Deadly Clues by Amritendu Mukherjee


Deadly Clues by Amritendu Mukherjee is an electrifying and cerebral whodunit that introduces readers to Victor Chatterjee, a sharp and martial arts trained Holmesian figure navigating the shadows of a terrifying mystery. The story, narrated by his younger brother Rik, draws you in from the first page with an ominous blood spattered bathroom and a desperate plea from a friend whose family is being stalked by an unknown force.

The novel weaves two threads, a chilling case of illegal wildlife poaching that spirals into international intrigue and a deeply personal mystery involving a stolen family heirloom and a gruesome murder. Mukherjee crafts a tightly knit narrative where every character, clue and footprint carries weight. What sets this story apart is its realism. The protagonist is no superhero, but a brilliant and determined young man piecing together dangerous truths while avoiding both bullets and bureaucracy.

The scenes are vivid, the deductions compelling and the suspense masterfully sustained. Vik’s confrontation with professional criminals, his duel of wits with a corrupt journalist and the unraveling of secrets inside a seemingly peaceful household make this book impossible to put down.

The mix of family loyalty, sharp observation and high stakes detective work reminds one of early Sherlock Holmes stories but is grounded in a rich Indian setting that feels fresh and immediate.

This book is highly recommended for teenagers, young adults and mystery lovers who enjoy fast paced thrillers with smart protagonists and a strong emotional core. An absolute page turner.

TEN Questions with Melissa Reeves

1. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us something about your book "And Then I Laughed" Answer:  My name is Melissa and I am a single widow of four young children who are my reason for everything I do. I love being creative and have loved to write since a young age. Introducing myself feels strange right now. I am still in the process of rediscovering who I am in the midst of being a widow and a mother, a journey I think all mothers face. I am much more interested in the company I keep than where I want to be. It doesn't matter where I go, as long as I am around people I love. I spent many years traveling, being very mobile and sometimes homeless so I enjoy my little house and the stability and coziness it gives my family. Maybe one day I will be open to exploring again, but for now I am enjoying the calm of four walls.  2. When did you get the thoughts of writing this book?  Answer:  This book, And Then I Laughed, is the cul...
