Priyanka Chaturvedi reviewed The Reluctant Detective on her blog, and given that she along with Parul Sharma together ensured I didn't slack off on writing this, I owe them both bigtime.
I
read Kiran’s (good friend no.1) debut novel The
Reluctant Detective last month and honestly all through the book I kept
looking or waiting to catch her on something where she went wrong with the
story but there was absolutely nothing I could come up with. The book was near
perfect. The book kept me in splits throughout, right from the word go. Much
like her blog, that’s the only minus point I’d give her book, that it is an
extension of her blog. Some parts of the book had a sense of deja vu. But then there is a twist in the story, then also her
blog is more personal.
The
book starts off with Lady Kay aka Kanan Mehra who is the main protagonist of
the book. Her curiosity keeps getting her into all kinds of incidents in the
book except for when she finds herself involved in not one but two murders that
take places in her vicinity. This is when her curiosity turns to her advantage
and helps her find out the whys and the whats and the whos behind the murder.
Now
wait if you thought this is only yet another whodunit no dear friends that this
book is not. This is also the tale of every mum; yes Lady Kay is also a mum to
an adorable son and a wife to a macho man! So read her hilarious exchanges with
her son and her husband. The best is her exchanges with her self. It will have you laughing right through the
book.
