PLAYING WITH FIRE by TESS GERRITSEN



BOOK REVIEW:- 

PLAYING WITH FIRE by TESS GERRITSEN

 

I devoured this book like a delicious cake. It was that good. Although it starts with a normal scene where a violinist buys a book in Rome, the moment when the three-year-old Lily enters the story, things get insane. I don't want to spoil the book for you, so I won't reveal any further details. The ending is unexpected as in most thrillers.


The story is a mix of thriller and historical fiction. The story is narrated from the perspective of Julia and Lorenzo, the two main characters. Both these characters are musicians of their time. The transition between the past and present timelines is smooth and finally converges at the end of the book. I did not know about the basic terminology of music like the waltz, rhythm, and other things, but I enjoyed the way the author described the music and its impact on the characters.

I will read more books from this author.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

  In an era dominated by short-form content, instant gratification, and visually engaging platforms, one might question the relevance of traditional blogging. The rise of social media and video content has undoubtedly shifted the digital landscape. However, declaring blogging as irrelevant may be premature.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump: Reshaping Government Spending and Power Dynamics in 2024

Elon Musk's engagement with Donald Trump centers on a shared vision of drastically reducing federal government spending and regulations. Musk has been appointed by Trump to lead the newly formed "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). His role involves conducting audits of federal agencies and proposing cuts to eliminate what he views as wasteful expenditures, potentially amounting to trillions of dollars.

For example, while reducing government EV subsidies could challenge Tesla’s competitors, it might ultimately benefit Tesla by creating a more competitive market landscape​ This partnership, however, has drawn criticism for potential conflicts of interes...
