Adelard Klaus: The Mystery Unfolds... by Mohammad Rafaat Khan
4.0

Here is my review on Adelard Klaus:
Let me first tell you what this book is about and how it is structured - A guy named Nathan Brian. let's call him Brian. So this Brian comes to Mumbai for a job, there he ends up becoming the flatmate of a famous and intelligent detective named Adelard Klaus. He is someone like Sherlock Holmes. He works privately and helps people unraveling the mysteries. And he is really very good at it. This book is not a whole novel but a series of short stories representing each case of Adelard Klaus.

Okay, so, telling the stories were good would be underestimating them. I mean they were brilliant. Such clever tactics and tools were used in each and every story. I was honestly mind blown with a couple of them. Crime and detective thrillers always blow my mind with their unique perspectives and angles. And this one definitely lived upto my expectations.

The only thing that bothered me was the dialogues and writing. Nah, it wasn't bad but it could have been better. That would have made the book even more awesome. Also, having given a role for Brian, his characterization should have been deep and made him more relatable to the stories. Other than that, this book was really good.
