Bad Liars: One Murder. Three Liars.

by Vikrant Khanna

When the dead body of a famous fund manager, Anant Kapoor, is found in his house, it isn't hard for the police to pin the murder on his wife. She has no alibi, and she is the direct beneficiary of his death. But when the police look deeper, they discover two more suspects just as likely to commit the crime.

With no sound motive and contradictory statements from the three suspects, the police must dig deeper into their history, and what they find is rather chilling and perplexing at the same time.

Who killed Anant, and more importantly, why?

3.5 stars
So, the book is good. I loved the simplicity of the novel - not too many red herrings, a good plot, a good ending and decent reveal.
What I didn't like was the lack of character development - they were all single dimensional characters with neither depth nor arc. There was practically nothing "thrilling" about it; just a normal whodunnit.
Even this was okay, but the reason why I deducted 1.5 stars was the repetition. Dude repeated the entire story like 15 times throughout the novel. One can just read the final chapter and the entire book is unnecessary.

Bad liars by Vikrant Khanna is a murder mystery novel where Maurya and Kiran investigate Anant's death, a famous fund manager. It's not easy for the investigators to pin down the accused as everyone they investigate is lying, and the reason behind it makes their job tedious.


Anant's wife, Sanya, claims to have suffered domestic abuse all these years, and she doesn't have an alibi, making the police think she could be the murderer. But Anant's younger brother, Vicky's constant change in his narrative, shifts their attention towards him. He was a compulsive gambler and lost crores of money in betting. Things take a U-turn when Murthi, Anant's former business partner turned rival, enters the picture with a more substantial motive who also met Anant hours before his death. Will they find the real culprit and the reason behind this heinous crime?


First things first, I definitely liked this book more than I thought I would. I have read the author's previous book, 'secretly yours', and I can see how much he has grown as a writer. Though the suspense was broken in the second half of the book, the first half kept me guessing. It was fast-paced and was a page-turner. If you are looking for a quick read filled with suspense, then pick this book up.


As with any book, this book, too, has its shortcomings. At some point, the back-and-forth investigation and the repetitive narration of the sequence of events felt very unnecessary. The backstories were too short and did not serve much of a purpose because they did not elevate the characterisation, rather only explained what could have been their intention behind the murder.


But if you are looking for a short mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then go for it.


MY REVIEW: 3.5/5

Life is meant to be enjoyed, to explore and satiate our desires, not to toil endlessly and then die one day with a fortune in the bank."

--

This book was an absolute rollercoaster ride filled with suspense, mystery and surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat. From the very first chapter, I was hooked, captivated by the intricate plot and compelling characters. The story is a gripping tale of murder, betrayal and secrets that are slowly unveiled as the police investigate the death of the famous fund manager, Anant Kapoor. The twists and turns never let up as each suspect is interrogated, and the reader is kept guessing right until the very end. The writing is tight and engaging, with the author skillfully weaving together a story of murder, intrigue and suspense. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery.

What I loved most about this book was the way that Vikrant Khanna masterfully weaves together the various threads of the story, creating a web of intrigue and mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. The characters are complex and nuanced, with their own secrets and motivations that slowly come to light as the investigation unfolds. The writing is crisp and evocative, with vivid descriptions that bring the story to life.

I would highly recommend "Bad Liars: One Murder, Three Liars" to anyone who loves a good mystery. It's a fast-paced, engrossing read that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. So why not pick up a copy and see for yourself? You won't regret it!

Thanks @penguinindia for the review copy!

When famous and rich fund manager Anant Kapoor is found dead in the basement, his wife, Sanya Kapoor, becomes the prime suspect. They were alone at home at the time of the murder and she has no alibi. But as the investigation proceeds, the police find two more suspects. They all have motives and as likely to have committed the murder. But are their motives strong enough to kill someone? If not, then who killed Anant Kapoor? Or maybe all of them are hiding something?

Bad Lias is a fast-paced murder mystery with the classic trope "whodunit". The book takes the readers on a thrilling journey filled with twists and turns and keeps you guessing till the end. The writing of the book is engaging and crispy. The characters are mysterious but not very likeable.

Overall, it was an enjoyable and short read. It took me 5-6 hours to finish the book. Once I started reading, I could not put it down without knowing the ending, which was not very shocking but yet unpredictable.

