Review: The Rhythm of Riddles: Three Byomkesh Bakshi Mysteries

The Rhythm of Riddles: Three Byomkesh Bakshi Mysteries by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometimes it's so difficult to write a review. The story is so engrossing that you are just lost in it without any other peripheral thoughts. You tend to not look for patterns or observe any follies. This book has been one of those kinds. Just open it, read it, and enjoy it. The translation is very smooth.

Given all my praise you might wonder why only 4 stars, that's because in the first story there's a back story that's not told to readers and even in second story a small detail that reader doesn't know till the end. But still these are minor details and this is a proper detective / mystery books. These stories are not like the ones that sustain mystery just by overusing pronouns and ending chapters abruptly, along the lines of The girl on train by Paula Hawkins. These are good proper crime mystery novels. I've become a fan of the Author.

A must read.
