My View:

Wow, this is one of the best novel I have read this Diwali, “The colour of Passion” name itself suggest that this book is different from other. When I started this book I thought it’s an open case where rapist and murderer is caught and are in prison, then why ACP Agni Mitra is investigating? But I was wrong, the author has perfectly articulated ACP Mitra’s way of thinking and solving the case, which is one of the best I have read in recent times. You will find crime, suspense, thriller, twist and turns in this novel, a perfect ingredient to be a best seller.

I am reading Saurabh Mukherjee for the first time and after completing this novel would like to read his previous work also. The writing style of the author is excellent, he has a god gift to write this type of suspense/thriller, especially his unique way of introducing new character which makes you feel as a culprit. I liked the facial expression described by the author when ACP Mitra investigates each and every suspect which makes this book un putdown able. The easy and lucid language is a plus point for this novel; also author has a technique to change a simple story into thriller by maintaining suspense till the end.

If this is a researched book on Tollywood, than I must say the dark secret behind glamorous world of Hero and Heroine is perfectly revealed by the author. As usual I don’t want to reveal the plot or the story, but blurb itself is a good kick start to know, who is real culprit behind the murder of Hiya Sen?

I highly recommend this novel to those who loves to read crime and suspense.

Blurb:

Within days of her fairy-tale wedding with Manav Chauhan, Hiya Sen, the reigning queen of Tollywood, is brutally raped and murdered. As ACP Agni Mitra investigates into the high-profile murder, he meets Manav’s ex-fiancée; her father, who was eyeing business through the alliance; an alcoholic male model, and a former Tollywood diva. When two more connected murders make headlines, it’s time for Agni to find answers to perplexing questions and unveil shocking truths.

The Colours of Passion breezes through Kolkata’s glamorous world of industrialists, movie stars, models and fashion designers laced with drug addiction and illicit liaisons, with a heart-wrenching tragedy at its core.
