Well Drafted Courtroom Drama (Book Review)

Image Credit
Book: Unlawful Justice
Author: Vish Dhamija
Publication: HarperCollins India


This is the first book that I have read of Vish Dhamija. After reading this book, I am now tempted to go back and read all his earlier books. Vish has beautifully described the plot and moves from one scenario to another with fluid grace. His language is simple, yet it carries the weight of the story, the emotion and tension between the characters with ease.

He doesn't attempt to overdo things, be it explaining the characters, or a particular scene and keeps the suspense well-hidden within the story. The book has the potential to become a Bollywood potboiler. As you read the book, the pre-murder, murder scenarios and the court-room saga becomes a visual scene inside your head and you do not want to put the book down. Not even for a moment.





Vish provides us a peek into the high-handedness of the society, the rich, the poor and the victimized and how can rules pertaining to crime, court-room can be twisted easily with the influence of money. He ensures the courtroom scenes aren't boring with too many technical details. He just touches the surface enough to make the reader understand the entire scenario.

Vish knows how to entice his readers with his story and make them ask for more. If you haven't read this book, I suggest you pick it up now and relish it on your cozy sofa.

My rating: 4 out of 5



I received a review copy of the book from Writers Melon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
