The Girl in Room 105 by Chetan Bhagat is a Crime Thriller. The girls who live in room 105 of Himadri hostel in IIT Delhi is Zara, she is an ex-girlfriend of Keshav who is a teacher at JEE Institute. Now she is the girlfriend of Raghu. It has been four years since there breakup but Keshav can't move over and disturbs her but with the help of his friend Saurabh he tries to recover. One day a message from Zara that makes him visit Zara. When he went into her room, she was dead with a red mark in her neck. Keshav informs the police, Rana is the policeman who investigates the case. The watchman of Himadri hostel was jailed for the murder but Keshav's instinct says the watchman is not the murderer and says to Rana.
Rana accused the watchman as the murderer because he needs promotion, but he said if Keshav finds the culprit surely he will help him. Apart from Raghu Zara had an affair with her school senior Faiz who was a married man working in Military, Keshav identifies many things about Zara finds some stuff from her locker which help him in the investigation. Raghu shows Keshav a mail where she berates Saxena. How she is suffering because of his torcher. First, he thinks Professor Saxena as the murdered because he said Zara to sleep with him so that he will help in completing her PhD. Keshav thinks Safdar, Zara's dad as the murderer as there is a chance of honour killing as she loved a Hindu man. Then they thought Sikander as the murderer who is a stepbrother who was close to her and was a part of the terrorist group. Zara often advises Sikander to get a job and come out of it. So maybe Sikander has killed her. Then he finds out her affair with Faiz and thinks he may have killed her. Keshav and Zara's dad plan to have a prayer to make the murderer come home and it was surprising for Safdar who he thought as the murderer was no the murderer. The climax had a twist as I thought.
The ending was predictable from the prologue continued in the mid of the story. I liked it. This book was so easy to read with lucid writing. This story gives me an idea of how Kashmiris suffer because of the frequent terrorist attack. Sometimes no connection to the world, The whole Indian State and UT are in peace except the Kashmir.]
I enjoyed this book. This is the first book I read from the author Chetan Bhagat. Wish to read his new release India Positive and other books by him.
