A Saga of love, lust, betrayal and revenge

 



This is the first crime thriller I have read. There were different plots which are connected to each other. The first plot where Alice kills her Stepfather and moves from city to city to protect herself. Naithy is a rich businesswoman who married a 10-year younger model after her first husband died in Taj hotel terrorist attack in Mumbai.

The next plot is about Arun and Prem who moves to Delhi and converted as Christians and later they move to Mumbai. Arun married a Hindu girl from an upper caste. when she knows the truth she moved away and her father tried to kill Arun using supari. But Arun was escaped because of his younger brother who was well versed in Kalari - an Indian martial art. Arun is known as rat Arun because he gets into the house of rich and steals money. Once he took his brother to a house, took the money, raped the women after using chloroform on her. Even her brother Prem too raped her. 

Naithy wanted to kill the one who raped her so she gave money to police and Arun was encountered by a Police named Pandey but rape case was not filed. Prem wants to take revenge and he kills the police officer Pandey and goes again to the house of Naithy and rape her again but can't kill her as he admired her and she was the first woman he loved.

There is another plot where Bhanu Pratap Singh who migrated to Mumbai and served as a driver for a Bollywood director's son and later the driver of underworld dawn Mia Sadiq which was also a connection to the plot.

Prem tries to find the mystery in his brother's death and soon comes to know about Tony D' Souza and his connection with LTTE and ISI as he became a good hacker and hacked police information and account of Tony. He even finds where was Alice and the climax was something I didn't expect.

Prakash was the Investigator of the case who find the connections between everything that happened around and saves Alice and Naithy.

I just don't want to give more spoiler...

I loved Alice who was so different and intelligent and always did things cautiously to protect herself and her mother. Another character which I liked was Prem as he was a geek who learned hacking just to revenge and learned many more things to protect himself. He was a daring person.

The Missing Piece


     The missing piece is a story about Keisha and Clive. Keisha is a PhD student who is researching giving beetroot juice for heart-broken patients. Once she got a new subject named Clive who was heartbroken because of something that doesn't happen really. Clive asks Keisha for knowing the truth as he feels something of the part he said felt real to him and he wants to know what really happened. To know whether Nancy existed or not.

    Keisha is a rare girl, who always checks her pulse there is some story behind it. Her friend Tess helps her to find a partner for Keisha using a dating app, giving her a 100 dating challenge so in the 100 dates she will find a one for her. Keisha felt as she needs to help Clive.

    George is one of the nurses in the ward of Clive who helped him and Keisha in finding the truth. There were a lot of kind peoples in this story - Tess, Keisha, Lucy, George who was helping without expecting anything and taking the risk to help a person.

    Clive was trying to find the truth about his lost love and Keisha was trying to find a love for her. Both had many things in common, one of the things was a scar. Keisha remembers of the scar often and Clive wants to know how the scar came as he doesn't know how it came. 

    The climax made me cry. Finally, Clive got a family, Keisha found a love. A Happy and emotional ending. I was living with those characters.

      Life is all about happiness and living the life we wish. Never it is too late!!!
