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 !!!

May had already started and the sun was showing his hotness to everyone. Everyone was busy in their life and had a very hectic schedule. My college vacation had started and so I was back to home. It was the second week of May and mother’s day was coming. For me, I never really needed any particular day to celebrate it as mother’s day because each and every day was her day. But I decided to make that one day a special one for her. I planned a surprise for her. On the afternoon of 9th may, I called up my best friend, Srishti and said, “see, you need to help me out in planning a surprise for mummy.” “What am I getting in return to do this?” she replied. I said, “Shut up idiot!” and we both laughed. I continued, “See the plan is going to be like, you’ll call her up and tell that you want to go out with me and do some shopping. Even mummy will go for some grocery shopping tomorrow. So we’ll go to the market and buy the necessary things we need and we’ll come back home while she’ll still

A perfect title for this so very short story of friendship! :D IndiBlogger is an interesting site but I never thought that I would be getting a best buddy over there. Unexpected things do happen and this happened to me.  On 6th of April, I got a mail from IndiBlogger telling, “You have been added to the network of Depanjan Chowdhury , a blogger from Kolkata…….” I went off to IndiBlogger to check out his profile. Well then I added him back to my network and checked out his blog . His write-ups were awesome and I loved them. Depanjan Chowdhury. On 9th of April, I read all his posts and voted for them on IndiBlogger and his posts deserved those votes! Time passed off easily while reading his posts and then I was back to my old-boring-jobless life. WhatsApping, facebooking, blogging, eating, reading, and the list goes on… Suddenly at 10 P.M or so, I got a notification on my phone regarding Instagram telling me, “Depanjan Chowdhury ( @bengaliceo ) has requested
