Book review: Murder In The Jungle: A Mystery Hounder Adventure

By -
Murder In The Jungle: A Mystery Hounder Adventure written by Sutapa Basu. This book can be quoted under the mystery and thriller mixed genre.

The title of the book is more or less enough for us to hint at its genre. The cover image, with its green color symbolizing the jungle, perfectly matches the plot of the book.

The protagonists of this story are all adolescents: Tara, Kabir, Vicky, and Ishi, who are friends and siblings attending the same boarding school. Though they are the main characters we also do have a few other important charcters in this story such as Kabir's parents, Nawab of Hunsur, the hamster of the teens, etc.

The story is set in the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve where, despite several surveillance cameras, tigers have gone missing. When these fabulous four visit the Nagarhole forest, they attempt to solve the mystery using their intelligence. This is the simple outline of the story. But the story reveals an even deeper mystery thriller within it. Now let me discuss my take on this book below.




I love the way how the author infused and portrayed Nawab's charcter in this book, he is the one who spikes the story's thriller element then and there. The brief introduction and the talents of each teen were given before entering the main plot, which really helps us to connect while reading the story.

Although the book centers around teens, I thoroughly enjoyed this light-hearted story with a simple thriller plot. Even adults looking for a lighter thriller read can surely give this book a try. The black and white diagrams presented between the stories, the font, and the way the story unfolds all gave me the nostalgic vibe of reading a storybook from my childhood.

The language presented in this book was so luxurious and it kind of elevated the reading experience. Having said that, if you are an extreme beginner in reading, you may struggle here and there while reading to understand certain words due to its rich vocabulary (let me make it clear again, this line is only for extreme beginners to beginners in reading). After reading some heavy books, this book acted as a palate cleanser for me and gave me the refreshment for my reading journey. Out of all, the sentence structure and the word choices presented in this book were my favorites, it really amp up the reading experience. The book started slowly, then picked up pace, but slowed down again in the middle. This inconsistency in pacing was the only downside I found in the story.

For Young adults and Teens, this will be the perfect engaging thriller. As an adult and avid reader, it took me two days to complete this book. A solid 4-star from my end.

Blog Post - How did my book-reading journey started

 H ow did my book-reading journey started When I was a little girl I used to see lots of regional books filled the entire shelf of my dad's room. He is very generous and will always allow me to touch those books but I was not allowed with the pen or pencil into that room. Of course due to some damage control preservation. Whenever I enter that room the old book presented in that room will give me a warm hug through its dedicated book smell. So whenever I entered that room I used to sniff those book's wonderful smell and will open those books and there I could find the coffee-stained color inner pages. When I go through those books I used to see the small classic old ads for Pond's Powder Tin, Colgate tooth powder, Hamam soap, etc.   The small tiny black letters, the yellow stained pages, and the pencil art inbetween the novels all were purely nostalgic to remember.  Since my 7th grade I started to read my regional novels and then when I hit 9th the public exam pre-coaching

INDIGO EARTH, the Golden, Satyuga, is very interesting and informative. What are the changes we expect to witness and How? Greetings. Indigo Earth is the Golden age. Mother Earth in its entirety is transiting into being the Indigo Earth. The changes are mentioned in the book. The answer to the ‘How’ makes it a guidebook. We all are an intrinsic part of this experience. The transition has begun. There are many who are like a guiding light, a light house, enabling others to transit. They are there. The transition is smooth sailing. 2. Spirituality, awakening, infinite consciousness, self-realization, nirvana are the terms which are associated with renunciation or sanyas. Is it true?  Hahaha….

Tales of Unstoppable Women written by Dr Urmi Thakker . The idea of creating such a book is really appreciatable. The cover looks very impressive and the images given inside the book too. About the book: This book is not a fiction or regular storybook. This book is a collection of short stories and that too not a fiction one its about the women who struggled but succeeded in their life and fulfilled their dreams. The book has the total number of seven stories and each story are about fifteen to twenty pages. The story covers the women and her life from different levels and how she fulfilled the dreams. There are pictures of those dream winners by the end of each story and three self reflection was asked to their readers. To know more about the story and these questions please do read the book. My review: The idea of creating these kinds of a book with the picture is very good and inspiring. The narration is really good and in detail. Everyone will struggle with one point and we ne
