Blue Is The New Colour Of Suspense (Book Review)

Book: The Blue House In Bishop  
Author: Sunanda J. Chatterjee
Publisher: Sunanda J. Chatterjee

This is my first book by the author and I have to admit, it was quite an interesting read. The Blue House In Bishop has romance, suspense, mystery, thriller and some bit of action too. The author has weaved all these elements neatly in the story with well-defined characters.

Described as a romantic suspense book, the story revolves around four main characters and their quest for finding the answers to their miseries. Alisha, Sunil, Duke and well a mysterious woman (not giving any spoilers here), who come from different directions settle down in the Blue House in Bishop. The author has vividly explained the various pasts and backgrounds of the characters and sensibly brought them all together where the main story awaits the readers.


The story is indeed gripping and can keep the readers hooked till late night only to find out what’s in store for the 4 characters.  The writing is clear and crisp.

In other words, the story is about love and nursing and a broken heart; it is about falling and bringing yourself together to walk again.

Having said that, the climax feels a little rushed. A little more action on the drug lord’s element wouldn’t have hurt.

My rating: 3.5 Stars


I received a review copy of the Kindle edition under a review program by The Book Club in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)
