Review of Glitch in the System

Debuting as a compelling and uncompromisingly good read, Adam Aust's A Glitch in the System brings readers the forefront of the thriller genre with its riveting merging of sex, mystery and legal intrigue that has a dominatrix racing against time and the odds to solve an engulfing mystery that is completely destroying her life.

In a particularly fascinating and intriguingly creative narrative, author Aust treats his readers to a gripper of a story that successfully flows with the spine tingling continuity similar to other well-known thriller writers like John Grisham. The story is steeped in a plot infused with cleverly planned and flowing twists that lend to this being an adventurously scintillating read that you want to finish in one sitting.

Additionally, what is striking about this book is the raw and gritty nature of the story, coupled with alternating and unflinching eyewitness views to the destructive forces at work that use the legal system to utterly destroy the life of the story's unlikely heroine, Angela Gianni. Angela, a dominatrix with high profile clientele, suddenly finds herself in the midst of a maelstrom after her best friend Samara, a paid escort, disappears after coming to Angela's home in need of solace and a place to stay after breaking up with her boyfriend Preston Knighton, a charismatic, high profile attorney. Angela becomes alarmed after Samara leaves to get the remainder of her belongings at her ex-boyfriend's house and never returns.

Naturally dismayed by her friend's disappearance, Angela seeks help and looks for answers herself. 
However, she soon finds her normally quiet and successfully discreet life suddenly upended by the discovery of not only her friend's body; but the bodies of her own boyfriend and another client on her property.

Ramrodded by circumstances, Angela finds herself inexorably sucked into a deepening legal abyss swirling with sex, violence, vague memories, deceptions, and far-reaching malicious machinations.

Moreover, although represented by a top-notch attorney specializing in death row cases to represent her, things appear grim for Angela as she suffers tremendously. Her credibility is ruined, her life is continually threatened, and circumstantial evidence that makes her out to be a psychopathic murderer seemingly leaving her with nothing but the path to death row in her future.

Altogether absorbing, I enjoyed A Glitch in the System. It was a terrific adult-themed thriller rich with mystery, fortified by keen storytelling, well planned plot twists, and a uniquely sympathetic heroine. Fans of top-notch thrillers will definitely enjoy this read.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
