The eyes of a killer isn't just a revenge story. It's a story of bravery, courage and lust.
The mystery in this book kept building up in every page, which made me intrigued and hence I didn't stop and kept reading.
The story build up was really beautiful.
This was the mystery thriller that didn't only kept building the plot but made sure the reader gasps at every page.
Female rage according me is the most dangerous kind of anger and that was indeed shown in the book. Women can be a child birth but when it comes to her self respect she'll leave none of them.
This book was not only intriguing but pai ful read too. I really enjoyed reading it.
But wait what does goat in a heart means. I've never heard of it and I guess most of you won't, the journey of Naina solving the mystery with you all will be a fun and exciting part of the book.
I personally loved this book and would recommend every crime/thriller/mystery lover readers to give this book a try.
The plot was amazing and the story was mind blowing.
Overall it was a great read. Definitely recommended!

So, I picked up this book because it was an intense female-centered thriller. Little did I know that the book would leave me with mixed emotions of thrill and trauma.
Every person who enjoys a short, fast-paced thriller will enjoy reading this book. The author knew exactly how to build the story with all the minute details of a thriller in mind. The twists in the book were like a roller coaster ride that was just not expected. I enjoyed reading those twists and revelations so much that I wanted more. Every twist was so well planned and timed in this book that it reminded me of how the murderer had planned the murders in this book.
As the blurb of the book states, this story is set in the city of Mumbai, where Inspector Naina is working on a serial murder case that ultimately leads to uncovering a human trafficking racket. Though this book was supposed to give me thrills, it also got me empathizing with all the women characters in this book. For every reader who visualizes when reading, the explicit details and strong emotions in this book will paint visuals in your mind that you will know are definitely not for the faint-hearted. This book might appear short, but Reecha has written such an intense, dark story that will satisfy your urge to read a thriller. It shows the ugly truth of how human trafficking happens in India and maybe in other parts of the world, too. It’s an open secret how the human traffickers pick girls from economically weak backgrounds and lie to their innocent families about their daughter’s bright future if they go with them.
I wondered why the book was titled ‘The Eyes of a Killer.’ I got my answers as soon as Naina understood who the murderer was. It is all about listening to or reading something from the eyes of the person narrating the story to you. For a change, this was one of those books that left me super satisfied with its ending.
However, the author could have focused more on building Naina’s character as a passionate police officer or traits that make her who she is (keeping her drinking habit aside). After all, Naina is the protagonist of this book. But overall, the book was a fantastic short thriller.

The moment I cracked open The Eyes of a Killer, I was hooked faster than you can say “suspense thriller.” First off, let’s talk about that cover. The goat skull? Symbolism on point! It’s not just a macabre touch; it sets the stage for the intense and twisted ride that’s about to unfold.
Now, I have to confess—I spotted the killer from the very first introduction. But don’t let that fool you! Reecha Agarwal Goyal had me in a chokehold of suspense that was as irresistible as it was tight. Even though I pieced together the mystery early on, the real magic was in the journey. The chapters were crisp and concise, making it impossible to stop at just one. Before I knew it, I’d devoured the entire book in a single sitting!
I’ve rarely been so impacted by a thriller, not even by an Agatha Christie classic. The barely-there romance between Naina and Vikrant added a lovely touch of sweetness amid the darkness. It was like a breath of fresh air in a storm—yes, I found myself humming 'Dandelions' by Ruth and crossing my fingers for them!
The book’s portrayal of the murder of a group of seemingly innocent sexagenarians was hauntingly vivid. Every character felt real and well-developed, adding layers to the already rich narrative. Naina’s journey as a police officer, marred by personal guilt and past mistakes, was both heart-wrenching and captivating.
Reecha tackles serious societal issues like human trafficking and corruption with a deft hand. She sheds light on the grim realities faced by underprivileged women and girls, whose voices are often silenced. The ending? A perfectly bittersweet conclusion that left me both satisfied and reflective.
In short, Reecha has set the bar sky-high for thrillers. Her blend of evocative vocabulary, pacing, and character depth is nothing short of masterful. This is the first book where I found myself wishing the killer would just stay hidden a bit longer. Reecha, you’ve earned a permanent spot on my bookshelf—so beware, if you ever consider retiring, I just might have to hunt you down.

