Review

It was a short read. I finished in one sitting. Quality of writing is commendable. The plot, the structuring, the characterisation are worth investing your time on. What was open and shut case prima facie, turned out something different, which was a relief. The author is adept in dealing with human emotions. It’s not mind boggling but once I started, I didn’t want to put it down before I reached the end.

My Rating : 3.8/5 🌟

P.S. I had received a digital review copy of the book in exchange of an honest review. Thank you Chital Mehta.
