Re: Review of Sage: A Murder Mystery Book 1

Post by Alice Heritage »

I used to read a lot of murder mysteries a long time ago, including many classics, but if they featured LBGTQ+ people they were unsympathetic stereotypes. So it's good to know of something more enlightened and with the times, and this sounds like a fascinating psychological thriller in general. I'm tempted to check this out, though I find poor editing distracting. Great review, thanks!

I almost gave the book two stars, but I had to give the author credit for her sensitive portrayal of Sage. I wish those editing issues could be addressed, though. Thanks for passing by, comrade!

An exquisite character with more exquisite life background. Even the book will be portraying an emotional graph of Sage's life history, and I already can feel some sensitising punctures being made in my skull due to the intensity of the subject, I still want to read this piece of content due to the extraordinary way the review was presented. What an amazing review! Honestly the right rhythms were touched and highlighted not giving more than requisited hints.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. I currently am suffering from a reading slump, and I need something mysterious and riveting to get back to reading. I think I would read and enjoy this book the soonest I get my hands on it. This is something that would keep me up late at night. Thank you so much for the wonderful review!

I hope Sage does not disappoint you. Do tell me how it goes. And say "hi" to the roach for me. I kinda miss it.

A psychological thriller that sheds light on the struggles of the LGBTQ community sounds intriguing. But, I don't think I am ready to handle the sexual content and the heavy emotional burden of this book. Great review! Thanks for your feedback.

I like mysteries solved with the help of a psychotherapist. I believe such a writing style gives a story a necessary depth :) The book seems to be a promising premise to the series. Thanks for a great review!

I am always careful in choosing mystery books to read because whenever I read, I always imagine myself to be the protagonist. Whatever happens in the book I am reading, it affects my mood and sometimes even my attitude towards others. I am intrigued to read this one and maybe I'll try.
