Closet of Lies by Samruddhi Chandak
4.0

Closet of Lies' as the name suggests is full of twists and turns. I picked up this book after reading the blurb. To be honest, I was sceptical about the story. But, it turned out to be an absolute page-turner. I liked the way how characters are portrayed and connected. Which I think is the best part of the story.
When you think that the book is over, there comes a big twist which keeps you on the edge. I liked the way how the author has woven the story.
However, at certain points, I felt that there was a bit of discontinuity in the story. The scene changes abruptly without further ado. This is both plus and minus of the story.
Also, I felt that the dealings by CBI were a bit amateurish. Maybe it's only my point of view.
Other than these, it's a well-woven thriller which keeps you at the edge.
Would I recommend this book?
Absolutely. I would recommend this book for all the thriller lovers!
