Sometimes we find ourselves in messy situations, but instead of facing the situation head-on, we look for shortcuts or try to cover them. These shortcuts eventually end up creating more problems that need to be covered up. Redrum Reversed by E. Welling tells the story of how one event leads to a series of murders and uncovering of secrets, lies, and deceit.

Peter and Lisa lived in a small village with their daughter, Epephania. Peter's eldest sister, Thelma, loved Epephania so much that she willed all her riches to her. Davico, Peter's cousin, was a doctor in the West. He was rich and educated, but he had some archaic beliefs inculcated by his grandfather. One of these beliefs was that he was to marry in the family to keep the riches in the family. Davico had a lot of money but never liked spending, so he hoarded his riches for his future family. When Davico realized that his cousin had a daughter, he came to visit them. He also made his intentions known to them. Davico realized that taking Epephania from them would be harder than he thought, and would bring up unnecessary problems, so he opted to kidnap her. This decision by Davico would later result to a series of murders. Grab a copy of this book to find out what bizarre secrets are uncovered in this story.

I enjoyed the storyline of this book. Intriguing, captivating, engrossing, enigmatic, engaging, and epic are just some of the words I can use to describe this book. I love how the tension builds up in the story to establish the conflict that drives the plot forward. The conflict in this story can be described as person vs nature. I've always thought that man is naturally a selfish being, and when pushed to the edge, that selfish nature gets the better of us. Nevertheless, it also shows that we can nurture ourselves to be better. When we constantly choose the right path instead of the easier path, it slowly becomes a part of us and overshadows that selfish nature. The book also shows us that education is not just about getting a degree or living in a fancy environment. Davico is an example. He was a medical doctor and lived in the West, but still had archaic beliefs because they were instilled in him from a young age, and he refused to open his mind to learning new things.

What I disliked about this book were the errors I encountered. They were numerous. The book also lacked proper structuring. The first twenty-three pages were numbered; then a few pages were skipped. Two more pages are numbered twenty-two and twenty-three again, and the rest of the pages are left unnumbered. Nevertheless, the story was fascinating. The book contained several thought-provoking themes. The book also contained the elements of surprise and suspense. The book was also action-packed and exhilarating. It contained major and minor characters that were well-developed. The scenes were also well-developed.

The book lacked professional editing. I came across several errors, and I think another round of editing would be needed. Nevertheless, the book had several positive aspects, as I've stated in the above paragraphs. I'm therefore rating Redrum Reversed by E. Welling 3 out of 4 stars. I'm deducting one star because of the errors I encountered while reading the book. I recommend this book to lovers of crime thrillers.
