Suspense Express

by Pinaki Ghosh

Suspense Express is a collection of 7 short urban contemporary thrillers that dwell between themes like hacking into the security system of a country, international terrorism, an experiment with humans, a present day sequel to a paranormal mystery around a headless horseman, a ship hijack in Somalia and the string of unexpected incidents triggered by that, a reality game show gone horribly wrong and an Egyptian mystery. The thrillers swing from country to country, continent to continent and have unexpected twists and turns in almost every page. The fast pace of the stories, the variety of themes and urban flavor make the book unputdownable.

[Riju Ganguly · Rating 4 out of 5]

You are about to board a flight. You know that at some point of time, the uneasiness that creeps upon one while sharing a dark space with strangers might lull you into a sleep. So you are not looking for one hefty thriller. Instead, you would like to read a collection of short thrilling or msytery-filled stories.
This is exactly that sort of a book.
In smart, crisp prose, and extremely contemporary settling, it tells seven short to very short stories dealing with terrorism, revenge, science, and horror.
The stories that one can find here are:
1. Bird's Eye 1.0
2. Bird's Eye 2.0
3. 25 Minutes
4. The Woods of Sleepy Hollow
5. Ransom
6. Dance with Death
7. The Strange Pattern
If you have already read the author's Bengali book চতুর্দশ থ্রিলার then you would have read most of the stories. Nevertheless, they are crisp stories that succeed in entertaining even with previous exposure.
Recommended.
