Juni Dagger
Author: Arjun Chandra Kathpalia
Publisher: Rupa Publishers
Rating: 4/5
Thriller novellas are rare enough but
thriller novellas with a tinge of humour that offer moments of genuine laughter
are rarer still. ‘Juni Dagger’ comes in a complete package- with an
amalgamation of thrill, suspense and light humour. Wittingly written, this book
describes the adventures of Juni Dagger, a semi-professional connoisseur of
food and a professional detective. Along with his team, he set out on a journey
to hunt down a serial killer. His love and respect for food is something to
fall for. How beautifully the author has drawn out the connection between the
two!
With real characters and by giving the
sidekicks equal importance, the plot turns out to be intriguing and
entertaining as well. Juni Dagger acts as the cornerstone of the story. With
exemplary vocabulary and intelligent mind-mapping of events, the author has
done a fabulous job.
The story is new and the writing is
impressive. With simple yet impactful language, the author has successfully
reached out to the hearts of the readers. The storyline is strong and the
characterization of Juni further adds on to the advantage.
