Review of Crematorium
Crematorium is a psychological crime thriller written by Marilyn Benner Sowyak. It revolves around the life of Maggie Bennett, an E.R. nurse at St. Vincent's hospital, and her mission to resolve the state of difficulty that had recently occurred to her. Maggie had been married to Kale, but he had left her after six months with a ton of debt and no explanation. She immersed herself in work to deal with her pain. Her peace is disturbed the day a patient of hers, tagged "Trauma Scott" because he had no identification, dies under her watch gruesomely. Immediately following this incident, her attorney visited to notify her of her husband's death; apparently, his car brakes had failed.
Detective Hanes seems to believe that these deaths were an act of homicide, but he lacks the evidence to further the case. On the other hand, Maggie has found some evidence to connect "Trauma Scott" to her husband; she believes that someone wanted them dead. When strange events start happening around her, she believes that this "someone" might also be after her. To know more about how Maggie handles the investigation, tackles her foes, and possibly finds love again, do pick up this book.
Reading Crematorium was a beautiful experience. The book turned out to be a perfect blend of suspense, action, mystery, and humor. Throughout its three-hundred-and-six pages, there was no dull moment. From the moment I started reading, I was hooked; myriad emotions ran through me; sometimes I was sad, and other times I was happy that things seemed to be going Maggie's way. Marilyn told the story from the third-person narrative, centering on the lives of Maggie, Benny, Sam, and Ivan; I enjoyed this as I had an overview of the character's actions as they unfolded. The grammar was relatable; I was scared there'd be many medical terms in the book, but this was not the case. Although this book was fictional, its themes were realistic; its plot also had depth.
The only thing I disliked about the book was the arrangement. The book's chapters were too short; I saw some with just three pages at one point. I did not appreciate that, as it only broke the flow of my reading. Every other thing in the book was presented well, from the character development to the storyline. I liked that the end was not predictable. In all, it was an intriguing read. I spotted only two errors while reading; they did not interfere with my reading experience.
For its beautiful storyline and realistic themes, Crematorium by Marilyn Benner Sowyak deserves a perfect rating of 4 out of 4. I recommend this to readers who love to read crime and action thrillers, detective stories, and psychological thrillers. Readers who enjoy books with complex plots would find this worth their time.
