My Review: What if you went to prison for a crime you didn’t commit? That was the case with Michael as he sits in a rotting jail cell. This certainly struck me as an interesting read based on the premise. What we actually get is a journal of the lonely prisoner, detailing his cell, his guard, and, of course, his emotions. The prose was indeed thought-provoking and pensive, but it was also pretty mild. Yes, there was that mystery of what really happened and who actually committed the crime, but it didn’t quite focus on all that. I guess I expected more excitement, and the lack of excitement was tempered by the overall pace, which was long and slow. This needed a much faster pace. Although not quite what I was expecting, this was still a fairly nice read.

About the Author

 

 Michael J. Kundu was born in London, Great Britain, in 1969 to an Indian father and a German mother. He has lived in various places in Europe. His love for reading has prompted him to write this book giving this crime novel more than an edge of mystery and suspense, but also a contemporary perspective on life.

He has a great passion for learning languages and travelling across the globe. He enjoys spending time with his family and lives in Luxembourg with his Italian wife and two teenage children.

My multinational background, coupled with my marriage to someone of a different nationality, has endowed me with a wealth of diverse experiences. Having traversed the globe, speaking multiple languages and immersing myself in various cultures, the profound value of each individual has become a cornerstone of my worldview. These multicultural encounters have not only fostered a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of every person but have also instilled in me a commitment to promoting mutual respect, free from the shackles of prejudice related to color or religion. In composing my book, these experiences have permeated not only this narrative …but also the forthcoming sequel.
