the lighter side

Sure, it’s good to be home, and there will be no more hurried trips to catch up, though of course I have to be back to responsibilities in the parish, the community and our own home and family. Aside from being back to my usual computer here, I can sit back and relax with a nice book. I usually go for self improvement and spiritual books, but when I was younger I also read suspense novels. In fact I had two favorite authors for this.

But it’s not bad if for a change, I’ll try this Richard Yacenda (a native New Yorker but now lives in Florida, USA) who is a graduate from the City College of New York, once the President and CEO of a highly successful New York City advertising agency, and a veteran of the United States Navy. With his life experience, this novel Retribution, his first attempt as a novel writer, may be a real suspense.

The suspense novel focuses on the brutality of the murders and the detective’s team investigation. It is said that the author’s deft touch of realism with dialogue is excellent, and clues are dropped along the way to invite readers to investigate the meaning of the title, with all the characters working together to a rewarding end for the reader.
