Review: State vs Amrit Kumar

State vs Amrit Kumar by Govind Sharma
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

[Note: I won this book in Goodreads giveaway and this is my honest review of the book]

This is the second book, which I have read, by the author Dr. Govind Sharma.

The good thing about this book is that the story is good and it's pacy after initial slowness in the narration.

By looking at the title of the book I thought that this book would be some sort of court room drama but I didn't find that.

The story has many characters where a pujari is murdered to usurp the unused land of his temple and his nephew is also falsely implicated for his murder.the nephew is also murdered in jail. Now his young wife with just born kid moves to live with her brother but her brother is also murdered by the same gang. Her son Amrit goes on to become a police officer and the story ends with some more killings where Amrit is implicated for wrongly conducting a raid on a businessman and during the process the businessman gets killed.

So, this is the story. The narration was pacy barring the initial 50 pages where the author took the liberty to build up the story. After that, the story has pace. There is no suspense in the story and it is narrated as it happens so as reader I know everything that is going on but the Amrit and his mother Madhu would never know who killed his father.

Also, the name of the book is inept and doesn't justify the story. There are no court room discussions to suggest that there is case a person is fighting against the state.

I found this book pacy mad, interesting and I rate it 3/5.
