Synopsis:
When a hunky personal trainer is found asphyxiated to death under an overloaded barbell at the posh Delhi Turf Club, on the eve of the club elections, it is first thought to be a freak accident. But soon, it becomes clear that one of the members of the DTC – all pickled-in-privilege Dilliwallahs – is a cold-blooded killer. As the capital bristles with speculation and conspiracy theories, Crime Branch veteran ACP Bhavani Singh is appointed to investigate the case. Together with his able deputies – ex-lovers Akash ‘Kashi’ Dogra, hottie crusader for human rights, and Bambi Todi, wealthy girl-about-town – ACP Bhavani sets out to solve a crime that seems simple enough at the surface, but turns out to have roots as deep and spreading as those of New Delhi’s famous Neem trees… Anuja Chauhan returns with a bloody good romance set in the pulsating heart of Lutyens’s Delhi.
Review:
Club You to Death by Anuja Chauhan is a murder mystery com romance novel set in the posh area and club of Delhi. When a personal trainer named Leo or Lambodar is dead, the story started and a lot of things around the club starts to unfold. The president of the club is to held elections on one side and on another side, we see a romance booming between childhood friends and at the same time a lot of club members lives starts to unwind, and their pretty little secrets unfold. I have heard so much about this author and her previous books, that I could not wait to read her work. So, I decided to pick up her new book and I must say I am kind of disappointed. I expected this book to be better in terms of presentation and plot. No doubt her writing style is what I enjoyed, and I am definitely going to pick up her blacklisted books at some point in life, but this one was filled with unnecessary information and directionless narration. Many things were just beating around the bush, and I did not find the need for this book to be a 400+ pages.
