Blurb:
A politically driven criminal syndicate tries to steal a
valuable ancient artifact, The Aravan Head, from a very old temple of the
transgenders in Hijravan. Police officer Arya foils the well planned attempt.
The incident unfolds a deadly secret that connects to a series of mind-boggling
crimes which points to an unlikely person of tremendous authority in the
political & business circles of Mumbai. With his friends kidnapped, his own
people involved with the criminals and himself facing departmental enquiry,
Arya is strangulated from all sides. Meanwhile in Delhi, 4 college girls,
fed-up with the canteen food, hire a cook. While they expect an old, typically
professional person, they are in for a great surprise that leaves them sweetly
shocked. But the surprise is short lived after a beautiful transgender arrives
at their bungalow revealing secrets that baffle them. Unfortunately the lives
of the 4 girls become a nightmare along with that of the transgender. Did Arya
arrest the main perpetrator behind all the crimes? What dangers did the
Transgender bring to the girls? Did they survive the deadly situation they were
pushed into? What price did Arya pay to win?
Review:
There was a time when I would read only love stories. And
today, I am intrigued with crime thrillers. Mystery, suspense bring in the
adrenaline rush and try my best to finish reading such books in a day or two.
However, this particular book took a long time. Reason – deadlines at work and
my mini vacation. I feel very happy to post my review.
The story revolves around Arya, the inspector and his quest
on finding the person who attempted the theft of the Aravan Head. I had never
heard about the Aravan Head so the first thing I did was a little bit of
research about it.
The story has been narrated in different manner. One moment
it talks about the happenings in one city while the next about some other. It
was a bit confusing to me at first but then I got used to the kind of
narration. The story has been well plotted. The author reveals the story bit
after bit and so the mystery. The story keeps you hooked on to this book. The
characters are plotted well.
The Aravan Head is one such book which you would want to
finish in one sitting.
I rate:
Cover: 3/5
Characters: 4/5
Story: 4/5
My overall rating for The Aravan Head is 4/5 stars.
You can book your copies of this book on Amazon