Read this if you are in a mood to read a good mystery novel that you can finish in one sitting.

This is a wonderful little fast paced murder mystery set in Delhi where a high flying financial advisor is murdered and there are 3 prime suspects for it ranging from his Wife who has a rocky relationship with him , A younger brother who is not on good terms recently with the deceased and one of his former part ners who is trying to get him back to form a partnership once again which ended on a sour note the last time .The dice rolls in all the direction as Inspector Maurya and his assistant Kiran have a hard time trying to get to the bottom of this murder and who has the most likely motive of all to be doing the criminal act . The book is broken into various parts right from initial investogation to each of the prime suspects detailed account of relationship with the deceased and how they are not connected to his murder and the Inspector trying to unscrew the hidden facts from within and getting to the murderer .

[Humna Khan · Rating 1 out of 5]

I have a lot to say about this one. I ended up dnfing this book at around 80 pages. I skipped to the end and read last couple of pages and it didn’t affect what I had read till 80 pages and I didnt miss nothing by skipping the whole thing. You see the problem here??

The characters just arent described that well and yet there are too many descriptive paragraphs. Too much narration instead of conversations and dialogs. No showing just telling.

No warning before a certain time jump or character pov. Its just too much narration.

And maurya himself doesnt have much of a life outside of this case. Like maybe sprinkle in some dates or love interests or family? But nope.

This is one of those books where the main characters are actually side characters. The characters are not really active and lacking personalities. Even if they have personalities, then theres just not enough conversation and action to flush them out.

All of this and the story is in third person perspective and written in present tense. That for some reason didnt feel right. Like maybe it should have been in past tense if it was written in TPP. Maybe had it been Danish’s POV, it could have been soo much more interesting and perhaps we could have gotten a sneak peek into his personal life. I just did not feel connected to anyone in this story and that is distracting. Very distracting and boring.

There could have been flashback scenes instead of bland story telling but no. Telling and not showing. Certain words felt off cuz they weren’t supposed to be used to describe that particular action. This whole thing felt like a very poorly translated hindi Bollywood movie script with no creativity in developing the plot, the characters. There was absolutely zero action and zero drama in this. No emotions exchanged, no strong side characters, and no sub plot here. Just nothing!!! Why was this even published if it was going to be a big 200 pages something monologue about a murder mystery that has no mystery at all whatsoever.

Indian writers should either not write in English or research the rules and basic writing style before daring to publish these kinda mediocre stories with childish writing. Like I as reader can read articles upon articles on how to be a better writer and you whose an actual writer are so lazy that you don’t care to better your writing and provide something above sub par to the audience?

And we as audience should do better in bringing good actually attention worthy stuff to light. What about the editors? Are they so desperate that they cant even criticise such mediocre writing and point the writers in the right direction?

Title: Bad Liars by Vikrant Khanna

Rating: 2.5/5 stars

Bad Liars by Vikrant Khanna is a murder mystery that revolves around the death of Anant, a renowned fund manager found dead in his own home. The book introduces three main suspects: Anant's wife Sanya, who claims to be a victim of domestic abuse; his brother Vicky, an impulsive gambler who has recently lost a significant amount of money; and his business rival Mahesh, who paid a visit to Anant around the time of the murder. As the police dig deeper into the case, it becomes clear that all three suspects are concealing something.

The book is a relatively short read, and while it promises an intriguing murder case, it unfortunately falls short of delivering an engaging narrative. One of the major drawbacks of the story is the repetitive nature of the investigation. The author seems to loop around the same information and events multiple times, making it a tedious read. The pacing suffers as a result, and readers may find themselves tempted to skip chapters without missing much of the plot.

The narration style employed in Bad Liars also contributes to the book's lackluster appeal. The writing feels monotonous, lacking the necessary flair and excitement to keep readers captivated. However, it must be noted that the author's writing style itself is competent, with well-constructed sentences and a decent flow.

One of the few redeeming aspects of the book is the ending. Despite the fact that the identity of the murderer becomes apparent halfway through the story, the motive and the execution of the crime still manage to provide a degree of satisfaction. It prevents the reader from feeling like their time has been entirely wasted. However, this positive aspect alone cannot outweigh the overall mediocrity of the book.

