The Cover
The
title and then the subtitle very clearly states the contents of the book. Blood
dripping from the corner of an eye is very obvious image for the title plot.
For thriller lovers, despite all revealing details, I still found it good one
to be picked up from the shelves.
What I Felt About the Book
The
opening line itself does not disappoint its readers and the first and most
important chapter makes sure readers is glued to the pages. The book has all
elements of a crime, suspense and a thriller. The news debate, court room
trials, police interrogations etc. made it look all real and attractive.
What I Liked About the
Book
1. Last
Chapter - I absolutely loved this one. Actually, the plot was very obvious and
predictable. So, the last chapter makes it all worth reading the whole book.
2. It’s
a Woman’s Story – I love any and all stories related to women and this one did
not disappoint me.
What I Did Not Like
About the Book
1. I
know it’s not fair to include same point in likes and dislikes. But then, I so
wish there were quite a few casual hints to the ultimate catch it in between
the story - without making the reader think about it.
2. The
author decided to pay attention to only the main plot and thus might have
missed his chance to include some small yet interesting sections like the state
of children - innocence, curiosity and the hidden fear.
The
author – ‘Madhav Mahidhar’ did his homework well and came up with really
interesting debates on news and courtrooms. The complete chapter of Madhumita’s
interrogation wasan interesting read – I read it very slowly as if I were to
answer those crucial questions!
‘Blood
in the Paradise -A tale of an impossible murder’ is thus a good pick for a
weekend or an overnight read.
