Star Rating 2/5 It’s not really for me.

About Book: n 1978, a horrific murder takes place in the small idyllic town of Callipur, India. The murder and a string of robberies have the town on edge. The mystery baffles the police department and the young officer who is desperately searching for the truth. In Shankar Sen’s first case, each turn and clue seem to lead to a dead end. The young man who is killed is well liked and has no enemies. Is it a robbery gone wrong? Or is there something sinister going on that someone is trying to hide? As the young detective steadfastly investigates the mystery, he finds that he cannot always rely on his own department. But he gets help from an unlikely source. As the investigation heads towards its conclusion, more secrets are revealed, and uncovering the truth may not necessarily mean getting justice.

My Thoughts: Broken Dreams" by Aditya Banerjee had an interesting premise, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations and what I like to read. The plot for me lacked any real depth or complexity. The characters were one-dimensional and unrelatable, making it difficult to become invested in their struggles. Additionally, the writing style was dry and lacked any real spark or flair. While the book had some potential, it ultimately failed to deliver a satisfying reading experience for me.
