of mankind, from nose hairs to aging and many others and he left nothing and nobody. Even where this book is filled up with all the quirks and whims, the reader can hardly miss the underlying concern author has for the human race and its journey towards the doom. I am a big fan of George Carlin and have to say that this book had impressed me a lot. To find the hidden humor in every intricacy of life is what everyone needs to survive this pandemonium of life. 

The Big Book of Dan: Road Alligators and Other Incongruous Possibilities is an intellectual, radiantly imaginative and bright read for all. Where many writers become monotonous after a stretch, Daniel proves to be an exception. Reading his work after a boring routine day life made me have a pleasant night and enjoy the laughter I missed the entire day. A must read to clear the nuances of mind, looking forward to more books from the author.
