स्टोरी के लिये सुनील ने जब सभासद आजाद की करतूतों के बखिये उधेड़ने शुरू किये तो आजाद ने उस स्टोरी को किल करने बदले सुनील को एक ज्यादा कारआमद, ज्यादा विस्फोटक, बेर के मुकाबले तरबूज, स्टोरी उपलब्ध कराने का वायदा किया । सुनील ने जब इस की हामी भरी तो उसे नहीं मालूम था कि ये ‘बेर के बदले तरबूज’ स्टोरी आखिर खुद उसके ही जी का जंजाल बन जाएगी !

Its a good story, but not a murder mystery whodunit novel. You not only get to know the real culprit by halfway through by his MO but also by his name. The rest of the book is just getting the proof. With presence of Adv Mahant, who is SMP version of A.B. Carr of Doug Selby series by Erle Stanley Gardner, I thought this was Indianised adapted D.A. novel. But it's not. However its a good book. Only if you are looking for usual Sunilian whodunits, this is not it.
What a thrilling adventure. It started with unravelling a mole but Sunil had no idea that it will turn into a mountain. Great story. Kudos to Pathak saheb.