“…she wondered how many women were victims of unbridled lust behind those doors. Who gave men the right to pillage them if their very soul? Their position? Who all were responsible for this?”
Today, I bring you a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense and interest as the story unfolds, leaving you breathless and satisfied. *The Eyes of a Killer* by Reecha Agarwal Goyal is a thrilling novel following the life of police inspector Naina and her pursuit of an intriguing serial killer in the heart of Mumbai. Will Naina be able to fulfill her duty as a law enforcement officer and catch the murderer, or will her emotions get in the way? What will be her priority: her mother’s deteriorating health or the case that has shaken the city?
It’s been a while since I have read such an engaging, women-centric page-turner. I managed to read the book in one go, and it left me deeply satisfied at the end. No wonder this book is being turned into a motion picture; it definitely deserves to be. I loved the twist at the end and I definitely didn’t see it coming until the final revelation. I was shocked and intrigued but also saddened by it. The writing was simple, making it easy to read and process the story. I appreciate how well the story flowed from one point to the next, maintaining the thrill and suspense throughout.
What I would have preferred in the book was to explore more about Naina and her life. At times, the book was so focused on the case that I did not get the chance to delve into the protagonist’s character. I felt the author could have explored her essence and thought-process better, as it had a potential.
Overall, it was an amazing read and one of my favorites of this year. I would definitely recommend this to new mystery readers because of how easy it is to understand the plot and enjoy the story.

The Eyes Of A Killer by Reecha Agarwal Goyal is a thriller that revolves around 4 serial killings all tied up to Club Nirvana in Mumbai. Officer on duty is ASP Naina who is tough and likes to play it rough. As Naina moves forward in the investigation she finds out a horrific truth about the workings under the club and infact in her entire city. To what lengths will Naina go to nab the killer and the illegal activities which has befuddled Naina which has her obsessed about the operations running underground and the serial killer on the run.
I will not lie. In the beginning I thought I had it all figured out. I liked the deceiving narrative reecha starts with and then takes her focus to Naina, the policewoman. There were spaces I felt were disconnected and I would have liked if there were written as telling the story. Nevertheless I enjoyed how the author made Naina the focal point and introduced many characters you don’t expect to find in a serial killer novel. There is a personal aspect of Naina’s personality I wished was more explored but I think the author wanted to focus on the secondary aspect of the book.
Every chapter ends on a big bang or a revelation which makes the novel interesting in the second half of the book. I longed for some more dramatisation between dialogues which would have enhanced the revelation in the end.
This thriller is really written from a woman’s perspective and there were some moments where the author also addresses the societal aspects we come across in daily life which was a good attempt and can certainly be more polished. I definitely recommend it because the narrative stays intact and you would not want to miss out a thriller by an indian female author.

A thriller about a serial killer is usually a journey where you are actively participating in the story and along with the investigative team, keep on solving the clues to unmask the identity of the killer before they do, atleast that is what I try to do to keep the thrill alive. What happens in Reecha’s book is you are proven wrong the moment you think that you’ve identified the culprit, and I think that is one of the best aspects of the story. The story is quite well plotted and the themes that Reecha explores in the book are quite interesting. I really liked how she connects the social evil of Human Trafficking and the killer on the run so smoothly. The book is quite fast paced and keeps you hooked right till the end. While the plotting and the storytelling is gripping, I felt that the writing could have been a bit crisper because there were moments where the story felt a bit dull and some aspects of the story such as the symbolism of the goat inside the heart could have been explored a bit more. Secondly, I would have liked to read a few chapters from the perpetrator’s perspective as well, so as to understand their psyche as well. The climax has been well planned and brings the story to a close nicely!
Coming to the characters, Reecha has created characters with a shade of grey and I think that worked quite a bit in the favour of the story. I liked how Naina as a character is powerful, yet she is powerless in front of her urges, but still manages to come out on the other side of it. Vikrant is another character who impressed me quite a lot, and specially in the middle section of the book where he swings between being a suspect, and not being a suspect at the same time.

Naina, an audacious cop, gets tangled in a case of serial killings close to home that leads her to a dark world of human trafficking happening right under their noses. Her investigation leads her to Nera, a small town in Nepal where she learns about the plight of the innocent victims and vows to get to the bottom of the nexus. She gets bewildered as she realises that she is somehow related to this case. What would she choose- responsibility or duty?
The eyes of a killer by @reecha.agarwal is a crime thriller with little over 150pgs that can be read in one sitting. Naina has a strong character but she is an alcoholic and has commitment issues. Brought up by a single mother, Naina is independent, confident and has paved her way into the man's world of crime fighting. Naina's mother has Alzheimer's which makes Naina hold back while performing her duty but her persistent and caring boyfriend Vikrant cares for her as his own. Apart from these main characters, the novel draws a distinct outline of the murdered victims, their families and sex trade victims. I liked the way sensitive topics were presented. I could not connect with the title though. I failed to see its relevance to the story. My favourite part is a splash of romance between Naina and Vikrant and equally hair-raising was the plight of the victims.
The story keeps you on the edge but falls short at the end. Finally, when the murderer is discovered, it is a tremendous twist. But I wanted more about the background and the character of the murderer. The end was abrupt and left me craving for some answers. I would recommend this book to casual readers who are looking for lucid crime fiction with mature content.

