A perfect Bollywood script
THE SEARCH: a perfect #murdermysterybyVishal Anand.After a splendid performance in Big Daddy Casino, the floating casino in Goa, the singing sensation Roger along with his entourage were gunned down.ACP Rathore is investigating the homicide.As the events begin to unleash Rathore digs upon secrets too dark and dangerous.As he proceeds, the question becomes more and more haunting - Who Killed Roger?Michael Rodriques, the Deputy Chief Minister of Goa? Shirley Fernandes, Roger's wife?One or more of the other artists?Or, an individual for whom Roger refused to perform?The Search is astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether a fast-paced murder mystery.___π"People donβt get arrested for murder.They are arrested for not planning the escape properly."---Wow this was a fast paced, bollywood script style thriller written with a beginner friendly, easy, descriptive writing style & simplistic narrative.The mystery behind the attempted murder of Roger, keeps the reader on toes & the story going till the very end, the last page/ leaf/ epilogue being the best part of the book. It was like a yumm desert which completed the meal/ story & satiated the reader's appetite.It was interesting how different characters were linked to Roger & under the radar. ACP Rathore played the role of a macho cop, to perfection.A good one time read because I think it's difficult to reread a mystery/ thriller as you already know the twists & the plot & the end.

Just baffling mystery
The Search is the most astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether a fast-paced murder mysterythe singing sensation Roger along with his entourage were gunned down. ACP Rathore is investigating the homicide.As the events begin to unleash Rathore digs upon secrets too dark and dangerous. As he proceeds, the question becomes more and more haunting - Who Killed Roger?The direction the plot took completely surprised, needless to say it was filled with suspense and intrigue. It was a dynamic and gripping read.I was expecting a fairly predictable whodunit setup, it was anything but that. The story has a killer mystery vibe throughout the book, that evokes clue finding itch with well developed characters each with their own secrets and lies. The storyline follows an unanticipated direction, and that truly pay offs making it a delightfully twisty read.First half of the book made me feel it's clear who the murderer is but with subtle inflections in characters I just couldn't figure it out.And the when the end came I was like SERIOUSLY!It was fast paced, full of drama that takes you on a baffling rollercoaster ride.Absolutely loved the ending.ππππ Stars.

BOOK- THE SEARCH: A Perfect Murder MysteryAUTHOR - VISHAL ANANDSelf thoughts : The story was fast paced and of-course, being a murder mystery , there were plot twists . I thoroughly enjoyed the book and could not keep it down as it was fast paced and hooked me till the end. The story has been edited just right , I did not feel that there was unnecessary information or anything too much or too less in the storyline . A very good read anda very easy one too!SYNOPSIS:The storyline is a full fledged mystery thriller genre , with shooters, victims , suspects , hero , villain , and the hidden mastermind ! The story is set in two time frames - current and 9 years earlier flashback. The author has managed the task to arrange both the time frames in alternate chapters, which , if gone wrong , could mess the book too much. So shoutout to the author on that are !The plot of the story is based in panaji, Goa. It revolves around our singing sensation - Ruz Fernandes whos stage name is - ROGER. Roger blew everyone away with his talent at his first performance itself at a bar, thanks to Simon - called Sam , his best friend and drummer. Sam was the one who motivated and pushed Ruz to perform in the real world as his talent was amazing.The story begins at the Big Daddy Casino where Roger and Zoey had finished their performance and on the way to home when they were shot by 2 shooters on a bike. The Constables Babu Shelke and Gaude heard the gunshots while they were on their routine patrolling. When the matter gets serious , ACP Rathore - Courageous, skeptical, candid and observant is brought in for investigating the case.Now the question is " Who killed this BIG SENSATION who was loved by his fans ?" . To know about that, go ahead , and grab your copy!RATING - 4/5RECOMMENDED to every mystery thriller lover, or anyone who wants to start with the genre.THANK YOU !
