Murdered To Moksh by Ketki Borgaonkar & Rohit Shetty: A Review

Name: Murdered To Moksh
Author: Ketki Borgaonkar & Rohit Shetty
Publisher: First Step Publishing

The back cover says: “WIFE’S MURDERER OR A VICTIM OF FATE”. THIS HEADLINE FLOODED THE NEWS CHANNELS. A 35 YR OLD GUY KILLING HIS WIFE AT CITY HOSPITAL AND THEN TRYING TO JUMP OFF THE SAME BUILDING. A SHELFISH, RUTHLESS MURDERER WHO TOOK AWAY A 10 YR OLD GIRLS MOTHER AND THEN ATTEMPTED A SUICIDE.
WHY?
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS?...NO.
DISPUTES WITH WIFE?...NO.
MENTALLY UNSTABLE?...NO.
THEN, WHY?
ONLY PERSON WHO HAD AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.. HE, HIMSELF.
HIS SILENCE EVEN AT THE COURT SESSIONS ADDED TO THE TWIST OF THE CASE. HE SAID NOTHING IN HIS DEFENCE NEITHER HIRED A LAWYER. HE SEEMED HEARTLESS, COLD BLOODED KILLER, A MURDERER, A MANIAC, MENTALLY UNSTABLE TO THE WORLD. EVERY MEDIUM SPOKE BAD FOR HIM BUT NO ONE REALLY CARED TO KNOW THE REASON WHY HE KILLED HIS WIFE.
HE WAS A MURDERER UNTIL ………


On the name & the cover:
The name itself sends a tickling sensation down the spine. No one can think of a better name for this work.  The authors have done proper justice to the name.
The cover looks scary which is very much needed in a book like this. The wonderful font chosen by the designer makes the cover more interesting. If I go by the content I didn’t find any significance for the blood in the cover, though the red color in the cover gives the perfect feeling the book needs.


On the narrating style:
The narrating style is fresh and very much reader friendly. Readers can easily visualize every scene by the way this book has been written. Each and every conversation is written in a way in which normal people usually converse. Without giving excessive description, the authors have very efficiently described each and every scene.


On the story-line:
As the blurb says, the story started with Aarav Rathore being sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his wife. As the story goes on and Aarav starts to walk down his memory lane from leaving his house to starting his own business to marrying his childhood friend Esha which brings the lady luck in Aarav’s life, the story picks up its speed. What made Aarav kill his wife who supported him throughout his struggle is the main prospect of the book. I would like to give Ketaki & Rohit a huge thumbs up for the amount of research they have done, readers would definitely like the researches they have put at the end of the story.


+ Point: The wonderfully written poems and their perfect placement.

- Point: Frequent chapter division and widespread chapter names.



This book has everything love, friendship, emotions, drama & thrill mixed very efficiently. A fast paced entertainer which I will recommend to every book lover.
