The Missing Diary

by Debatri Mukherjee

Forty years ago, a girl of twelve went missing in the island town of Raflessia. In the decades that passed, no one could find any trace of her. In the adjacent city lives the protagonist, Irva who is an artist by circumstance and makes a living off people's tone deafness. One rainy evening, an investigator happens to drop by her shop and fixates upon a particularly popular work. But what the investigator tells her changes everything. The girl she has been birthing from imagination all these years is the missing girl from a forty year old case. But how? As she meanders through time and cracks open old wounds, she embarks on a strange adventure of self discovery and gives a whole new meaning to how we perceive realities. So hold tight and get ready to dive into a world where nothing feels like the 'ordinary' in the very mundane lives of Raflessia.

The plot was awesome. Loved how the story tied everything from the start to the end. All characters were equally important and were given proper justice. I could feel myself traversing through the streets of Rafflesia in Ara's shoes. The ending was beautiful. I definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking a little thrill in their free time. Kudos to the author!

The Missing Diary is the first thriller I ever read and it motivated me to pick up more. I never knew story-telling when combined with a beautiful mind would turn into this. The characters are powerful and the story stays true to what it says.
I would recommend it to everyone who either loves thriller or hasn't read one yet.
