Wastra by Rohan Kailasam by Rohan Kailasam
4.0

Gang wars, drug dealers, communal riots, and an urban legend hunt- “Wastra” by Rohan Kailasman is an electrifying crime thriller.
Set in South Bombay story starts with a murder of a drug addict. Shalini, an investigating journalist, finds out many dirty layers of this case that lead the plot set from the Iran-Iraq battlefield of the ’80s to the communal riots of Bombay in the ’90s.
The mystery element deepens with each chapter as the author brings in new players with surprising motives and background stories. I appreciate the authenticity of the plot. The smooth flow of writing makes this book easy to read. The author crafts an intricate book that keeps you on edge with numerous twists and turns, reveals, and plenty of thrills.
