Book Synopsis
Dishonorably dismissed from the police force,
Roy has been
condemned to a life of obscurity. The twist in the tale comes with the
murder of a well-known man in the Mumbai finance circle. Roy is hired by
the self made tycoon Jayesh Kumar to probe the case. While Roy is
excited at the chance at redemption, he fails to understand why he
became the chosen one.
What looks at first an open and shut case, quite rapidly evolves into a tale
of deceit and revenge. Roy must take care not to fall for the suspect, and
not to see things as they appear. As his personal life gets tied to the
success of the case, the question becomes, not whether he can have
faith in strangers, but whether he can trust his friends.
Inspired from real life cases, The Monsoon Murders is a
fast-paced detective novel, taking the Indian crime fiction genre to
mysterious depths.
My Review
The
Monsoon Murders as the title itself reflect that book consists of murders and
the suspect keeping on rolling as new characters keep on introducing in the
book. Roy, a terminated police officer was hired to solve the murder mystery of
leading financial company Fox Captial ltd. , but was not clear why only he was
hired for solving such a high profile case. The book on revealing so many
hidden facts that they will blow your mind because Author has wonderfully
played with his writing skills. This book is a page turned and is not guessing
at all. The book title and the cover is
very unique and apt, they both goes with the story.
Narration- The narration of
the book was fast paced and keeps your mind engrossed to know more and the
question WHO? A brisk read and imagination level of Author is above par. Enjoyable!!!
Language –
The language of the book have has amazed me. The topic is very well researched.
Positive Punch!!! Author has made be hooked to the book till the last page,
even for a second I don’t felt like keeping the book down.
Characters I enjoyed
the most –
Roy
Konte- Roy who was an ex-police officer, a forensic
investigator and a loner all his life. Being the main lead of the story Roy
kept on surprising us, somewhere with his command on his subject and somewhere
as a person with delicate heart who kept on saving the suspect who was not responsible
for the murders.
Shantanu-
Police Commissioner, who preach his duty and hard nutshell to crack. Shantanu is like a police officer which we
look for in our lives. He not only workshiped his work but also have a
sensible mind and loves to respect individual.
Jayesh
Kumar- The string on which the book revolves. Jayesh, an old fellow in his mid
sixties and a tycoon of financial company, a close friend of victim and a mind
player.
Portions which I
enjoyed the most –
Book
consists of so many refreshing segments that I am running short of words whom
to point out. For a moment I thought yes I knew who the suspect is but again
when I flip the page I discovered a lot of mystery is still nestled.
But
I personally loved the way Author research a lot on the topic so deeply. Once
the protagonist Roy was describing to other Police Official how the accused was
murdered. That portion totally left me flabbergasted the lines and the scenes
will roll on my mind and I was actually living with the book.
Other
portion which completely took me aback was when the book reached to its
ultimate climax. We all are victim of
someone’s bonafide deed or indirect harm they cause to us, and then a new self immerged
from within. For a moment we realize that nothing like humanity exist and then
we take the laws in our hands which affect much life. So were the ending pages
of book. A wail of man who lost his everything back and again but took avenge
of his agony.
Negative Punch –1.Need a bit
editing
2.
Character description could have been better.
Book Recommendation- Whoever would read
this book will be amazed and content. I cannot ask only crime fiction lovers to
read this book but it is recommended to everyone. Those who have not read genre
of this kind will develop reading more after this book.
Overall Rating – I would be delighted
to rate The Monsoon Murders 4.5/5 stars for keeping the promise of entertaining
its reader. It’s a thrilled read.
