Antarpur suddenly seemed full of intrigue, though in what way he could not imagine.
Rahul Srivastava’s fast-paced thriller, What Happened to Regina That Night, is set in Antarpur, a small town with a vast, fascinating history. Perched at the edge of a dense, wild forest and connected to the outside world by only a railway track, the region had once been occupied by an ancient forest tribe called the Kands. But constant battles with an invading warrior prince and subsequently the British, through the years, had resulted in the Kands being pushed away to the hills in the corner of the district. The only settlement that remained close to Antarpur now was the one located on Kandoha Hill, a site of great tragedy.
Tragedy is about to strike Antarpur once again, unless Kabir, an inquisitive (and unwelcome) visitor to the town can find out what really happened to Regina, a nun from the local convent, twelve years ago, and stop Regina’s fate from befalling another innocent.
This book has started on such a high note, but it's disappointing to say that it has been a downward curve from there. There's so much suspence built around Ragina's death but it does not get addressed the way we'd like it to be.
There's a letter that Regina writes which goes unnoticed. There are a lot of clues and vital points in the book that end up nowhere and it's a huge disappointment.
