शेवटपर्यंत उत्कंठा ताणुन ठेवणारं पुस्तक

[Anuja Jangam · Rating 3 out of 5]

एका श्रीमंताला खोट्या अपघाताच्या गुन्ह्यात अडकवून ब्लॅकमेल करून पैसे लुटण्यासाठी एक तरुणी फिरोज इराणीला आपल्या प्लॅनमध्ये सामील करून घेते.. प्लॅन यशस्वी देखील होतो, मात्र त्यामध्ये खरोखरच तिचा खून होतो. आणि नंतर खुद्द त्या श्रीमंताचा ही खून होतो आणि साहजिकच दोन्ही खुनांचा आळ फिरोज वर येतो.

खरा खुनी कोण ह्याची पुस्तकाच्या मध्यापर्यंत पुसटशी कल्पना आली तरी, शेवट हा चक्रावून टाकणाराच आहे.
