Blurb :
And if it isn’t, then…
Along with his assistant, the deeply loyal but irascible, devil-may-care Inspector Munuswamy, DSP Arjun leaves no stone unturned in investigating the case where surprise upon labyrinthine surprise awaits them until they arrive at the final conclusion.
DSP Arjun Iyer and his assistant
Munuswamy investigate the case of death of a District Magestrate- Govind
Pratap. It looks like a case of suicide- an open and shut case until a phone
call tells them it is a murder! The two investigate and uncover the murderer.
There are a lot of characters in
this and each one [apart from the police department men] look like the suspect.
Arjun Iyer wades through the interviews and investigates the case from all
angles to catch the killer.
The background of each and every
member of the Magistrates family and house helpers’ makes you wonder what sort
of people they are and why they behaved in such ways. It is all justified and
the death of the Magistrate brings out all the secrets in their lives.
The plot is good but I was able
to sort of guess the killer but the author has a story behind it that I did not
expect.
There are several twists and
turns in the plotline and each time the ‘killer’ is pin pointed, something
comes up to exempt him / her from that situation.
My Reccomendation:
If you love murder mystery /
thrillers you will not mind this slightly lengthy read and will surely enjoy
solving the case enjoying Arjun Iyer’s
annotations and Munuswamy’s nonchalant off-hand remarks!
A huge thanks to Writers Melon and Notion Press for the review copy!
