Review:
The Shadow Throne is murder
mystery molded in a frame of socio political aspect. This book has a perfect
notion to turn the pages till one finishes reading the complete book. Writing
style is detailed and the plot is well organized. The number of character are more in number and sometimes confusing as the author has portrayed intelligence and secret mission very intelligently. Often, a reader has to refer back to see who was character number 1 and who is character number 2. Author has done complete justice to the description of places like Delhi and Afghanistan. Again, in another part he has described human emotion in the loss of a wife and the despair of a friend.
Further, the parent child relation has been beautifully described. I loved the way the infamous Indo-Pak relationship has been penned down in a sophisticated, clean and politically correct method giving a bash to the open wound of the though process of either party without any reluctance. The convincing outlook of RAW in India and ISI in Pakistan has been delivered effortlessly and being a diligent writer, he has gathered no retrospect of controversy.
I completely enjoyed reading the book and would definitely expect that the author is here to stay unlike a lot others who come and go with their stories.
A must read for the thriller hungry crowd.