📚 BOOK REVIEW
The Eyes of a Killer by Reecha Agarwal Goyal
The Eyes of a Killer is written by Reecha Agarwal Goyal. This book is the latest addition to her collection and belongs to the thriller genre. The main protagonist of the story is Naina who is a police inspector by profession. She lives in Mumbai with her mother and boyfriend Vikrant. The city is currently reeling under the serial killings of men over sixty years. After each murder the murderer hardly leaves back any evidence, only a picture of goat inside a heart is left beside the body.
Who is the murderer ?
What is the significance of the picture ??
Naina is investigating the case of serial killer, but the more she digs the more she gets engulfed by it. But she keeps digging more and more until the mystery dawns upon her own house and life.
The story will churn your mind. At one moment I wasn't able to digest what I was reading. A short book with 160 odd pages but it weighed heavily on my conscience. The introduction to the dark world, how girls are tricked and trafficked from Nepal and misused in big cities.
This story is very different from the stories which I regularly read. The author brilliantly held the suspense till the climax. The language used is simple and easy. The narration is very engaging. The twists and turns in the story made the reading experience more enjoyable.
I did not face a dull moment while reading it. This book reflects the anti social part of our society which seriously needs to be pondered upon.

This book is totally a treat itself if you are a thriller/crime booklover. One of the thriller books which is not so lengthy to read. It’s like a short read divided in 49 chapters but will keep you hooked up till the end. The characters are- Naina is a police officer(the protagonist), Vikrant (Naina’s guy friend) and Naina’s mother. The other characters are also portrayed in a very accurate manner as if you will feel that you are watching a movie itself. The story revolves around finding the main murderer who draws his/her signature marks after killing, women trafficking, picking up girls from the small town space by giving high hopes, criminal acts, etc. Now the thing is, at the end it is a shocking revelation when you will know the actual murderer behind the cases or we can say revenge. Firstly, there are symptoms of the guy who loves Naina that may be he’s the murderer (like the eyes of a killer) but NO, he’s not! And to know who is the actual murderer you need to read this book. The story will not at all bore you, like the few thrillers which at first reads keep you bored & at the end you find it interesting but this book is totally opposite, it will keep you curious and interested from the starting. It is one of my good reads in thriller genre, if you want to read a thriller in a day or two you can definitely grab this as it is a very interesting story and mind boggling thriller book.

A mind-blowing page-turner that will keep you hooked till the very last page.
TROPES: Murder mystery, suspense, obsessed male character, strong and determined MFC
Naina, a police officer, is haunted by a series of connected murders leading to a serial killer. However, the case is closer and more connected to her than she thought. As the investigation progresses, the layers are peeled off, and the darker side of our world is revealed.
The plot, with its short chapters and cliffhangers, is really fast-paced and adequately timed. It keeps you hooked with twists and turns that one may expect, but not in that particular way. The layers of subplots introduced are also equally engaging and add an extra spice of suspense.
The character of Naina is as developed as it can be within the given storyline, which is adequate enough to understand her and her thought process, which, in turn, connects the readers with her world.
The character of Vikrant has very little screen time, but it was enough for him to make an impact on the readers. He is the green flag who not only understands the importance of Naina's job but keeps up with its needs and demands as well. He is the kind who would say, "I know you can take care of yourself and everything around you, but let me take care of you and everything around you for once," which is beautiful in its own sense.
Overall, a good, engaging read that would do great on-screen if adapted well. However, don't wait up and give it a read. This short and fast read will not disappoint you.

