The Boy That Never Was by Kate Perry is a tale of love, grief, loss and deceits . Karen Perry is the pseudonym for Paul Perry and Karen Gillece.

On the way to Curtin, there are lakes on both sides of the road as ...

Why did it have to end so soon? That was my lament after I finished the last page of Keigo Higashino’s “Malice” last night. It is an evocative page-turner that I can hardly put down once I started reading it and is definitely one of the most captivating books I have read this year. This is the fifth Keigo Higashino’s ...

I wasn’t aware that there is a speech-to-text function on WhatsApp until my sister informed us about it in our family WhatsApp chat last night.
