BOOK REVIEW OF "In The Shadows of Death".

-


Blurb:

 Sheetal Mehra, HR executive with Crescent Technologies, is found murdered in the toilet of a Kolkata hotel after an office party. ACP Agni Mitra finds out about her adulterous ways as he starts investigating into the murder. The miffed husband, a lecherous boss, one of her many jilted admirers – anyone could have killed her. The investigation is stuck in myriad perplexing questions when the murder of Meenakshi Menon, a Director with Altius Finance, hits the headlines. As more murders rock the city, it is not too long before the battle of wits with his unseen adversary turns personal for Agni. A ruthless killer walking the rain-washed streets of Kolkata. A detective battling storms brewing in his private life. Human relations infested with deceit. A generation struggling to cope with fast-changing ambitions and desires. In the Shadows of Death is a gripping page-turner with a heart-rending emotional core.

 My Review:

 The entire narrative is engrossing without a single superficial line. The reader cannot afford to relax in between and postpone the reading of the unread portion. The language is enchanting. The flow is smooth.  The novel portrays a deep truth regarding the ruthless corporate world.
The author's unique knack of first folding and then unfolding a mystery is spot on. Further Sourabh focusses on the psychological aspect of the incidents and go through deep into the mental world of her characters and delves the psychological reasons for whatever they did. 
With this book, the author has launched a new detective character series. Summing up, everything falls in line in "In The Shadows of Death". The Character of Agni Mitra is fascinating and the author has produced a novel that is mysterious, intriguing ramble you can't put down in any cost

  Can't wait for the upcoming Agni Mitra novels. Highly Recommended !!!

“Stop crying Ashna, he was not the one for you.” Said Tanaya. “No Tanu, it’s not about that. He cheated me for no reason and I trusted him blindly. He had broken my trust earlier too, but I trusted him like a fool for the fourth time.” I said and started crying again. It was my mistake to trust Abhishek blindly, had I not done that, today I would not have been crying. My friends did warn me for loving him, they told me that this guy is not good but I was madly in love with him. This time he left me just because of a misunderstanding caused by an online brother, the one now I regret calling a brother. Had he not been a part of my life, I would have been happy with Abhishek. But as said, things happen for good. I wish Abhishek had some sense and solved the matter with me, we would have been together. I was into depression just because of him. Blades became my best friend which helped me hurt myself by cutting my hands. I knew this was not right but I was not the old Ashna, I was the ...

“Papa, Papa, Papa. We’ll go to Aquatica (water park) this Sunday, please?” I said. “Ok beta, we’ll surely go.” Replied papa and I hugged him. It was Saturday afternoon when papa came upstairs from the shop for the lunch. He took his lunch and a small nap and went back to the shop downstairs. After he went down, he had a sudden pain in his chest. The employees took him to his cabin and made him lie down. The condition worsened and then the employee decided to call and inform the family members. He called and said, “Ma’am, sir is sick. He is having a serious pain in his chest.” After hearing this, Deepa, my mother ran downstairs with the hot water bag. Things were normal for a while but again he felt the pain and he was unable to bear it. Seeing this, the employees suggested my mother to call the ambulance and take him to the hospital. The ambulance came and papa was taken DSP (Durgapur Steel Plant) main hospital. The weather then turned out to be rainy and the storm started. It w...
