Review-
Plot- As far as the plot is concerned it is quite impressive I must say. Though there are no complexity in the plot and it is pretty simple, but it certainly contains the element of suspense in it. The plot is engaging and successfully creates an air of mystery throughout. The climax was quite unexpected for me and I like the fact that the author has tried to attempt something unique.
Writing Style- Now if I talk about the writing style, it is quite good for a debut author. The choice of words are simple and anyone with the basic knowledge of english can read and enjoy it.
Narration- The narration is good but I was expecting a bit more experiment on the part of the author. The story is important but how you are presenting it also makes a huge difference. Sometimes good stories fail to create the expected impact on the readers due to the employment of wrong narrative styles. I think a bit more work is needed on the narration part.
Character Construction- Well, the character construction is quite good. I liked the character construction of Suhaasini, Superstar Raaj and Inspector Ramachandra very much.As a debut work the author has done an impressive job.
I also loved the way the author has presented the inner conflicts of the characters. I enjoyed going through the work and unearth the mystery with Suhaasini. As far as the title is concerned, it is apt and the cover image perfectly portrays the theme of the work.Overall, it was a good read.
I give this work 4 stars and recommend this book to the thriller lovers.
Happy Reading
