Last week I came across this book ‘The Compass Box killer’ by Piyush jha and after reading it only one thing came to my mind – this could be scripted to a heart stopping Bollywood Masala thriller!!! With a bit of all the necessary spices like gore, sex, deception, trickery, fidelity, double-dealing, loyalty, vengeance and at last a bewildering and twisted ending makes this book a delicious À la carte.

About the book:

The first verdict after reading 45 days in a Cancer hospital-by Alka Dimri Saklani- I could not stop myself from throwing suspicious looks at my neighbors. Both the hubby and his wife are doctors at a city cancer hospital. I confess I did have one more reason to be at daggers drawn with this couple. None of my rubber balls saw the field again after landing at their balcony! But we are not playing gully cricket with 45 days- we are trying to chalk out the pros and cons of the book. Thus here it goes.