Bad Liars is a skippable read for most readers, offering little to distinguish itself from the vast array of murder mysteries available. It may hold some appeal for fans of the author's previous works, as the writing style does manage to maintain a certain level of engagement. However, for those seeking a gripping and memorable murder mystery, it would be advisable to explore other options in the genre.

Book Review
Book: Bad Liars
Author: Vikrant Khanna
Publisher: Penguin India
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 216

Bad Liars by Vikrant Khanna is a thriller novel of around 200 pages. When the police find the dead body of a very famous fund manager, Anant Kapoor in the basement of his own house, his wife, Sanya being the direct beneficiary of his death and having no alibi as well, was the prime suspect. And so she was arrested by the police. But with time, when the case starts unfolding itself, here come two more suspects: Vikki, brother of Anant, and Mahesh, Anant’s friend. And here comes “One Murder, Three Liars”, the same being mentioned on the cover of the book. What will happen to them and what actually happened? To know more, read the book.

Because of the easy language and the size, I finished this book in less than a day. The book is divided into six parts and I liked how the author tried to give an unexpected turn to each part. When you think that the case is solved, something new emerges and keeps the story flowing, and gives you a chance to guess what happens next.

Although the book gives unexpected twists, I wished for more thrill there, which could make it more impactful, and wish for more of the character development. The police investigation could have been more insightful as well, on both the professional and personal front. I am someone who reads thrillers once in a while and prefers the Indian setting and so I had some expectations from the book, which were unfulfilled.

But if you are intrigued by the book’s description and want to read it, go ahead and check it out for yourself. I am looking forward to your opinions. I will give it 2/5 stars.

I was provided a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

[Srikkanth G · Rating 4 out of 5]

Power has an unspoken hold on one's psyche. With money, the desire to hold onto power is even stronger. Is that why was Anant Kapoor murdered, and was money the only motive? If so, who among the three suspects killed him? There wasn't anyone else in the vicinity when the crime occurred: his wife, who is known for her spendthrift behaviour; his brother, who is in debt due to a bad bet; and an old business partner whose business isn't going well.

While the suspects had their own reasons, were they so cold-hearted to go to the extent of committing a murder? As the police investigate, they realize that one suspect is lying and the other two are telling the truth. It's time to find out who is speaking the truth. It's a classic "who did it and why" crime fiction novel, where the investigator must narrow down the killer with the clues left behind.

The plot isn't a wild cat-and-mouse chase. It's simple and straightforward, and the author gets straight to the point in exploring the nuances of the crime. For a book that's less than 200 pages, the writing keeps you engaged. There isn't a dull moment, and if there were, my rating would have been even lower. It's a small book, and every page should have information to look forward to. That's what the author does well here: a clear plot, clear characters, straight to the chase, and an ending that could have been guessed. The question still remains, why?

The character development is pretty decent. All the people involved have clear goals, motivations, and their own personalities. No one is overlapping the other, and Anant Kapoor, our Antony Gordon who believes "greed is good," is not someone without a heart. He wants people around him to understand the value of money. When they don't, he starts to keep a tight leash. His wife, brother, and ex-business partners all have their reasons for who they are. I like exploring the backstory of these characters, which gives them depth and the reader an understanding of who they are internally and why they want what they want. For me, it's important that one is able to connect with the characters at an emotional level. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the character development is on the level of GRR, but it's still way better than most contemporary Indian authors. Vikrant has spent time developing them and making them sound humane.

The setting is also pretty straightforward. The house is where we spend 70% of our time, and hence there isn't a lot to keep track of. Any other place that's mentioned is more for the case to be followed, and you won't get distracted from the main theme.

What hooked me wasn't the suspense or reveal, as one might call it, but the monologue at the end of the book. Spanning about two pages, it was worth the read. When the police inspector reveals the killer's motive, I felt as if I had been transported into the world of the murder. The thought behind the crime, the cool and calculated move, and the sheer desire to wait it out until everything died down were brilliantly portrayed by the author. About 72% into the book, the murderer is caught, but just like me, the inspector was curious as to why the suspect confessed to the crime. There was no solid evidence against the accused, yet the person confessed. It's that final stretch that made me appreciate the book more than I expected.

