Book Review: Seduced by Murder

In my view:

Crime thrillers are always interesting to read. Enthralling and intriguing are the stories of crimes, steps picked up to trace and arrest the criminal. It keeps you hooked up to the proceedings, plots and characters. Crime Thrillers have always been my favourite, and this week I read an amazing crime thriller by Saurabh Katyal – Seduced by Murder.

Story-in-Short:

The morning after a party, Anil; son of Industrialist Paras Kapooris found murdered in the lawns of their house. Albeit police forces are called, Aditi, wife of Sunil (Anil’s brother) calls a private detective.

Seduced by Murder by Saurbh KatyalVishal Bajajis an intelligent, bright and a smart detective who, from his preliminary investigations itself, comprehends that someone from the family has hand in this murder. Suspicion revolves around every family member but Vishal tries to procure evidence against the actual criminal. It comes to picture that Anil was a homosexual and had a lover named Leo who tries to leave the country with a heavy amount.

Anil’s brother and father, both come under the scanner too, as Sunil is seen hurtling behind Anil, before his death and Paras knew about the homosexuality of his slacker son. Anil was married. His wife very well knew that he was a homo and possibilities are designated that she could have done this as a part of revenge.

Bearing the interference of cops, Vishal pursues his investigation. He tries to acquire information from as many people as possible. He puts in all his effort to crack this case. As the story progressed, my fascination towards it went on multiplying.

My Take-on:

This story that Saurabh Katyal brings, is an intriguing one with fascinating twist of events. Saurabh should be credited for the way he has written the story. First of all it is based on a fresh, new concept and secondly, the suspense unfolds amazingly in the end. The story has twists and turns which will glue readers to the story. Also, dialogues have been dealt-off wittily and they are going to collectively entertain readers.

The author systematically brings facts in limelight and finally cracks the murder mystery. He has described each character with mighty care and details, thus readers won’t find it difficult to relate to them. The author builds up the story in such a manner that reader’s find it difficult to presume about the murderer and go ahead to find more. Hence, the author has intelligently avoided the story from turning into a predictable one.

Although the cover is okay but the title is little confusing as this book does not deal with erotica at all, no matter how much the title is indicating. Seduced by Murder is an all-in-all awesome mysterious suspense thriller. I just wish the author could have come up with a better & suitable title. And also, I found the last chapter bit unnecessary. Nevertheless, I am sure that the author will consider my suggestions for his future projects.

Concluding the review, I would call ‘Seduced by Murder’ – a stimulating and exciting piece of work. I am sure that readers will enjoy the story and so, I am recommending it to each one of them!
