Book Review
Book: Bad Liars
Author: Vikrant Khanna
Publisher: Penguin India
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 216
Bad Liars by Vikrant Khanna is a thriller novel of around 200 pages. When the police find the dead body of a very famous fund manager, Anant Kapoor in the basement of his own house, his wife, Sanya being the direct beneficiary of his death and having no alibi as well, was the prime suspect. And so she was arrested by the police. But with time, when the case starts unfolding itself, here come two more suspects: Vikki, brother of Anant, and Mahesh, Anant’s friend. And here comes “One Murder, Three Liars”, the same being mentioned on the cover of the book. What will happen to them and what actually happened? To know more, read the book.
Because of the easy language and the size, I finished this book in less than a day. The book is divided into six parts and I liked how the author tried to give an unexpected turn to each part. When you think that the case is solved, something new emerges and keeps the story flowing, and gives you a chance to guess what happens next.
Although the book gives unexpected twists, I wished for more thrill there, which could make it more impactful, and wish for more of the character development. The police investigation could have been more insightful as well, on both the professional and personal front. I am someone who reads thrillers once in a while and prefers the Indian setting and so I had some expectations from the book, which were unfulfilled.
But if you are intrigued by the book’s description and want to read it, go ahead and check it out for yourself. I am looking forward to your opinions. I will give it 2/5 stars.
I was provided a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
