A crime thriller revolving around a murder and politics inside a family, Abyss shines out for being simple, yet meaningful. The Kolkata backdrop of the book plays really well into the story, and a murder in the family gets every member under the sharp lens of Renuka Sanyal, a former IPS officer who's now a detective.

This 120-page book shows perfectly how power can create a wall of hatred between family members, how power can destroy a person from inside and how ignorance of society's issues can lead to rebellion in the mind of the heir apparent to the company in the centre of the book.

Writing style of Subarna sir is quite simple, yet convincing. He cleverly blends love and politics together, which makes it more interesting. Another highlight is the way it is written. Totally written as a play, this book smartly cuts out on all the drama a crime book normally has. And, through limited characters, Subarna sir cuts on too much confusion and plot diversion.

Read it to find who's the murderer and why he/she committed this murder.

I would definitely recommend this book to every bibliophile!
