Strangers with Known Faces by Gautam Dutta
3.0
My Rating 3.7/5
This book starts with two major accidents caused by two millatry drones that exploded in a crowded place and the murder of Shanaya Mishra. Later in the story we find out that she was invovled in the Lehockzy deal. In her will she has left behind some tokens/gifts for her old friends, whom she was not in contact with anymore. Following these traces CBI finds out that her old friends were trying to contact her before her murder.. CBI took them in and interrogated them based on Shanaya's will. Each friend related their bit of the story after their split with her and why they wanted to reach Shanaya. And then they come together, forgetting their past differences, to solve the conspiracy.
While reading this book I felt like it was a contemporary young adult drama, but afterwards the story gets intense and with every chapter unfolds a new mystery. Vocabularly in this book was awesome too. I loved how the author reveals every character's story flawlessly. This story releases little bombs of action in the last chapters and gets extremly gripping. First the chapters hold conspiracies and then the murder case, which was enough to grip readers in this potent story. But I'm still wondering why all the main characters' married life was almost null or every character seemed to mutually want to have sex with the other. This story tells that how little decisions of our life leads to butterfly effect and we face big consequences afterwards. And life doesn't give everyone a second chance. Overall this story gets from a little murder mystery to a national wide conspiracy. Although it wasn't that good I still read it in one sitting, and still recommend this awesome book.
I received this in exchange of honest reviews.
