Book Review 35: Sniper's Eye by Mainak Dhar.
'The Sniper's Eye' by Mainak Dhar is a suspense thriller fiction. This is the first book in the series of seven books. The story is quite gripping and interesting as well.
The protagonist, Aaditya Ghosh was out on a date with Zoya. All of a sudden there was a sudden shot, a high-calibre one, which was silent. And the man in front of him fell dead. Aaditya gets himself involved in the incident. Will he be able to save himself, his loved ones? Read the book to know what happens next.
The plot is filled with actions and thrill. However, the pace of the story at some places was a bit slow as it was very descriptive. Also, the thrill element which one would expect in this book was a little lacking. The first half of the book seemed more interesting than the second half. Nevertheless, the characters are well developed. And the narration is beautifully done too. Another fact which makes the book intriguing is that it highlights the theme of international politics.
I am looking forward to reading the next books in this series.
