Review: ‘Missing, Presumed Dead’, by Kiran Manral

“Manral creates an eerie atmosphere of tension and suspense, with an undercurrent of menace adding to the constant sense of impending doom. Her characters, unreliable and unpredictable, intensify the feeling of unease, drawing you into the intricate web of lies and deceit they have woven, even as, conversely, the vulnerability of the missing woman evokes your sympathy.

The prose here is strong, the style racy, and the writing effectively blends action with memorable characterisation, with the twists and turns making it a thoroughly gripping, chilling crime tale. A perfect monsoon page-turner.”