Overall, it's a light, quick, and breezy read that keeps you engaged until the end. Enjoy the swift journey.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, to explore and satiate our desires, not to toil endlessly and then die one day with a fortune in the bank.

A quote from the novel that teach us a valuable life lesson but is it worth to expect the same from others? Is it okay to go overboard in order to fulfil your desires? One needs to go through the book in order to decide.

Vikrant Khanna’s “Bad Liars: One Murder, Three liars” is a story of an entrepreneur, his wife, his younger brother and his friend and business partner woven into a crime thriller murder mystery. It is a fast-paced story with growing intensity page by page and detangling the strings of the crime simultaneously.

Writer has skillfully crafted the work to lock reader’s attention. The simple writing style with smart choice of words would definitely make you stop and think before you move forward. However, the thrill element is not developed enough that can send chills down the spine. Development of characters and unwanted repetitiveness has added to it more. The plot could definitely have been built better. Despite this, we have a strong climax, rather a very strong climax. One that reaches beyond the expectation of the readers. One could feel that the story has ended by 27th chapter but the writer has something more to say. A conclusion can blow one’s mind away.

It is a perfect book if you are having a boring a day and you want to read a lightweight yet thrilling story. This is definite a one-time read, a page-turner suspense packed book that is going to keep the reader hooked until its very end.

BAD LIARS - Vikrant Khanna
Paperback at 199 INR from penguin india, bought from crosswords bookstores

"The chief problem is money - women are too financially dependant on their husbands."

Rich and successful fund manager, Anant Kapoor is dead. And iit is no accident. There are three suspects to the crime, all with means and motive, but, are their motives strong enough to kill someone? What was the motive? Money? Jealousy? An unhappy marriage?
Inspector Maurya and his team are understandably confused with the seemingly nonsensical crime. Anant Kapoor seems to have no enemies and the suspects' do not have motives that could with absolute sense amount to murder.
Then, who dunnit? Read to find out.

Bad liars is a very easy to read murder mystery and is fast paced. I finished it in one day. What I feel could be better in the book is the characters. I would have absolutely enjoyed a little bit of back story on the main characters, considering there are Oy very few characters.
One thing I will say though is that, I did not like Inspector Maurya, and I don't feel that he was written to be a likable character - which is something I do like. But again, i would have enjoyed a little more character building the book.

I would recommend this book to beginners and if you are an advanced reader, pick this up if you want a quick paced page turner.

One Murder. Three Liars. This line was captivating enough to read the book Bad Liars by Vikrant Khanna.The title itself gave quite an insight into the premise of the book.

It's a complete close room murder mystery with suspects each having major reasons to have committed the crime. But it's nearly impossible to say who has done it.

The victim here is Anant who is shown as an abusive husband in the initial pages of the book. One fine morning he is found dead in his basement. Who did it? We don't know? Who could have done? Well..

The first suspicion comes on Sanya, his wife, who has definite reasons to have murdered him. Especially her being the direct beneficiary.

The second and third suspect are his brother and his ex business partner, but them having an alibi confuses the case.

Here the role of the detective department is the major thrilling aspect of the book. The significance of the cover comes into light towards the end, making it a good reading experience.

However one suggestion for the author would be not to disclose the entire explanation in the very last page of the book. I by mistake read one line and got to know the entire plot before starting reading itself. So that did have a major effect. Plus there should have been more character development and involvement of more of the police department.

[readers creators · Rating 3 out of 5]

This thriller book is a great suspenseful and twisted one if you are new to the mentioned genre, but if like me, you have read and watched many thrillers & mysteries in the past, this book might feel like a total dud.

Anant Kapoor is a renowned investor with a reputation as a genius among his competitors. Sanya Kapoor, his wife is the pampered daughter of a rich businessman, Vicky Kapoor, Anant’s brother is a spoiled brat, and Mahesh, Anant’s ex-partner is a desperate entrepreneur looking to make loads of money. The story begins with a morning sequence which will immediately develop a sympathetic side for Sanya in heart of every reader, but it moved forward and changed all the presumptions.

A murder and three suspects, two police officers brainstorming through all the dots and connections, and the culprit (who was highly predictable) was caught even when the book has more than 30 pages left, and that got me pondering. The climax is unpredictable and yet not very exciting or nerve-wracking.

