Book Title: The Sinners
Author: Sourabh Mukherjee
Format: Paperback
Book Title:
The title of the book ‘ The Sinners ‘ is intense and mystical. I find the title very invigorating as always. As a reader, I cannot resist praising Author Sourabh for his interest in picking up catchy titles.
Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is a woman in her party dress with a cocktail or a wineglass in hand. The skyscrapers in the overlay of the image suggest the story is set up in a big city. Looking at the woman’s attire it can also be decided that it is a story within the corporate field.

About the book:
The Sinners is a fast-paced thriller that weaves together elements of corporate warfare and personal vendetta. This is a whodunit about primitive, caveman instincts of those creating futuristic technology, and the complicated dynamics of relationships in the modern urban society.
A decadent womanizer drunk on power, a wife battling her demons to hold the family together, a jilted lover who swears revenge, the best-friend-turned-foe in the corporate jungle, a seductive temptress whose charms none can escape, a ruthless business rival, the shadow of a sinful past.
My review:
Often in the pursuit of quick success, people often take steps that may prove to be fatal or beneficial. If it is beneficial, all will be happy. But, unfortunately, if it proves to be fatal then comes the question of the blame game, morale check, and realization.
The initial pages of the story talk about Vikram Oberoi’s death. This is the point where an amazing story starts. In the inquiry, it is brought to the notice that Vivek is a man of immorals that are absolutely unforgiving and damaging. He is a womanizer and man of improper ways of bossing. One such encounter with his reportee Sonal proves to be ever mangling.
With his impure intentions, the company starts getting into losing projects and clients. Unaware of the happenings he continues tarrying in his own fantasy world. When he realizes his company lost a great number of deals he starts investigating and comes to know that there has been a heavy leakage of the company’s exclusive information. Shocked by the insider trading Vivek’s thoughts go awry. What happens further is the story. The author’s story of molding the story as per a character’s perspective stands highlight. Though the plot is not so unique it is all about the narration.
What I like:
1. The awesome plot which is so bling and scintillating.
2. The real struggles of an employee and employer who get into deep waters for the lustful actions
3. The matured content in the story is absolutely alluring
4. As always the author pleases his readers with those tinkling sparks of romance in his own style.
5. The pace with which the story runs is worth appreciating.
6. There is no good or evil human but it’s just humane things which make a change is very clearly explained with the characters in the story.
7. No one is the hero as well the villain. It is all situational and from different perspectives, the conclusion comes from.
8. The ugly truths that exist in corporate offices are described well
What I didn’t like:
The story ended with a low note. As a fan of the author’s writing, I wanted to read more of it!
Characters:
Unique and perfect characterization is observed in the story. It is difficult to come to a conclusion about the virtue of each character. Such is the wonderful writing.
Narration:
A clear and vivid narration is found in the story though there are many characters. Nowhere the readers will be confused. The narration makes the readers run through a turbine of twists and turns with a steamy story.
Language & Grammar:
Colloquial language is found in the story. It makes the book a fast read.
My Final Verdict:
Saucy, racy, steamy and thought-provoking game of morals and values.

The story starts with the newsflash about the shocking suicide of Vikram Oberoi, head of operations of NextGen Technologies as he's found dead in his penthouse, wrist slashed with a kitchen knife.Rewind back to the days leading to the event, we get to know more about Vikram, his life, work, corporate culture, weakness and his strengths and what/who must have led him to make this horrid decision to end his life! Enter into the world of the posh and spectacular corporate culture where everyone seems to be in competition with each other and nothing is as good as it looks!Now let's see what I really want liked about the book!This is a great book, a very honest and bold portrayal of what happens in the modern corporate world where people each other to climb the ladder and money is all that matters. There's always a bit of fact embedded into the fiction and I really liked the idea of it.Sourabh Mukherjee's writing is power packed with an amazing pace, hot steamy scenes, twists, suspenses, you name it! A good director could make a perfect blockbuster bollywood movie out of the book and I'm not kidding. It will be great catch to watch the plot on big screen with color, glamour and poshness!The author is also a great manipulator. He throws in so many characters in every chapter and makes sure they're all there to do suspicious things, thus becoming unreliable. A reader can never guess what's going to happen next, or who is going to do what, as none of these many characters are reliable and always seem to be in a dilemma.With that note, I'd like to discuss what I did not enjoy in the book.The fact the author uses women as sex weapons to seduce and manipulate men on higher positions to get the job done is a bit low, even for a fictional novel. I'm also against displaying men as weaker sex, falling head over heels in lust over girls dressed in short skirts and clingy tops! Surely, there are better, stronger men who could resist and control themselves and be honest with their spouses and still be a CEO of a company! Is it that hard to imagine? I don't think so.So. Many. Characters! My my, it was a real struggle to keep up with the names and places. Just as you think you are up with the plot, a new character comes in and you're left in the dark again, trying to connecting the dots. It's a bit annoying at times, as this happens so often that I'd to write it down to not forget. Anyway, the pace of book helped me move further and I'd read the book in a single sitting. Now that's something, right?!The Sinner by Sourabh Mukherjee is a great entertainer and has every element to make a blockbuster bollywood movie!