The book starts with a short intro to our heroine, Naina, who is a badass Assistant Superintendent of Police in Mumbai. Toughened by bringing justice in this chaotic city that never sleeps, she remains unfazed by the gruesome murders and crimes that occur daily. However, her excessive intake of alcohol and black coffee concerns her mother, who is ailing from schizophrenia.
Naina gets called to duty even in the wee hours of the night, and much to her horror, it leads her to trail a serial killer on the loose. The similar modus operandi is her only clue.
Are these murders related?
What's the meaning behind the symbolism intentionally left at the crime scenes?
No one is out of suspicion as we follow Naina in this pursuit to save the last victim and unveil the brutal maniac. A thrilling journey that takes us around the suburbs of Mumbai and a beautiful town in Nepal.
Little does she know, this case will take a much more personal turn very soon.
It's a short read but gripping nonetheless. The characters are well-written, with behaviors justified by their background. The story, apparently about creative serial murders, in fact, turned out to be more serious. The difficult themes of women trafficking and other violent crimes are pointed out, how the glitter of a prosperous city hides dark truths and the suppressed cries of the innocent. The climax scene shattered my heart, as we see how art can be a form of expression, a way for remembrance of pain, as well as provide hope. The ending was very satisfying to read, and the indication of true justice will be served.

This one is short and quick read crime thriller. It will keep you hooked right from starting till the very last page. The story moves very fast with that of a speed of a horse. The plot keeps the excitement of knowing who the killer is, intact and will keep you guessing till the end. The language is simple and its a easy read so perfect for beginners. The book cover says its soon going to be a major motion picture. Thats great. Can't wait to see this on large screen.

THE EYES OF A KILLER, by Reecha Agarwal Goyal, is a fast-paced, nail-biting thriller that ranks among the best cop-chasing serial killer mysteries I've read in recent years. A convoluted chain of serial deaths of the elderly and affluent men ensnares Naina, a dedicated police officer. As she investigates more into the killings, she discovers a club prostitution ring that is far more murky and deadly than she imagined, with roots that span nations.
Every move brings her closer to danger and heartbreaking stories of sex racket victims. With someone in her police department possibly involved in human trafficking, a loving boyfriend who occasionally raises suspicions, her mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease and requires constant supervision, and her alcoholism, Naina must use everything she has to find the killer and the criminals behind the sex racket.
The book isn't a lengthy read, and I could finish it in 2-3 sittings. The writing style is fluid and stylish. The hooks and twists that appear at unexpected times surprise the reader.
The climax is something I had no idea about, and the way it unfolds shocks and stirs one's emotions.
It is a must-read, with a well-portrayed protagonist who I hope makes a return in the author's future novels.

4.5⭐
"They are the eyes of a killer."
I never thought there would be a day where I'd read Indian thriller books. Don't get me wrong, I know Indian authors write amazing thrillers, but still, I never thought I'd find myself longing for Indian thrillers.
Naina is the lead officer in the serial killer crime rattling Mumbai, and she has no idea what she is going to uncover while solving this case or how many souls are going to bless her in this journey, and she can never ever, in her wildest dreams, believe who the actual killer is.
Even I was shocked when I reached the last 90% of the book. Nothing prepared me for what I read, though I had my suspicions, but I clearly neglected that, so the plot twist truly shocked me.
The book is fast-paced with good writing and narrative, though the middle part of the book is slow (I mean the investigation). You'll understand what I mean when you'll read the book.
Overall, I'll recommend this book if you love mystery thrillers with a twisting plot twist. At the end, I'd say one thing: not everything is as it seems; there is always more to the story.The title of the book perfectly makes sense.

Enter Inspector Naina, determined to unravel the mystery.
The narrative is an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster, hurtling through twists and turns. The pacing keeps readers hooked, making it an unputdownable read.

Some plot points lack logical coherence, but they don't significantly impact the overall experience.
In summary, "The Eyes of a Killer" is an engaging thriller with a few flaws. I'd rate it four out of five stars. If you crave suspense and intrigue, dive into this gripping tale set against the vibrant backdrop of Mumbai.

We all know that this world itself is not the safest for girls, but how unsafe can it be right? I won't say all men are evil, no because they are not and some evils are women as well but can you ever imagine someone so horrible they won't spare their own daughter?
"The Eyes of a Killer" is a book with a plot that will make you open your mouth in shock, the author's done an amazing job twisting the story the way she did and I honestly think the book is movie worthy.

The book has a beautiful cover, for me the cover was the best part of the book.
Coming to the storyline, it's basically about a serial killing which is being investigated by a police inspector called Naina. The best part I loved about the story line is that Reecha in this book thought out of the box and made victims to be men. Yes, men and that's quite rare when it comes to serial killer novels. So, yeah. I loved the storyline.
Coming to the writing style, I personally think the book is an easy read. No fancy words and can be read by anyone who is not even into reading but I also think instead of 3rd person POV the book could have been much better if it was written in the first persons POV, basically Naina's POV then I think the book would have been most suspenseful and thrilling.
Overall it's a good book and a good one time read.
