123A fantastic read! The tension builds perfectly—just when you feel like the truth is a step away, the story twists, and the real truth isn't revealed until the final ten pages. Absolutely amazing; I was completely hooked.
At first, I thought Hastings was just dragging his feet and getting in Poirot's way. However, I quickly realized he was acting exactly how a normal person would actually behave at a crime scene. Before long, their dynamic really grew on me, and I loved watching their interactions. Plus, the way the detective's mind works is absolutely fascinating to follow.

!!A fantastic recap for my own career development. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand the world of BMS. It covers everything from fundamental knowledge to the advanced considerations of a seasoned BMS engineer. From my perspective, it comprehensively spans all the domain knowledge required for success in this field—ranging from basic electronics and mechanical theories to software and application design. While it may not dive deeply into every individual topic, it serves as an excellent, comprehensive overview of the essential concepts and mindset a BMS or control engineer should possess.
As engineers, we must always keep up with shifting industries and technologies, but let us never forget that engineering fundamentals are the indispensable foundation of our profession.
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes

The Sherlock Holmes series is an all-time classic for a reason—the stories are brilliant and total page-turners. Honestly, the only downside is the older language. It takes a little extra effort to get through the non-modern phrasing, but the mystery is well worth it.
Criminology - A Complete Introduction

I found this book by chance at TK Maxx and bought it for a friend who loves criminology. While waiting to head back to Hong Kong to give it to her, I've been reading a chapter a day. Surprisingly, it’s a very accessible read for a non-native English beginner like me. Aside from some technical jargon, the vocabulary is simple, and the concepts and logic are explained beautifully. The author also uses plenty of historical UK cases to back up his theories.
As a complete newcomer to the subject, I found it fascinating. It gave me a fresh perspective on crime, social structures, and order. While I might not dive deeper into the field, it’s a highly recommended read for anyone who has ever wondered what criminology is actually about.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
