Catch Me? No You Can't!
Raja Tiwari is freshly out of jail, and not for stealing hearts and killing with his looks. Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, he is looking for a new job when he meets the suave and beautiful Silky Sinha. To add the cherry on the cake, she takes him home.
Why would a hot girl take an ex-convict, a stranger home? Did she want something from him? Did she want him? Wouldn't the story be too simple that way?
Enter ex-cop Thakur, unruly and wild. He has a job for Tiwari, which would either make him filthy rich, or land him behind bars again. His plan leads to a dramatic verdict, unforeseen consequences, and a web of lies and deception.
Tiwari always has an angle to everything, but he would need something more to be a step ahead in this game - assuming his own allies don't end up killing him before the police get the chance.
The question How far is he willing to go?

Raja Tiwari is fresh out of jail and before he knows he comes across Silky Sinha. After rescuing her from a tight spot, Raja follows Silky to her home where eventually meets Thakur, an ex-cop. Things start to build up as Thakur makes a proposal that could make or break Raja’s life. If everything goes well, Raja could lead a comfortable life while he figures out what’s next. But if things do not work out as planned, then that could lead to another stint in jail for Raja. Will he take up the proposal? And should he trust his new friends?
This is a story told in 100 odd pages. So, the character build up is done right from the first page. In every small action of Raja, there is a glimpse of the person he really is. And it is pretty easy to get up-close and personal with him thanks to the one-two liners that he keeps saying in his mind. And though we are never told things from Thakur’s point of view, his intentions and character is pretty clear from the very beginning. However, Silky Sinha is one character who is difficult to get a read on. It is impossible to be sure about which side she is playing on till the very end. There is an air of mystery around her.
The storyline is pretty straightforward, or so it seems at the beginning. The action picks up right in the first few pages, setting the pace for the rest of the story. There is not a dull moment in the book what with the action, the plotting and seduction that fills its pages. Frankly, the love scenes could do with some work on. Otherwise, this was a perfect package. I loved the dialogues, the characters and the twist that comes in the end. I could predict only one half of the twist and so was pleasantly surprised by the ending.
A complete entertainer.

October 7, 2017Title : When I received this book I saw the title. The title was nice to sound. After observing the title one can easily understand that it's a criminal thriller.
Cover : Now coming to the cover photo. It's nice. Cover photo should be like it in such kind of story. It suits the title. One can be attracted to grab this book by this cover.
Content : The storyline is nice. It's wonderfully written. Grammar and vocabulary have been used properly as I noticed, I might be overlooked if there were any error. Moreover, Author did good job by creating this story. Characters are characterized well. Silky Sinha, Raja Tiwari and Thakur - these are main characters. The story is mainly based on a kidnapped matter and earning money through this kidnapping. Actually the kidnapping plan was made by Thakur and Silky. They needed another one needful partner. Tiwari suddenly came in this scene and joined them somehow. Tiwari and Silky got closed together. But Tiwari didn't understand till then that Silky loved him or just used him to complete their work that was kidnapping. There were another one short character that was Mirza or Anwar Ali. In this way the story runs.
Now how they managed to succeed their kidnapping plan or they fail, Did Silky really love Tiwari or not, What's the important role of Mirza on this story - if you want to know you have to read this book. Those who love crime thriller this book is highly recommended.

