Re: Review of Murder in the Garbage

Post by Yasmine Zaki Muhieddine »

Thank you for your honest review. The author here pulls us in to reflect on the garbage collectors and the work they do, and he takes the opportunity to mention how much, people waste food. I like that. The storyline is good, it is a murder mystery, it gives hope for a thriller, but the thrill never comes. That's disappointing.

The book seems to have a good plot. Your review was thorough and sincere. The book's lack of thrill will make anyone lose interest. Nice review. Congrats on winning BOTD.

The workers are overworked and underpaid, this could be one of the reasons behind the death of the CEO. But why murder him in the garbage, I'll like to find out. Nice review.

Trafficking of stolen military weapons is really illegal. This review is well-detailed. I know the book will be suspenseful and fascinating. I look forward to reading this piece. Nice review. Congratulations on BOTD.

The name attracted me to want to read it, but the review sounds confusing and complex. I will love to read it tho but when I see a better review. Congratulations on BOTD

This kind of book will leave you wondering why the CEO was killed, even though it was not stated clearly that he was killed. Nice review!

This plot of this novel is not so clear. Maybe reading it would help me understand it more. Crime thrillers are intriguing. I wonder what’s the role of Raoul in all of this.

I love the storyline. It's engaging and suspenseful. The overworked and underpaid workers have every motive to harm the CEO. I'm curious to know if and how the murderer would be found. Thanks for a nice review.

Thanks for the honest review . Hoping the author has taken note of your points and will improve the next edition. I agree that solving a crime mystery through a conversation over a dining table is just too simplistic.

Also, there is some stereotyping of Latinos and women,
And garbage truckers, and just people overall. Like assuming the main character is smart because he's a young good looking man, as he received.
And I only read the sample!

Thank you for your honest and detail review. I really appreciated the heads up.

I don't see any reason why women would be stereotyped. I'm offended at such because I seem it highly disrespectful, and as such I'll be skipping this book. Your review is excellently penned down. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

I hope the stereotypical representation is removed in the next edition. But I like how this thriller novel makes readers aware of the problem of food wastage.

It'll be interesting to see how Hank Boucher solves the mystery of the dead CEO as well as the illegal network involved in trafficking stolen military weapons. This seems like it'll be a suspenseful read as well. Congrats on BOTD.
