Book Review # 119 Sin Is The New Love : Abir Mukherjee

Blurb 

Ahi is an aspiring publisher and wishes to make it big someday. When her favourite author’s autobiography lands on her table – which has confessions of his heinous crimes, illegal businesses and few eminent others as his partners in crime – she doesn’t know if it’s real or someone’s trap. It could get her a big breakthrough, but little does she know that it would turn her world upside down completely.

Her morbid curiosity pulls her into the depth of a conspiracy. She finds herself in the centre of various mishaps and murders, as if someone wants to lead the way. Driven by her childhood friend Samim’s encouragement and watched over by the ever so charming ACP Rathore, she has to jeopardize her life to find the brutal truth of her past.

Touching, thrilling and deeply mysterious, Sin is the New Love is the journey of a girl who stumbles upon the truth about her origin while chasing her dream.

My Take 

What happens when you get your favorite author's unpublished script? His personal stories, his unknown life. For someone like Ahi who's a publisher and a avid book reader its a treasure of information. The author is no more. A daughter of ACP she has seen challenges and also thrive for them. So she is looking forward to publish the book for which she needs approval from the Dead authors family.

Being a reclusive one the author Devang Awasthi is famous and yet unknown to the fans. People know and connect through his book. Ahi goes to Delhi from  Kolkata to get a no objection from the family to publish his story.

Samim her childhood friend and business partner supports her decisions to go to Delhi. His role and character is sweet simple and limited.

What happens when she starts being a part of incidents that weave around  her? Is she connected or just coincidence? Suicide or murder? Who? Why? Read the book to find out.

ACP  Abhimanyu Rathore is the one investigating the case and on a hunt for the criminal.

With Ahi's help will he be able to nab the criminal?

The book is pacy, moves strength to strength with proper detailing of scenes, characters and incidents. The story line is strong and the plot watertight. The suspense is maintained well till the end. The climax is a befitting one.

Everyone has layers to their personality, being strong, weak, positive, negative as per situations and are justified well.

I would rate this 4 /5.
