Dark Mystery Thriller
8. März 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Qureshi's second book, this is a dark murder mystery with a compelling buddy-theme to it. Carefully plotted and filled with interesting characters the plot moves along smoothly and leads in unexpected direction at it's climax. Definitely more sombre than his first novel but still shows strong glimpses of Qureshi's brilliant humour.

The October Five
15. März 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Some might call this book a mystery. I'm inclined not to because whodunit, the key element in a typical mystery, is apparent early in the book. Yet there is still plenty of mystery. The questions of why the murders were committed, will the police catch the culprits, even whether the reader wants the murderers caught are unanswered questions - mysteries in a way. Then, near the end, some additional mysteries crop up.
The above is a part of what I liked about this book. It is also an example of what I was thinking of when I discuss indie authors in the "why Indies" page of this blog. Something that is different from the typical formula and takes risks is much more likely found among Indies. What this book does differently is take a couple different formulas and combines elements from each. In most books who you should root for is obvious. It might be the criminal trying to pull off the bank robbery or it might be the detective trying to catch him. In "The October Five," it isn't clear. The author doesn't try swaying the reader toward any of the choices, nor while reading, did I ever decide. The ending has no clear winner either although there are some definite losers. Yet, somehow, the ending was still satisfying. Maybe because real life is seldom clear cut and unambiguous either.

Viet Nam Flashback Thriller WIth A Modern Twist
9. Januar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I enjoyed Mr. Qureshi's previous book 'R.A.C.E.' and once again with 'The October Five' he has created a compelling mystery which has layers of complexity, characterization and intrigue; while still, maintaining a sense of humour. The vigilante group of the title are unique in that they are made up of the folks we pass on the street every day...but he keeps us guessing till the final few pages as to what their motivation is and who is trying to stop them. A superbly crafted mystery that makes me want to keep reading more from this talented author.
