By Prashanth Chakkula

This is a mystery story which is pivoted around the story of a couple. Chaarvi a young lady married to a loving and caring man named Rishi. The first scene starts with their walk towards their flat, surrounded by dark foggy atmosphere.
Here the other side characters are also introduced who meet and greet them one by one. But a sudden accident of one bring in the first twist. As they try to recover Chaarvi entangles into a strange psychological problem or atleast she or her husband thinks so.
The psychiatrist is also baffled by the same when Chaarvi tells that she is a bibliophile and whatever books she reads the characters in real life start haunting her.
The story has a fast pace that I really liked. The plot is unique but their are some loopholes as well. The narration falls flat at times and it felt like I was reading a fragmented stage drama. But otherwise the story carries the mystery till the end point in a very good way as the final twist was not predictable.
More questions start to pile up. Is she having a rare medical problem of imagining things? Or she is getting messages from the beyond about something more deep? Who are Rishi, Amod and Bhavana? What secrets unveil later?
Read to unfold it by yourself if you are into mystery genre books.