The author so brilliantly wrote in a way that every suspect seems like the murderer, but I guess if the book’s length was short, it would have been even great. I find it unnecessarily lengthy and stretching at some points. Nevertheless, good for a light read.

Review Post (No Spoilers)
A perfect murder mystery with lots of twists and turns. This captivating story starts with the murder of a famous businessman "Anant Kapoor" and three suspects, whose statements somewhat puzzled the investigating officer "Maurya" and his subordinate "Kiran".

Suspect 1: Sanya
--------------
Anant Kapoor's wife, who was being continuously abused both mentally and physically by her late husband.
(Beaten up badly by Anant, just before the murder)

Suspect 2: Vicky
--------------
Anant Kapoor's younger brother, an addicted gambler and another victim of Anant Kapoor's foul words. In dire need of a hefty amount just before Anant was killed.
(Had an argument with Anant and wanted to kill him)

Suspect 3: Mahesh
--------------
Anant's longtime rival who was continously following Anant to team up with him. Surprisingly Visited Anant on the night of murder that too after a long time.
(Being insulted on multiple instances in past, by Anant)

Now the question is who would have benefited the most by the murder and whether it was pre planned or happened in the heat of the moment.

Verdict:
Loved the way interrogation is presented in the book and how all the characters are portrayed, its definitely a worth reading for all the mystery lovers.

When the dead body of a famous fund manager, Anant Kapoor, is found in his house, it isn't hard for the police to pin the murder on his wife. She has no alibi, and she is the direct beneficiary of his death. But when the police look deeper, they discover two more suspects just as likely to commit the crime. What was the reason behind the crime? Are the suspects one of the killers? Such questions arise.

'Bad Liars' is a past paced murder mystery with "who did it" vibe. Its a short read with comprehensive writing style. It has the twists and turns that will keep you guessing but it got predictable after a certain point.
I guessed who the killer was halfway through the book. It still caught me off guard with how the murder plan was executed.

Overall, it was a good engaging read, with interesting characters. If you are looking a short yet engaging read then this is an absolute go for you.

[Shail Srivastava · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bad Liars by Vikrant Khanna is a good murder mystery and an easy read. It's basically a who-done-it mostly than a proper muder mystery.

The story is about a muder of a famous entrepreneur of financial industry and there are three suspects to his murder. His wife, brother and a professional rival.

The writing style is good and was an easy read, though it's not a binge worthy thriller. There aren't any unimaginable plot twists, just a simple unraveling of clues and a predictable murderer.

The characters are mostly one dimensional, there's not much depth to any character. The inspector and his subordinate is simply existing to solve the murder with no character depth to them.

The story is set in New Delhi, India and plot is kind of cliche, done thousands of times. Frankly, I have read much better and jaw dropping murder mysteries before so this was an okay read for me.

Overall, I liked the book but it's not that amazing and the ending could have been much better.

[Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

Perfect easy read for traveling.
I got into it quickly, and it was hard to put down. I enjoyed it very much up until the end, as I found the ending quite anticlimactic. I felt that there was tension building throughout the book, and I was trying to figure out what the “twist” at the end would be (as it was building up to that in my opinion), only for it to let me down.

As I was reading it I was quite certain that this was a 4-star book, but ultimately the ending pushed it down to a 3-star.
Regardless, I’ve put the authors other books on my to-read list, and I’m looking forward to reading them.

This is the first book i read of the author and it did disappoint me . I don't know why we are giving it the tag of a thriller it's a simple mystery book. And to solve the mystery you don't have to read the entire book just read the last one or two chapters . There was absolutely nothing thrilling about this book . If you want to read a mediocre mystery book go for it. What disappointed me most was that there were no surprising elements. It's a plain book . Looking forward to read more from the author.

Vikrant Khanna is the first Indian author whose book I’ve read and I must say it was very impressive!!! Loved the minute details, the pace and the easy language!!! It was a great short read…definitely kept me on my seat till the end!!! The only thing which I was anticipating for at the end was Sanya’s pov like what is her take on the murder she committed and all…it would make the story even more complete.
But overall an amazing read!!! Definitely trying more books from him:)

To be completely honest, I did not like the book whatsoever. I procrastinate it the whole time to read this book when I got halfway through it I didn’t want to read it at all.

It was not surprising at all and it was not a good experience.
