Book Review :
* I would rate it 4/5.
It is my first book I read by Vish Dhamija. I came across this book in my one of the Amazon`s book hunts. It is a neat thriller novel as the title itself speaks. The plot and the story line is quite engrossing as its every chapter ends with a hint of what can happen next, but honestly, this book is totally unpredictable. Though some parts of the story were a bit... no quite a lot of a drag eg: there is some tedious debauched content in the book which made me want to close it and place it back in the stack as an accessory to my collection, but thank god it did`nt happen, because as the story proceeded the plot got more convincing with each passing event.The plot sequence and the main outcome of the novel is simply genius. I wasn't expecting such an impactful climax. Initially, I was quite confused about the process of the story. But as aforementioned, as the story proceeded, the cat came out of the bag.
The first half of the book is slow paced with the introduction of some of the minor characters, a tinge of the story line and all the unnecessary debauchery I aforementioned. In some parts it also felt like the book is needlessly extended (especially the sensual scenes and other random events), without even the need of them being added. Another ridiculing element of the characterisation is that, that every character is a drunkard, let it be the antagonist or protagonist, except one person, that you would know who when you read the book .
The other half of the book is where the actual story begins, with the secrets and deeds getting unveiled gradually. It is the second part of the book which convinced me to change my mind from some of the snags I mentioned above. Another plus point in the second part and the climax of the story is the dexterous expression of the intricate scenes, those are the highlight of the book as a whole.
Now if you ask me to tell about the book in just one word than I would regard it as "Karmic". Because the wheels of Karma leaves no one unsquashed. And, yes I would recommend this book, not highly recommend but just casually recommend, u know what I mean ? Just with a bit of less excitement, but i would. =]
what the book is about :
Raaj and Serena are couple with a happy married life. Serena is out of the country in Singapore attending a business trip. One day due to some unknown reason a fire break into their apartment and Raaj gets burnt to death. After the police investigation, conducted by the Inspector Michael D`Cunha, he is unconvinced with the reason behind the accident. He reckon that the accident is instead an arson, and something conspicious has taken place. His doubt turns into motive as the couple`s close friend Kim slips into his radar and more evidences unveils. But when main culprit(s) is busted, the scenario takes a 360 degree turn.
I would definitely recommend this book.
Thank You.

Looking like an old book. Pages are redish. The printed price is lower than the amount shown by Amazon. Not satisfied with paper quality.

A nice one-time read but don't expect much. There is no suspense and the story is like that of any normal Bollywood movie.
