मौत की आहट

Sunil #75

by सुरेन्द्र मोहन पाठक

कुछ ऐसी ही किस्मत पाई थी सुनील ने कि जहां भी उसका दखल होता था, असाधारण घटनायें जैसे अपने-आप घटित होने लगती थीं । अपने एक दोस्त को पंगे में पड़ने से बचाने के लिये जब सुनील ऑफिस से निकला तो जैसे जादू के जोर से - एक बार फिर - एक लाश उसके गले पड़ गई । एक अजीबो-गरीब वसीयत के चक्कर में फंसे एक परिवार की अद्भुत कहानी ।

165 pages, Kindle Edition

[Ashwin Dongre · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an excellent murder mystery written long ago by SMP. His Sunil series novels are all great. We need all of them to be converted into audiobooks here.
I would have rated this book 5 star, except for the narration, which is below 2 stars, that's why I rated here 4.
Audible needs to get a better narrator. Sameer Goswami has a great voice, But that is not the only requirement for a good narrator. A great narrator needs ability to modulate his voice, and most importanly he needs to be able to emote. Goswami does neither of those, Even when the story says the character said the sentence in some particular way, he does not do it. He narrates in almost monotone. His focus to enunciate each word results in unnatural reading. For example, he pronunced 'Cold drink' as 'colduh dreenk'. If you've listened to any of the Audible audiobooks, you'll spot the difference in his performance. I mean I'm not saying he has to be as great as Ray Porter, but he can be atleast an average narrator who can emote and modulate.
Audible, please please convert all of the SMP's Sunil and Sudhir series novels, but use a better narrator.

A very unusual murder mystery. Two seemingly different incidents turn out to be extension of one accident, the moment Sunil enters into the fray. Pure thriller of novel
