The Drowning: Dark and Distrubing

The Drowning, authored by Nidhi Upadhyay published by Penguin Random House, is a dark psychological thriller that subverts expectations. 

What starts as a seemingly straightforward story soon spirals into something far more sinister—so dark that it may not be for the faint-hearted.

The story follows Viji, a grieving mother who loses her twins under mysterious circumstances. As she desperately searches for answers, she finds herself accused of causing the death of her friend’s toddler. 

Enter Inspector Kanika, the determined protagonist, who is not only investigating the case but also grappling with her own personal loss after losing her unborn. 

As the investigation unfolds, what seemed like a tragic accident takes a chilling turn, leading to an unexpected and unsettling conclusion.


As the plot thickens, the strange becomes stranger, and each twist shocks the reader. The story plunges into a world of black magic and dark rituals, challenging logic and belief. The author’s creativity is both wild and gripping, making the narrative feel disturbingly real.

I haven’t come across a book quite like this before. It’s a bold, intense read that keeps you hooked till the very end. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with an eerie, supernatural edge, The Drowning is definitely worth picking up.
