When life finally seems to be getting on a positive note strange occurrences begin. People start disappearing.

Having read Ketaki's first book before, it was no surprise that the writing was lucid and captivating from the beginning. She convincingly constructs the characters and situations, making the reader get into the story with ease. The suspense is built up decently, however the plot becomes apparent too soon. It is not difficult to decode the happenings that follow. The author could have easily built a more difficult plot with more characters for it to be convoluted enough for a greater suspense. Thus though the premise is promising, the essence of a suspense isn't felt in the enormity a reader would expect.
Good for a travel read.
