Silent Fires
By Poojitha G Prasad
For thriller lovers here a book that is bound to keep you engaged till the very end.
Two brothers having entirely different attributes are engaged in a mysterious case for the search for the wife of a superstar who vanished suddenly while on a trip.
Ashish is a renounced police officer. He is intelligent but charged with excess of ego, arrogancy and short temperament. When he can only think of one suspect Mavan,his brother accompanying him in the search for clues and taking photographs of the crime scenes, with his calm mind provides more angles to the case.
I like India based backdrops. It just makes the stories more easily imaginable.
As the story glides with an encapturing pace the sudden twists constantly add more intriguing elements to the plot making it a riveting read.
This story also touches upon a social issue. The narration pours in more enigma when at some point every character seems like a guilty participant of the crime.
Who is Arun, What happened to Shravya, Is she hidding or was murdered? What's the motive behind it all?
Many such questions start to pile up until the secrets start to unwrap one by one clearing the fog around them all.
