Description : A beautiful woman is found brutally murdered in her bed. The usual suspects are arrested by the police until an odd-ball amateur sleuth starts to investigate. Something about the murder does not sit right with him. To start with, the victim – Rupali, a regular housewife living in marital bliss. But is that the truth? Why would someone murder her and why did she meet such a gruesome end? Who, in reality, was she? Introducing major bartaman bhowmick, southern command of the Indian Army. Peace-time Army life and supportive seniors allow major bhowmick to indulge in his hobby and passion – crime detection. His sharp investigative talents are highly valued by his cousin, an ACP in Pune. Robin Chowdhury is a city crime reporter, whose combination of keen intellect, attractive looks and affinity for all things tech, makes her a great sidekick for the major. This book is as much about rupali’s astounding story as her murder and major bhowmick and Robin’s investigation into the murder with its surprising conclusion.
Book review : This book was picked by me because of 2 things, 1sr the genre I like thrillers, mysteries and 2nd the name is what attracted me.
This book is narrated so well even though there are 2 timelines you wont get confused. It’s about a murder case of Rupali. The two investigators Betty and Robin are soo brilliantly written that you cannot stop reading this book. The plot is amazing. The language keeps us intrigued till the end and only at that time the mystery unfolds.
The book is small in size and is somewhere around 300 pages so that’s a plus point that you can finish it even in one sitting. Brilliantly written for a debut author