This Is One Triangle That Is Constantly At Odds And Virtually At Tangents Because All The Three Main Characters Are Pulling & Pushing In Different Directions And Yet Their Paths Are Crisscrossing Almost On A Regular Basis. Much As They Would Prefer To Go Their Own Ways.
Raja Tiwari Is A Smooth Operator Who’s Barely Stepped Out Of Prison Who Seems To Have A Knack Of Landing Up At Wrong Places Where He Should Hardly Be Seen And Yet He Gets Pulled Into Such Sticky Situations. Then There Is The Saucy & Sexy Silky Sinha Who Is Both Alluring & Attractive Encased In A Mysterious Shroud That Makes Her So Absolutely Unpredictable And Spaced Out As She Drinks Like A Fish And Is Constantly Spaced Out. Taking Raja Home Out Of The Blues And Makes Him Her Dil Ka Raja Simply Because He Saved Her From Getting Beaten In Public.
AMIT NANGIA Is Bang On As He Delves Into The Psyche Of All The Three Leading Characters Be It Raja Tiwari, Sweety Sinha & Thakur A Former Crooked & Shady Cop Who Form This Odd Triangle Thus Giving Them Equal Footage.
The Dialogues Are Crisp But The Switchover To Hindi Mid Sentence From English In This Smooth Crime Thriller Especially The Lingo And Cuss Words That Raja Is Liberal With Can Have Readers Cringing Once He Liberally Uses Cheezy One Liners.
For A Full-On Suspense Crime Thriller AMIT NANGIA Keeps The Pace Of This Quickie Consistently Tight & Taut. With The Entire Plot Revolving Around Barely Three Prime Characters The Book Is Indeed Well Capsuled In Just 108 Pages That Leaves Absolutely No Room To Allow The Smooth Flow To Get Slack For Even A Single Moment.
The Surprise Package Comes In The Form Of The Mysterious & Alluring Beauty That’s Silky Sinha Who Keeps The Readers Absolutely Engrossed In This Crime Thriller That Is As Smooth As Silky Sinha.
This Edge Of The Seat Thriller Could Have Been A Perfect Read If Only The Cussing & Profanity In Hindi Did Not Make One Cringe. But Then That’s Something That’s Embedded In The Smooth & Suave Con Artist That Raja Tiwari Actually Is!!!

---Catch me?No you can't!---
Author: Amit Nangia
Gerne: thriller
RATINGS:⭐⭐/5
Cover is attractive. It looks nice. Title seems good. Plot is little disappointing. .
Story has nothing much to offer you other than normal thrills.The use of languages is really pathetic. You can feel disgusted while reading this one. Dramatic sequences made this book totally worthless. It requires a thorough editing.
.
The central character, Raja Tiwary, freshly out of jail and suddenly came across beautiful Silky Sinha. Now the question is why would a hot girl like Silky take an ex-convict, a stranger to home. What did she want from him? Author gave it a pleasant ending but reclusive scenes make this a difficult read. .
Verdict-
Story, plot, narration all seemed very poor. Overall, the book seems less interesting, and boring too. .
Truely speaking, this book is a waste of reading and that's why I wouldn't recommend it.

Just after get released from the jail Raja Tiwari meets with Silky Sinha and then the main story begins. Raja unknowingly falls in love with her but she also becomes the part of Thakur's plan of a kidnapping a child and that leads with so many twist and turns and for Raja everything seems suspicious even Silky seems suspicious to him.
The story revolves around many turns and I must say that I read it in one sitting. I really liked the story and narration but the ending disappointed me a little bit, it could have been better. Otherwise, it's totally worth reading.
I really liked the title of the book and the cover is beautiful too.
Overall, it's a short and good read!

Catch Me? No You Can't! is another mystery/ thriller by Amit Nangia that is a quick read of about hundred pages. This is the story of Raja Tiwari, who is freshly out of jail and who helps a beautiful girl from a street goon and lands in a soup. Or so it seems. Tiwari's character was very well developed and portrayed. Although the book takes place over a couple of days alone, it was fun reading about his journey and how his rather smart ass mind works. There were so may times while reading the book when I asked myself exactly what was happening, and there were also times when the book seemed very rushed, but it all came really well together in the end and ended up being a very thrilling ride. Although the use of Hindi in Indian Writing in English annoys me, Amit Nangia's humour was on point and had me laughing hard. For a story that revolves around barely three characters, this book was very entertaining and gripping. Overall, Catch Me? No You Can't!was an entertaining read whose end was really good, unique and difficult to predict.
