The CoverThe title and then the subtitle very clearly states the contents of the book. Blood dripping from the corner of an eye is very obvious image for the title plot. For thriller lovers, despite all revealing details, I still found it good one to be picked up from the shelves.
What I Felt About the BookThe opening line itself does not disappoint its readers and the first and most important chapter makes sure readers is glued to the pages. The book has all elements of a crime, suspense and a thriller. The news debate, court room trials, police interrogations etc. made it look all real and attractive.
What I Liked About the Book1. Last Chapter - I absolutely loved this one. Actually, the plot was very obvious and predictable. So, the last chapter makes it all worth reading the whole book. 2. It’s a Woman’s Story – I love any and all stories related to women and this one did not disappoint me.
What I Did Not Like About the Book1. I know it’s not fair to include same point in likes and dislikes. But then, I so wish there were quite a few casual hints to the ultimate catch it in between the story - without making the reader think about it.2. The author decided to pay attention to only the main plot and thus might have missed his chance to include some small yet interesting sections like the state of children - innocence, curiosity and the hidden fear.
The author – ‘Madhav Mahidhar’ did his homework well and came up with really interesting debates on news and courtrooms. The complete chapter of Madhumita’s interrogation wasan interesting read – I read it very slowly as if I were to answer those crucial questions!
‘Blood in the Paradise -A tale of an impossible murder’ is thus a good pick for a weekend or an overnight read.
